Lyrics

I am not young enough to know everything
True friends stab you in the front
I can resist everything except temptation
The only difference between a sinner and a saint is every saint has a past
And every sinner has a future
We are all of us in the gutter
But some of us are looking up at the stars
Good evening, gentles all
Welcome to the theatre
Excuse me?
I say it with the R-E to be more sophisticated
Eh
Tonight, we celebrate the work of
Oscar
Fingal
O'Flahertie
Wills
Wilde
The poet
Playwright
Novelist
And lover of
Green carnations
Green carnations? That's a little queer, isn't it?
You have no idea
When the lights are low
And the door's shut tight
You can take your space
You can find your light
Slouch!
I'm sorry, but it's all so wonderful!
As it's meant to be
Stop gawping and come along
Woah-oh
With its style gentile
And its manners mild
Comes the gayest lark
From the pen of Wilde
I feel like that's meant to say something
It did
But you aren't
Oh-oh
Life is what you make it
If the shoe fits, break it in
No one will know if it's your makeup or your natural glow
Let's go!
Become, become, become yourself
The world is waiting for your self
You're making rainbows from yourself
Become, become
Yeah, everyone
Become, become
Become yourself
Tonight, we present Wilde's masterwork
The Importance of Being
Slouch!
What did I do?
The sign reads "The Importance of Being 'Ernixst'"?
"Ernext"?
One barely knows how to pronounce the thing without succumbing to the guttural
Why was I not alerted to this error?
Oh, because I did it on purpose
You know, X? The unknown
X marks the spot, who's Ernest?
I don't know, spooky
I shall deal with you later
When the tea is poured
In the parlour room
Though the tone is light
Feel the tension loom
The year is 1893, in a fashionable part of London
In the sitting room of Algy Moncrieff
Oh-oh
Such a fashion plate
Oh so dignified
Hiding gambling debts
With a boast of pride
Oh, I'm so naughty!
Woah-oh
Life is what you make it
If the shoe fits, break it in
No one will know
What's behind the mask
Or scenic tableau
Heigh-ho
Become, become, become yourself
The world is waiting for your self
You're making rainbows from yourself
Become, become
Yeah, everyone
Become
Become yourself
Enter Ernest Worthing, a young person of excellent character, if slightly faulty pedigree
But oh so dreamy
That's very sweet, but I'm merely myself
Or that's what you'd like us to think
Come along, Slouch
A costume drama set
In 1893
Opens up the world
Of who we used to be
The dresses and the suits
Victorian and queer
Our lies belie a truth
That's hiding under the veneer
We present this paragon of wit, satire
And the course of true love
Time for the show to start
Places, everyone
Play your part
Lights up! Look smart!
Become, become, become yourself
The world is waiting for your self
You're making rainbows from yourself
Become, become
Now, everyone
Well, not everyone
Oh, yes! Everyone!
Become, become, become yourself
The world is waiting for your self
You're making rainbows from yourself
Become
Smiles always bright
Oh
Pinkies always out
Oh
Sandwiches always
Cucumber?
Become, become, become
The Importance of Being
Yourself!
Oh-oh
And scene!
