Little Women movie - Weekly Volcano Press lyrics
rate me<br>
Jo: [Sung]<br>
I came to New York on a dream,<br>
I knew it might take me awhile.<br>
But all I've been hearing, since I arrived,<br>
Is leave it right there on the pile.<br>
<br>
So today I woke up.<br>
And decided it's time.<br>
Time to achieve,<br>
Time to thrive,<br>
Time to climb!<br>
<br>
Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>
Miss March, tell us what happened!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Sung]<br>
Sometimes when you dream, <br>
Your dream is just a guess,<br>
Sometimes, when you work really hard <br>
You don’t know,<br>
If you’ll ever find success!<br>
<br>
So I grabbed a story to sell,<br>
And got ready to raise hell.<br>
Then I marched out the door, <br>
And headed right for, <br>
The Weekly Volcano Press!<br>
<br>
Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>
Henry Dashwood, now he is a man of taste.<br>
<br>
Jo: [Sung]<br>
Dashwood was a fiend. <br>
He sneered at my distress.<br>
Tossed my story high on a stack, <br>
But I was<br>
Determined I would progress!<br>
<br>
I said ‘Sir, I’ll wait while you read.’<br>
But alas, he disagreed. <br>
So I jumped on a chair, <br>
And read it right there,<br>
At The Weekly Volcano Press!<br>
<br>
Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>
You did what?<br>
Jo: [As Clarissa]<br>
Keep away from me, you wretch!<br>
<br>
Jo: [As Braxton] <br>
I cannot keep away! <br>
Your beauty draws me,<br>
Your passion ignites me!<br>
<br>
Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>
Ah, it’s the one with all the horror in it.<br>
The blood bath!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Spoken]<br>
That’s the one! But I took to heart what you said, <br>
And I embellished. I made it better.<br>
<br>
Jo/Braxton: [Sung]<br>
I’ve got, to have you!<br>
<br>
Jo/Clarissa: [Sung]<br>
I defy you!<br>
<br>
Braxton: <br>
I will take you!<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
Let me by you!<br>
<br>
Let go! Let go! Let go, let go, let go!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Spoken]<br>
Rodrigo appears, in magnificent splendor!<br>
<br>
Rodrigo: [Spoken]<br>
Unhand that woman, villain!<br>
<br>
Clarissa/Braxton: [Spoken]<br>
Who are you?<br>
<br>
Rodrigo: [Sung]<br>
I am your destiny!<br>
Your bitterest foe!<br>
I’ve come to avenge your crimes, <br>
Of ten years ago…<br>
<br>
Braxton/Clarissa: [Spoken]<br>
Agh!/ Ahh!<br>
<br>
Rodrigo: [Spoken]<br>
Run to the forest! Run!<br>
<br>
Clarissa: <br>
I can’t! The forest is dangerous! <br>
My sister went in there and never returned!<br>
<br>
Rodrigo: <br>
You must risk it! You must take the dark path! <br>
Your fate awaits you!<br>
<br>
Braxton: <br>
She will never escape me!<br>
<br>
Rodrigo:<br>
Hurry!<br>
<br>
Braxton:<br>
En Garde!<br>
<br>
Rodrigo: <br>
Go, now!<br>
<br>
Clarissa: <br>
Ahhh!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Sung]<br>
Dashwood was aghast, <br>
But I could not care less.<br>
Words I spoke, ignited the air, I felt like,<br>
A publishing lioness!<br>
<br>
That’s when Dashwood started to shout, <br>
And I thought he’d throw me out!<br>
But then I persevered, and a forest appeared <br>
At The Weekly Volcano Press!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Spoken]<br>
The forest is dark, and scary.<br>
Clarissa enters, trembling, fearful of what fate awaits her. <br>
She comes to a fork in the road and stops.<br>
<br>
Clarissa: [Spoken]<br>
Which way do I go?<br>
Jo: <br>
A Hag appears.<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
Ahh!<br>
<br>
Hag: [Sung]<br>
I can help you choose.<br>
But you must make a sacrifice.<br>
Give me something, dear,<br>
Those combs would be nice…<br>
<br>
Clarissa: [Sung]<br>
Without these combs<br>
What will I be?<br>
<br>
Hag: <br>
Perhaps a Hag as dull as me…<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
I can’t…<br>
<br>
Hag: <br>
You’ll never know your destiny<br>
Unless you give up vanity..<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
I’ve got to know,<br>
Please show me where to go!<br>
<br>
Hag:<br>
Your fate awaits you there!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Spoken]<br>
The path is perilous. <br>
She avoids swamps, she loses her footing!<br>
Her shoes tumble off. <br>
The sleeve of her dress gets caught on a twisted limb.<br>
She comes to wild rapids and can go no further.<br>
<br>
Clarissa: [Spoken]<br>
How should I get across?<br>
<br>
Jo: <br>
A troll appears.<br>
<br>
Troll: [Sung]<br>
If you want to cross,<br>
You must pay me!<br>
I’ve the only boat, <br>
That can get you there alive.<br>
I see you wear a necklace, <br>
That holds a pretty jewel.<br>
My price to get across,<br>
Is what you’re wearing ‘round your neck<br>
Oh how it’s glitter makes me drool…<br>
<br>
Clarissa: [Sung]<br>
I’ve nothing left but this, <br>
My prospects are so bleak!<br>
<br>
Troll:<br>
You’ll never know what wisdom is <br>
Unless you give up all your riches!<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
Here, it’s yours!<br>
Now show me distant shores!<br>
<br>
Troll:<br>
I’ll take you to your fate!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Sung]<br>
Sometimes when you dream, <br>
Your dreams come true, <br>
In extraordinary ways, <br>
Suddenly a day<br>
Can be so amazing!<br>
And sometimes when you yearn<br>
You burn the air!<br>
And someone else feels the flame <br>
You always knew was there!<br>
<br>
Knight: [Spoken]<br>
Stop, please!<br>
<br>
Clarissa: [Spoken]<br>
I cannot stop!<br>
<br>
Knight:<br>
Can you not give a tired old knight some assistance?<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
I have nothing left to give!<br>
<br>
Knight:<br>
Give me your time!<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
My fate awaits me!<br>
<br>
Knight: <br>
Can you not care for me? <br>
It’s been years since I felt the touch of another hand.<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
Then take mine.<br>
And take my shawl. <br>
Ragged as it is.<br>
<br>
Knight:<br>
You have now completed your journey.<br>
My sword is yours. <br>
It will protect you against your enemies.<br>
You may now return to the moors.<br>
[Sung]<br>
Your fate is in your hands…<br>
<br>
Jo: [Spoken]<br>
And Clarissa raced from the forest, <br>
Raced to the moors where she called<br>
“I have returned, Braxton!<br>
I will free the moors of your tyranny!<br>
Fight me!”<br>
<br>
Braxton: [Spoken]<br>
I always knew you’d come back to me. <br>
They always do.<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
Ahh!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Spoken]<br>
Clarissa thrusts, she parries! <br>
She backs up Braxton and <br>
Pins him against a tree!<br>
She leaps up on a craggy rock, her sword <br>
Swishing and swooshing!<br>
Never has she been more determined.<br>
She is on fire!<br>
Pity she hadn’t taken dueling lessons.<br>
<br>
Out of nowhere, <br>
Who should appear, <br>
But the long forgotten Rodrigo!<br>
<br>
Rodrigo: [Spoken] <br>
This is your end, villain!<br>
I’ve waited I lifetime to destroy you!<br>
<br>
Braxton: [Spoken]<br>
Who are you?<br>
<br>
Rodrigo:<br>
I am your worst nightmare, Braxton.<br>
[Beth as Rodrigo]<br>
I am- Her sister!<br>
<br>
Clarissa:<br>
Ahhh!<br>
<br>
Braxton: [Spoken] <br>
Agghh!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Sung]<br>
And then Dashwood got on his knees, <br>
Crying ‘Sell this to me Please…’<br>
<br>
Professor Bhaer: [Spoken] <br>
Miss March!<br>
<br>
Jo: [Sung]<br>
Then he ordered four more,<br>
Now I’m writing for,<br>
The Weekly Volcano Press!<br>
<br>
<br>
Jo/Clarissa/Rodrigo [Sung at the same time]<br>
<br>
I’m ready for destiny!<br>
My tresses are curled.<br>
I’ll take what is rightly mine<br>
With curtains unfurled.<br>
I will not quit, I won’t be forgotten!<br>
I will shine, I’ll dazzle and more...<br>
I’m ready to take a bow,<br>
I’ve taken a solemn vow,<br>
My destiny here, and now!<br>
I’ll astonish the world!<br>
<br>
Professor Bhaer/Hag/Troll/Knight/Mrs. Kirk [Sung at the same time]<br>
<br>
Sometimes when you dream, <br>
Your dreams com true!<br>
In extraordinary ways,<br>
Suddenly a day can be so amazing!<br>
And sometimes when you yearn,<br>
You burn the air!<br>
And someone else feels the flame<br>
You always knew<br>
Was there!<br>
<br>
<br>
