Stephen Sondheim The Lame, The Halt And The Blind (cut From Anyone Can Whistle)
Step up, step up, step right up
Buy your blessings, get your tickets
Cures confusion, croup, and rickets
Only one blessing per pilgrim per ticket
Only one blessing per pilgrim per ticket
Only one
All for the lame, the halt, and the blind
And anyone out of their mind
The lame shall saunter, the halt shall run
The blind shall look on the light of the sun
It's holy, it's healthy, it's easy, it's fun
Count your blessings, get your
Only one blessing per pilgrim per ticket
Only one
Step up, step up, step right-
[Incomprehensible]
Help
Amen
Lest be the deaf, the dumb, and the sick
And anything else you can pick
The deaf shall hear and the dumb shall speak
The sick shall find all the sucker they sick
Minority groups get a discount this week
Step up, step up, step right-
Count the suckers
Find the blabby one
Blessing per pilgrim per ticket
Only one-
[Incomprehensible]
Comfort
Amen
Come slake your
Spiritual thirst
Get kissed
Get blessed
Get full immersed
Get dry
Get dressed
Put God to the test
But do it fast
The first shall be first
And the last shall be last
La la la la la la
[Incomprehensible]
Rainbow
Amen
Come all ye fierce, ye frail, and ye pure
And any who aren't too sure
The frail shall fight and the fierce be fae
The pure shall throw inhibition away
If not, well, we're sorry, you still have to pay
You can't expect miracles every day
Step up, step up, step right-
Buy your tickets
Light your candles
Blessing per pilgrim per ticket
Only one-
[Incomprehensible]
Happy
Amen
