Original Broadway Cast Over The Moon
MAUREEN Last night I had a dream I found myself in a desert called Cyberland It was hot My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty Out of the abyss walked a cow - Elsie I asked if she had anything to drink She said, "I'm forbidden to produce milk In Cyberland, only thing we drink is Diet Coke." She said, "Only thing to do is jump over the moon" "They've closed everything real down. . . Like barns, troughs, performance spaces. . . And replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life But there is a way out. . . BACKUPS Leap of fate leap of fate Leap of fate leap of fate MAUREEN "Only thing to do is jump over the moon" I gotta get out of here! It's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck, Being packed in with fertelizer and fuel oil Pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse! - I've gtaa find a way MAUREEN BACKUPS To jump over the moon Leap of faith (Etc.) Only thing to do is Jump over the moon MAUREEN Then a little bulldog entered His name (we have learned) was Benny And although he once had principles He abandoned them to live as a lap dog To a wealthy daughter of the Revolution "That's bull," he said. "Ever since the cat Took up the fiddle, that cow's been jumpy. And the dish and spoon were evicted from the table - And eloped She's ahd trouble with that milk and the moon ever since. Maybe it's a female thing. 'Cause who'd want to leave Cyberland anyway? Walls ain't so bad The dish and the spoon for instance They were down on their luck - Knocked no my doghouse door. I said, 'Not in my backyard, utensils! Go back to China!' 'The only way out - is up,' Elsie whispered to me. 'A leap fo faith. Still thirsty?' she asked. Parched. 'Have some milk.' I lowered myself beneath her and held my mouth to her swollen udder and sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted. 'Climb on board,' she said. And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland We reared back and sprang into a gallop. Leaping out of orbit!!! MAUREEN BACKUPS I awoke singing Leap of faith (Etc.) Only thing to do Only thing to do is jump Only thing to do is jump over the moon Only thing to do is jump over the moon Over the moon - Over the Moooooooo Moooooooo Moooooooo Moo with me. Thank you.
