MS. PERETTI (spoken)

Miss Park speaks five languages.

MARCY (spoken)

No I don’t.

MS. PERETTI (spoken)

Don’t you?

MARCY (spoken)

No.

(sung) I Speak Six Languages

MS. PERETTI (spoken)

Oh, six.

MARCY

Every language easy

Easy as the recipe for making Jell-O

I Speak Six Languages

And I can say hello

In at least seven more

MS. PERETTI (spoken)

She’s also a champion rugby player.

MARCY

To excel in athletics is not difficult if one has the temperament

Apparently

I have the temperament

Yes I score some goals

So unfazed am I

As my life Unscrolls

Unamazed am I

I don’t like to brag

And I won’t ‘cause I don’t have to

But

I Speak Six Languages

All-American in hockey

And anything I do

I do without getting sore

I Speak Six Languages

And I like the theme from Rocky

Though I play Mozart more

GIRLS

Oooooooah

MARCY (GIRLS)

I achieve my goals (Aaaaah)

So unfazed am I

As my life unscrolls (Aaaaah)

Unamazed am I

Winning is a job (Winning is a job)

And I get no real enjoyment (And she gets no real enjoyment)

But

MARCY [GIRLS]

Je peux parler six langues [Aaaaah]

Cada idio maes simple [Oooooh]

Jerro oh yo no reshipe no yesashesades [Sashades]

Ja gavaru shetz yatzukim [Yatzukim]

V'ani yodat shalom [Yodat shalom]

MARCY, GIRLS

Im noch mindesterns sieben mehr

MARCY

I Speak Six Languages

I am so sick and tired

Of always being the best

And the brightest

At every mass

Six lousy languages

And for my height I’m the lightest

Of the girls in my class

GIRLS

She knows six languages

MARCY (spoken) [GIRLS] (sung)

That’s 1[She knows], 2[She knows],

3[She knows], 4[She knows], 5[She knows]

GIRLS

She knows...

ALL

Six!
