Defying Gravity =

8. RUN AND TELL THAT

SEAWEEK
Hey Tracy, my mom is hosting a platter party up on North Avenue. Wanna "check it out"?

PENNY
May I also "check it out?

SEAWEED
Oh, you surely may!

TRACY
I've never been to North Avenue!

LINK
Ya think it'll be all right for, you know... us?

SEAWEED
It's cool, cracker boy!

PENNY
Being invited places by colored people!

TRACY
It feels so hip!

SEAWEED
I'm glad you feel that way, friends, 'cause not everybody does.

I can't see
Why people look at me
And only see the color of my face

And then there's those
That try to help, god knows
But have to always put me in my place

Now I won't ask you to be color blind
'Cause if you pick the fruit
Then girl, you're sure to find...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin', what's the use?

The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
And that's where it's at...
...now run and tell that!!

ENSEMBLE
Run and tell that!

SEAWEED
Run and tell that!

ENSEMBLE
Run and tell that!

SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
I can't see
Why people disagree
Each time I tell them what I know is true

And if you come
And see the world I'm from
I bet your heart is gonna feel it too

Yeah. I could lie
But baby. Let's be bold
Vanillajian be nice
But if the truth be told...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so
But darlin', what's the use

The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
That's where it's at

Now run and tell that!!

ENSEMBLE
Run and tell that!

(The scene shifts to Motormouth Maybelle's record shop dance party where her daughter Li'l Inez and her friends are already in full swing.)

L'IL INEZ
Hey, you're Tracy Turnblad! You're my favorite dancer on the Corny Collins Show.

SEAWEED
This is my sister, Li'l Inez.

TRACY
Sure. I saw you at the auditions.

L'IL INEZ
Well, you're the only one who
did, 'cause they kicked me out
on my young, gifted and black behind.

SEAWEED
Tell 'em about it!

L'IL INEZ
I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride

SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
So give me five on the black-hand side

L'IL INEZ
I've got a new way of movin'
And I got my own voice

SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
So how can I help
But to shout and rejoice

L'IL INEZ
The people 'round here
Can barely pay their rent
They're "try'n to make dollar
Out 'a fifteen cent"
But we got a spirit
Money just can't buy

L'IL INEZ & ENSEMBLE
It's deep as a river
And soars to the sky!!

SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
I cant see
The reason it cant be
The kinda world where we all get our chance

The time is now
And we can show them how
To turn the music up and let's all dance

'Cause all things are equal
When it comes to love
Well, that ain't quite true
'Cause when push comes to shove...

The blacker the berry
The sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so

But darlin', what's the use
The darker the chocolate
The richer the taste
That's where it's at

SEAWEED
...Now run and tell that!!

ENSEMBLE
Run and tell that!

SEAWEED
Run and tell that!!

9. BIG, BLONDE AND BEAUTIFUL

MOTORMOUTH
Once upon a time
Girl I was just like you
Never let my extra large
Largesse shine through

Hair was brown and nappy
Never had no fun
I hid under a bushel
Which is easier said than done!

Then one day my grandma
Who was big and stout
She said you gotta love yourself
From inside out

And just as soon as I learned
How to strut my funky stuff
I found out that the world at large
Cant get enough so...

Bring on that pecan pie
Pour some sugar on it
Sugar don't be shy

Scoop me up a mess
Of that chocolate swirl
Don't be stingy,
I'm a growing girl

I offer big love
With no apology
How can I deny the world
The most of me

I am not afraid
To throw my weight around
Pound by pound by pound
Because I'm
Big, blonde and beautiful
There is nothin' 'bout me
That's unsuitable

No one wants a meal
That only offers the least
When girl we're servin' up
The whole damn feast

Slice off a piece
Of that hog head cheese
Then take a look inside
My book of recipes

Now, don't you sniff around
For something fluffy and light
I need a man who brings
A man-size... Appetite

I'll use a pinch of sugar
And a dash of spice
I'll let ya lick the spoon
Because it tastes so nice

I'll keep it in my oven
'Til it's good and hot
Keep on stirring til it hits the spot
Because I'm...

Big, blonde and beautiful
And Edna girl, you're lookin' so
Recruitable
Why sit in the bleachers
Timid and afraid
When Edna,
You can be your own parade!

TRACY
So? How 'bout it, Mama?

EDNA
Well, I am big, I am blonde... ish, and if you say
I'm beautiful, I guess I'm beautiful. OK, I'll do it!

ALL
Yeaaa!
Look out old Baltimore
We're marching in
'And we ain't shufflin'
Through that old back door

EDNA
And Tracy, I will join the fight
If I can keep up this pace

WILBUR
And girls, I'll be right at your side
If I can find some space

MOTORMOUTH
So you can
Hold your head up
Just as big as ya please
You know they'll hear me knockin'
With the two of these!

MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
Tomorrow, side by side
We'll show the world what's right

EDNA
Looks like I'm touchin' up my roots tonight!

MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
Then we'll be
Big, blonde and beautiful
It's time to face the fact
It's irrefutable

Can't ya hear that rumbling?
That's our hunger to be free
It's time to fin'ly taste
Equality

COUNCIL MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS
On mother/daughter day
Where thin is in,
We're white as wool

MOTORMOUTH
Well ladies, big is back!
And as for black, it's...

MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
...Beautiful!!

MOTORMOUTH
All shapes and sizes, follow me

EDNA
Let's bust their chops!

VELMA
Quick, call the cops!

MOTORMOUTH & PROTESTERS
We're gonna dance our way to victory!
And get us on TV!

PROTESTERS
2...4...6...8...TV'S got to integrate!

COUNCIL MEMBERS
Stay away! This isn't Negro Day!

(Police sirens wail. Whistles blow. As the protesters continue their march, they are loaded into the paddy wagon.)

MOTORMOUTH
You bet I'm big!

EDNA (pulling on Velma's hair)
This blond is gray!

LINK
Tracy, this was beautiful!

MOTORMOUTH
Big, blonde, and beautiful leads the way!

ENSEMBLE
No one's getting on TV today!

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

If she meant I have to find someone to stay at the concert with me I'm going to slit her throat. I hate everyone I know.

 

[jbcheerchick93]

[MuskratSusie]

Hello.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I would probably only go with my cousins since they're like, the only people in my family that I like...I never talk to them, lol.

11. GOOD MORNING BALTIMORE (Reprise)

TRACY
Oh, oh, oh
I'm all alone
My heart has grown
But it's broken, too

This morning
Life was a Baltimore fairy tale
Now I can't make bail!

My mother's in shock
My father's in hock
I much prefer Link's arms
To jailhouse cells

So Link, please rescue me now
'Cause I love you
And this prison smells.
Link, hear the bells!

And get ready, Baltimore
There's a bright, brand-new
Day in store
Let me out so this dream's
Unfurled
I'll eat some breakfast,
Then change the world!
And I promise Baltimore
Once I cha-cha right out of
That door
The world's gonna wake up
And see
Link's in love with me!

 

[jbcheerchick93]

When I'm done with Hairspray, I'll do Wicked, ok?

[MuskratSusie]

12. (YOU'RE) TIMELESS

WILBUR
Styles keep a changin'
The world's re-arrangin'
But Edna, you're timeless to me
Hemlines are shorter
A beer costs a quarter
But time cannot take what comes free

You're like a stinky old cheese, babe
Just gettin' riper with age
You're like a fatal disease, babe
But there's no cure
So let this fever rage

Some folks can't stand it
Say time is a bandit
But I take the opposite view
Cause when I need a lift
Time brings a gift
Another day with you
A twist or a waltz
It's all the same schmaltz
With just a change in the scenery
You'll never be old hat
That's that!
You're timeless to me

EDNA
Oh, Wilbur!

Fads keep a-fadin'
Castro's invading!
But Wilbur, you're timeless to me
Hairdos are higher
Mine feels like barbed wire
But you say I'm chic as can be!

You're like a rare vintage ripple
A vintage they'll never forget
So pour me a teeny weenie triple
And we can toast the fact we ain't dead yet!
I can't stop eating
Your hairline's receding
Soon there'll be nothing at all
So, you'll wear a wig
While I roast a pig
Hey! Pass that geritol

Glenn Miller had class
That Chubby Checker's a gas
But they all pass eventually
You'll never be passe
Hip hooray!
You're timeless to me

(They dance.)

EDNA
You're like a broken down Chevy
All you need is a fresh coat of paint

WILBUR
And Edna, you got me goin' hot and heavy
You're fat and old, but baby, boring you ain't!

WILBUR & EDNA
Some folks don't get it
But we never fret it
'Cause we know that time is our friend
It's plain to see
That you're stuck with me
Until the bitter end

And we got a kid
Who's blowin' the lid
Off the Turnblad family tree

EDNA
You'll always hit the spot
Big shot!
You're timeless to me

WILBUR
You'll always be du jour
Mon amour
You're timeless to me

EDNA
You'll always be first string

WILBUR
Ring-a-ding-ding!

WILBUR & EDNA
You're timeless to me

EDNA
You're timeless to me

WILBUR
You're timeless to me

WILBUR & EDNA
You're timeless to me!!

13. WITHOUT LOVE

SEAWEED (climbing in Penny's window)
Psst Penny! What happened?!

PENNY (strapped into bed)
My mother's punishing me for going to jail without permission!

SEAWEED
Well, I'm here to save the fair maiden in her tower.

PENNY
Oh, Seaweed!

LINK (sneaking into jail)
Tracy, you took beautiful behind bars!

TRACY
It must be the low-watt instutionai lighting!

LINK
Oh Tracy, they can keep us from kissing,
but they can't stop us from singing!

LINK
Once I was a selfish fool
Who never understood
I never looked inside myself
Though on the outside, I looked good!

Then we met and you made me
The man I am today
Tracy, I'm in love with you
No matter what you weigh
'Cause...

LINK & ENSEMBLE
Without love
Life is like the seasons with
No summer
Without love
Life is rock 'n' roll without
A drummer

Tracy, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
Tracy, never set me free
No, I ain't lyin'
Never set me free, Tracy,
No, no, no!!

TRACY
Once I was a simple girl
Then stardom came to me
But I was still a nothing
Though a thousand fans may
Disagree

ENSEMBLE
Tracy!!

TRACY
Fame was just a prison
Signing autographs a bore
I didn't have a clue
'Til you came banging on my door

TRACY & ENSEMBLE
That without love
Life is like my dad without his bromo
Without love
Life is making out with Perry Como!

Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
So darling, throw away the key

LINK & TRACY
I'm yours forever

TRACY
Throw away the key

LINK, TRACY & ENSEMBLE
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

SEAWEED
Living in the ghetto
Black is everywhere ya go
Who'd 've thought I'd love a girl
With skin as white as winter's snow

PENNY
In my ivory tower
Life was just a hostess snack
But now I've tasted chocolate
And I'm never going back

PENNY, SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
'Cause without love

SEAWEED
Life is like a beat that you can't follow

PENNY, SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Without love

PENNY
Life is Doris Day at the Apollo

PENNY, SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love

SEAWEED
So darling, never set me free

PENNY & SEAWEED
I'm yours forever
Never set me free

PENNY, SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
No, no, no!

LINK
If you're locked up in this prison, Trace
I don't know what I'll do

TRACY
Link, I've got to break out
So that I can get my hands on you

SEAWEED
And girl, if I can't touch you
Now I'm gonna lose control

PENNY
Seaweed, you're my black white knight
I've found my blue-eyed soul

SEAWEED & ENSEMBLE
Sweet freedom is our goal

LINK
Trace, I wanna kiss ya!

TRACY
Then I can't wait for parole!

(Link & Seaweed break their girls out of their respective prisons
and continue singing... of course)

ALL
'Cause without love

SEAWEED
Life is like a prom that won't invite us

ALL
Without love

LINK
Life's getting my big break and laryngitis

ALL
Without love

PENNY
Life's a '45' when you can't buy it

ALL
Without love

TRACY
Life is like my mother on a diet

ALL
Like a week that's only mondays
Only ice cream never sundaes
Like a circle with no center
Like a door marked "do not enter!"

Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be...

Without love

PENNY & LINK
Yes now you've captured me

ENSEMBLE
Without love

SEAWEED & TRACY
I surrender happily

ENSEMBLE
Without love

PENNY
Oh Seaweed

ALL
Never set me free

PENNY & SEAWEED
No, no, no

TRACY & LINK
No, I ain't lyin'

PENNY & SEAWEED
Never set me free

ALL
No, no, no
No, I don't wanna live without

PENNY
Love, love, love

LINK
Yeah, yeah, yeah

ALL
Darling, you had best believe me,
Never leave me without love!
