<br>

Aunt March: (spoken) <br>

We earn our dreams in this world Josephine. Ha. <br>

It's foolish of me to think you could ever change your ways.<br>

<br>

Jo: (spoken) <br>

I could try. <br>

<br>

Aunt March: (singing) <br>

You could never bend your will, you could never follow through. <br>

You could never bite your tongue, though your tongue may split in two. <br>

If you want to live your dreams, these are things you have to do! <br>

How could you change? You can't. Not you. <br>

<br>

Jo: (spoken) <br>

I could change if I wanted to.<br>

<br>

Aunt March: (singing) <br>

could you practice self control? Could you possibly be shy? <br>

Could you wear a corset tight in the heat of mid-July? <br>

These are rules you must obey, every one which you defy! You'll never change!<br>

You won't. That's why. <br>

Yet somewhere deep within my heart I do believe, you could captivate the world. <br>

If you could change there is so much you could achieve. <br>

In time you could succeed and travel very far indeed. You could be beguiling!<br>

<br>

Jo: (singing) <br>

charming me? <br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

someone well mannered, a model of grace. Learn the art of smiling!<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

That could be hard.<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

It isn't very hard!! For someone full of dreams like you, <br>

if you work you'll find there's nothing you can't do!<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

So if I change we'll go to Paris?<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Change completely or don't waste my time!<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

If I change we'll stop in Antwerp?<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Gracious living will make you sublime.<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

If I change you'll take me to Zurich?<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Every city from Dublin to Kahn!<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

Sure thee with your guidance I can learn to use feminine wild with alarm! <br>

I could be beguiling. <br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Ah ah ah<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

Ah ah ah <br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Ah ah ah ah<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

I could learn to charm a donkey for a chance to see the world. <br>

Learn the art of smiling!<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Ah ah ah, ah ah ah<br>

<br>

Both: <br>

Ah ah ah ah ah!<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

I could button up my mind and keep my thoughts perfumed and burned. <br>

Yes I surely think I could. <br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

If you could that would be good. <br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

There's nothing that I wouldn't suffer to see the world! <br>

I can do it if I try. I can do it by sheer will. <br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

All you have to do is work to acquire any skill. <br>

<br>

Both: <br>

These are things a girl must do whe she has dreams she must fulfill!<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Change how you walk and how you talk. <br>

Change how you think and how you are.<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

I'll hold my breath and hold my tongue, do what it takes to travel far!<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Could you?<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

Ah ah ah ah ah<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Could you?<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

Ah ah ah ah ah<br>

<br>

Aunt March: <br>

Could you?<br>

<br>

Jo: <br>

AH ah ah ahaa ah ah ah ah ahhhhh! Yes I could!<br>

<br>

Aunt March:<br>

Good!<br>

<br>
