Lyrics

Welcome my friends

(Mr Barry!)

Glad you could join me on this most auspicious day

(Hip-hip-hooray!)

I hope you'll forgive

Mistakes and errors, we're just getting under way

(Of course, we understand)

You may recognize some of the scenes

You all played a part in sowing the seeds

Cause there is magic here in my imagination

Just believe and that can be a creation

The stories we invented, all the fun that we found

Appearing here before your eyes

The world is upside down

Our characters, what is their motivation?

Because you see I have to live and breath my part

Drawing from my own life experience

Nibs is a lost boy

Oh, lost! Good, interesting, Yes

That I can use, good, right

Is he lost in an emotional purgatory

Or lost in an existentional search for himself? Yes

No, he's just lost

Good heavens, where, when, and how?

Do you have experience being lost?

We're experiencing it now

Dogs, boy, playing, lost, hope, frustration

Believe and it can be a creation

Actors don't fly, because actors could die

Start by saying I can do it, then you can try

I can't, I won't, will not, not me

There is no magic in your imagination

I do not believe in your new creation

This disaster is all due to your play

This could be my last first day

Nauseous, anxious, my reputation, playing lost, get lost!

Serious actors cannot work this way

A positive start

The world is upside down
