Gutenberg! the Musical - Second Prologue Lyrics


The song is written by Scott Brown and Anthony King.

BUD: (spoken)
Second prologue

The streets of Schlimmer

DOUG: (spoken)
It is very early in the morning
So early, the dirt streets are still covered
With yesterday’s vegetables
The stage is filled with doom
Also... fog
Boot Plaque and Daughter meet on the street

BUD: (as Daughter)
Boot Plaque

DOUG: (as Boot Plaque)
Daughter

BUD: (as Daughter)
Had a bad dream last night

DOUG (as Boot Plaque): (spoken)
I know!

BUD: (as Daughter)
There were pigs

DOUG: (as Boot Plaque)
Were they scary?

BUD: (as Daughter)
Yes sir
Very scary

DOUG: (as Boot Plaque)
I had that dream too

BUD: (as Daughter)
Spits of meat

DOUG: (as Boot Plaque)
They were turning

BUD: (as Daughter)
Overdone and burning

BOTH: (as Daughter and Boot Plaque)
Like symbols in dreams!

DOUG (as Boot Plaque) & BUD: (as Daughter)
Turning, burning, turning
Symbols
Turning, burning, turning
Symbols
Turning, burning, turning
Symbols
Turning, burning, turning
Symbols

Black cats!
Then with ladders
Thirteen mirrors shattered
By a warlock
By a warlock

Scary!
Spooky, spooky, spooky
Scary!
Spooky, spooky, spooky
Scary!
Spooky, spooky, spooky
Scary!
Spooky, spooky, spooky

Scary things
Very tragic
Dreams like this are always...
Magic!
What does it mean?
What does it mean?

BUD: (spoken)
Now that... was a nightmare

DOUG: (spoken)
People like me and Bud call a scene
like that “foreshadowing”

BUD: (spoken)
But Doug, what is “foreshadowing”?

DOUG: (spoken)
Well, I’ll tell you...
Later

Hit it!
