LYRICS

Song: The Rainbow Connection 

(children sing, Rainbow Fairies/Yellow Crew dance)

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we’ve been told, and some choose to believe it
I know they’re wrong, wait and see
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
Look what it’s done so far
What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

All of us under its spell
We know that it’s probably magic

Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices?
I’ve heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it
It’s something that I’m supposed to be
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

La-da-da, de-da-da-do
La-da-da-da-da-de-da-do

 

Song: I Want It All

(Obsidian sings lead, Villains/Blue Crew dance and sing)

Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can’t see a way out
It ain’t much I’m asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now

Listen all you people, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground
But just give me, huh, what I know is mine
People do you hear me, just gimme the sign
It ain’t much I’m asking, if you want the truth
Here’s to the future for the dreams of youth

I want it all (give it all I want it all)
I want it all (yeah)
I want it all and I want it now

I want it all (yes I want it all)
I want it all hey
I want it all and I want it now

I’m a pixie with a one track mind
So much to do in one lifetime (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and where’s and why’s and living lies
So I’m living it all, yes I’m living it all
And I’m giving it all, and I’m giving it all
Oh oh yeah yeah ha ha ha ha ha
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want it all

It ain’t much I’m asking, if you want the truth
Here’s to the future
Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry of youth) (hear the cry of youth)

I want it all, I want it all, I want it all and I want it now

I want it all yeah yeah yeah
I want it all, I want it all and I want it now
Oh oh oh oh oh

And I want it (now)

 

Song: A Cover is Not the Book

(Children sing, Rainbow Fairies and Yellow Crew dance)

Uncle Gutenberg was a bookworm And he lived on Charing Cross The memory of his volumes brings a smile He would read me lots of stories When he wasn’t on the sauce Now I’d like to share the wisdomOf my favourite bibliophileHe said a- Cover is not the book So open it up and take a look ‘Cause under the covers one discovers

That the king may be a crook Chapter titles are like signsAnd if you read between the linesYou’ll find your first impression was mistook For a cover is nice But a cover is not the book Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ra-ta-ta-ta! Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ra-ta-ta-ta! Should we do the one about the wealthy widow? Oh, by all means! Always loved that one, Well, go on then!

 

Lady Hyacinth Macaw Brought all her treasures to a reefWhere she only wore a smilePlus two feathers, and a leaf So no one tried to rob her ‘Cause she barely wore a stitch For when you’re in your birthday suit There ain’t much there to show you’re rich!   Oh, a cover is not the book So open it up and take a look ‘Cause under the covers one discovers That the king maybe a crook Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ru-ra-la, ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ra-ta-ta! You’ll find your first impression was mistook (Ya-da-da-da) For a cover is nice But a cover is not the book   Oh, give us the one about the dirty rascal, why don’t ya? Isn’t that one a bit long? Well, the quicker you’re into it, the quicker you’re out of it Once upon a time In a nursery rhyme There was a castle with a king Hiding in a wing ‘Cause he never went to school to learn a single thing He had scepters and swords And a parliament of lords But on the inside he was sad, Egad! Because he never had a wisdom for numbers A wisdom for words

Though his crown was quite immense His brain was smaller than a bird’sSo the queen of the nation Made a royal proclamation: “To the Missus and the Messers The more or lessers Bring me all the land’s professors” Then she went to the hair dressersAnd they came from the east And they came from the south From each college they poured knowledge From their brains into his mouth But the king couldn’t learn So each professor met their fate For the queen had their heads removed And placed upon the gate And on that date I state their wives all got a note Their mate was now the late-great But then suddenly one day A stranger started in to sing He said, “I’m the dirty rascal And I’m here to teach the king” And the queen clutched her jewels For she hated royal fools But this fool had some rules They really ought to teach in schools Like you’ll be a happy king If you enjoy the things you’ve got You should never try to be The kind of person that you’re not So they sang and they laughed For the king had found a friend And they ran onto a rainbow for The story’s perfect end So the moral is you musn’t let The outside be the guide For it’s not so cut and dried

 

Well unless it’s Dr. Jekyll Then you better hide, petrified! No, the truth can’t be deniedAs I now have testified All that really counts and matters Is the special stuff inside  Oh, a cover is not the book So open it up and take a look ‘Cause under the covers one discovers That the king may be a crook So please listen to what we’ve said And open a book tonight in bed

So one more time before we get the hook (Sing it out strong!) A cover is nice (Please take our advice!) A cover is nice (Or you’ll pay the price!) A cover is nice But a cover is not the book Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ru-ra-la-la Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ru-ra-la-la Ta-ru-ra-lee, ta-ru-ra-la-la, la, la!

 

Song: Chillin’ Like a Villain

(Obsidian sings lead, Villains/Blue Crew dance and sing)

Let me tell you something you can really trust
Everybody’s got a wicked side
I know you think that you can never be like us
Watch and learn so you can get it right

You need to drag your feet
You need to nod your head
You need to lean back
Slip through the cracks
You need to not care
Uh, you need to not stare
You need a whole lot of help
You need to not be yourself

You wanna be cool?
Let me show you how
Need to break the rules
I can show you how
And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You’ll be chillin’, chillin’, oh
Chillin’ like a villain (chillin’)
Chillin’ like a villain (chillin’)
Chillin’ like a villain (hey)
Chillin’ like a, chillin’ like a (hey), villain

You get attention when you act like that
Let us teach you how to disappear
You look like you would lose a fight to an alley cat
You gotta be wrong to get it right ’round here

You need to watch your back
You need to creep around
You need to slide real smooth
Don’t make a sound
And if you want it, take it
And if you can’t take it, break it
If you care about your health
Seriously, you need to not be yourself

You wanna be cool?
Let me show you how
Need to break the rules
I can show you how
And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You’ll be chillin’, chillin’, oh
Chillin’ like a villain (chillin’)
Chillin’ like a villain (chillin’)
Chillin’ like a

I really wanna be bad a lot
And I’m giving it my best shot
But it’s hard being what I’m not
Well if you don’t, you’re gonna get us caught
He’s right, we gotta stay low-key
Now show us how bad you can be
Like this? (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Like this? (yeah, yeah)
Oh yeah, I think I got this
Let’s go, I’m ready to rock this
And I ain’t gonna thank you for your help
I think I found the worst in myself

You wanna be cool?
Let me show you how
Need to break the rules
I can show you how
And once you catch this feeling
And once you catch this feeling
You’ll be chillin’, chillin’, oh
Chillin’ like a villain (chillin’)
Chillin’ like a villain (chillin’)
Chillin’ like a villain (chillin’)
Chillin’ like a villain (chillin’)
Chillin’ like a villain

 

Song: We Got It

(Elora, Aredhel, Fawn, Rae, Sunny, Skye, Iris sing, Rainbow Fairies/Yellow Crew dance)

I’m not doing this, ‘cause even I know it don’t make no sense

Those crazy pixies got me this way; I ain’t in a rush to see that again

Just thinking about it is terrifying

Oooooooh
You ain’t gonna give up on me now

I won’t let you turn around
This won’t be easy, no way, no how, but we won’t back down
When the night is so cold, dark, and lonely
All you got to do is look at me and hear what I say
And we got it (we got it)
I got you (I got you)
So we got it (we got it)
We got it, together we do

So close, yet so far, I can see our dreams from standing right where we are

The only thing that’s in our way are these impossible odds
I’m terrified this is just way too hard

What if I fail? How do I fly?

Knowing there’s a good chance we’ll fall from the sky?
What were we thinking? Why do we even try?

That’s what we get for letting our hopes get too high

I can’t believe what I’m hearing, get a hold of yourself, woah
You ain’t gonna give up on me now

I won’t let you turn around
This won’t be easy, no way, no how, but we won’t back down
When the night is so cold, dark, and lonely
All you got to do is look at me and hear what I say
And we got it (we got it)
I got you (I got you)
So we got it (we got it)
We got it, together we do

Ain’t nobody giving us nothing, if we want it there’s just no other way
I’ll be right here, come what may, together we’ll be a face it
You know that I’ve got you there’s nothing we can’t do, oh no, oh no, oh no
Things are waiting for us so let’s go

We ain’t gonna give up on this now, we refuse to turn around
This won’t be easy, no way, no how, but we won’t back down
When the night is so cold, dark, and lonely
All you got to do is look at me and hear what I say
We got it (we got it)
I got you (I got you)
We got it (we got it)
We got it, together we do

I can conquer a mountain (together we do)
Swim the deepest sea (together we do)
There ain’t nothing I can’t do as long as you’re with me
Together, together (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Together, together (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Together, together
Together we do!

 

Song: Let it Grow

(Rae, Wren, Robin, Fawn, Pippin, Obsidian sing, Green Crew dance/sing)

You don’t know me but my name’s Rae
I’m just a girl from Encounter Bay
But I believe what these animals say
So I say let it grow

We are birds, we love this tree
It’s such a great place to live, you see
And this tree helps us all to breathe
We should let it grow

Let it grow
Let it grow
You can’t reap what you don’t sow
Plant a seed inside the earth
Just one way to know it’s worth
Let’s celebrate the world’s rebirth
We say let it grow

We all live here, and it’s true

We really love this forest too

We could share it with all of you

I say let it grow

I’m an elf, my friends are too

And I can see your point of view

Maybe the things you say are true
So I say let it grow

Let it grow
Let it grow
Like it did so long ago
Maybe it’s just one tiny tree
But it’s all we really need
It’s time to change the life we lead
Time to let it grow

My name doesn’t matter
I’m one of you
I live here in your world too
The things you say just might be true
It could be time to start anew
And maybe change my point of view
Nah! I say let it die
Let it die, let it die
Let it shrivel up and die
Come one who’s with me huh?

Nobody.

You greedy dirt bag!

Let it grow
Let it grow
Let the love inside ya show
Plant a seed inside the earth
Just one way to know it’s worth
Let’s celebrate the world’s rebirth

We say let it grow

Let it grow
Let it grow
You can’t reap what you don’t sow
It’s just one tiny tree
But it’s all we really need
It’s time to banish all your greed
Imagine our world flowered and treed
Let this be our solemn creed
We say let it grow
We say let it grow
We say let it grow
We say let it grow

 

Song: Tomorrow

(Pippin, Wren, Robin, Fawn, Rae sing, Green Crew dance and sing)

The sun’ll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There’ll be sun
Just thinkin’ about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
‘Til there’s none

When I’m stuck a with day that’s grey and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin, and say, oh

The sun’ll come out tomorrow
So you gotta hang on ’til tomorrow
Come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You’re always a day away

When I’m stuck a with day that’s grey and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin, and say, oh

The sun’ll come out tomorrow
So you gotta hang on ’til tomorrow
Come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You’re always a day away

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You’re always a day away

 

Song: Happiness

(Sunny, Skye, Iris, Elora, Aredhel sing, Rainbow Fairies/Yellow Crew dance)

Happiness is finding a flower
Pizza with sausage
Telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand

Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Knowing a secret
Climbing a tree
Happiness is five different crayons
Catching a firefly
Setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then.
And happiness is coming home again

Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and night time too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you

Happiness is having a sister
Sharing a sandwich
Getting along
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you

Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and night time too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you

 

Song: Treat People with Kindness

(Sunny, Skye, Iris, Gobby, Elora, Aredhel sing, Blue Crew dance)

Maybe we can
Find a place to feel good
And we can treat people with kindness
Find a place to feel good

I got a good feeling
I’m just takin’ it all in
Floating up and dreamin’
Droppin’ into the deep end

And if we’re here long enough
They’ll sing a song for us (ah-ah-ah-ah)
And we’ll belong

Maybe we can
Find a place to feel good
And we can treat people with kindness
Find a place to feel good

Giving second chances
I don’t need all the answers
Feeling good in my skin
I just keep on dancin’

And if we’re here long enough
We’ll see it’s all for us (ah-ah-ah-ah)
And we’ll belong

Maybe we can
Find a place to feel good
And we can treat people with kindness
Find a place to feel good

And it’s just another day (and it’s just another day)
And if our friends all go away (ah-ah, ah-ah)
It’s okay (it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay)
It’s okay, it’s okay, yeah!

Maybe we can
Find a place to feel good
And we can treat people with kindness
Find a place to feel good

All we ever want is automatic all the time
All we ever want is auto all of the time
All we ever want is automatic all the time
All we ever want is auto all of the time

Maybe we can (all together now!)
(One more time!)
Find a place to feel good (oh yeah!)
And we can treat people with kindness (just a little bit of kindness)
Find a place to feel good (ow!)

 

Song: All You Need is Love

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done
(Love) Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung
(Love) Nothing you can say, but you can learn
How to play the game,

It’s easy

Nothing you can make that can’t be made
(Love) No one you can save that can’t be saved
(Love) Nothing you can do, but you can learn
How to be you in time
It’s easy (Love)

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

All you need is love,
All you need is love,
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Nothing you can know that isn’t known
(Love) Nothing you can see that isn’t shown
(Love) There’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where
You’re meant to be
It’s easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
(Love is all you need)
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love

Love is all you need (Love is all you need) – keep repeating

 

Song: Make a Wave

(lead characters singing lead, whole cast singing chorus, bows?)

They say the beat of a butterflies wings
Can set off a storm the world away
What if they’re right and the smallest of things
Can power the strongest hurricane?
What if it all begins inside?
We hold the key that turns the tide

Just a pebble in the water (ohh)
Can set the sea in motion (ohh)
A simple act of kindness (ohh)
Can stir the widest ocean
If we show a little love (oh, little love)
Heaven knows what we could change, oh yeah
So throw a pebble in the water (oh yeah)
Make a wave, make a wave
Make a wave, make a wave

The single choice to take a stand
And reach out your hand to someone in need (help somebody)
Don’t fool yourself and say you can’t
You never know what can grow (let it grow)
From just one seed (yeah)

So come with me and seize the day
This world may never be the same

Just a pebble in the water
(Just a pebble in the water)
Can set the sea in motion
(Set the sea in motion)
A simple act of kindness (ohh)
Can stir the widest ocean
(Stir the widest ocean)
If we show a little love
(If we show a little love)
Heaven knows that we could change
(Heaven knows that we can change)
So throw a pebble in the water
(Throw a pebble in the water)
Make a wave, make a wave

Make a wave, make a wave (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Make a wave, make a wave)
Make a wave, make a wave (make)
(Show a little love and make a wave, seize the day)
Make a wave, make a wave
(Heaven knows what we could change)

So let’s show a little love
You never know what we could change
So throw a pebble in the water
Make a wave, make a wave
