Side Show - Overnight Sensation Lyrics |
Broadway revival (2014) Side Show the Musical - Overnight Sensation Lyrics
Terry: Thank you, my friends From the fourth estate For coming tonight
Reporter: This better be good Because vaudeville is fading
Reporter: Our readers have more interest In pictures than talk
Reporter: Give the man a chance, guys He always comes through
Reporter: His stories are great And some of them are true
Terry: Have I ever lied to you?
All Reporters: Well, maybe not lied Exaggerated here and there
Terry: I'm giving you the chance to jump the gun And run this story in your publications Of these double duty sensations
Reporter: Double Duty?
Reporter: What the hell are they?
Terry: They are Daisy and Violet Hilton The most talented, lovely And charming of heroines Who happen to be Siamese twins
Reporter: Siamese twins?
Reporter: Terry, have you sunk so low?
Reporter: You need clients from the freak show
Terry: No, no, no! My clients will be An overnight sensation Wait till you see them on stage Wait till your doubt Turns into fascination Their story will leap off the page You'll engage In manic speculation About this overnight sensation
The reporters leave and the twins are in the middle of a photo shoot...
Buddy: Violet, don't be afraid of the camera Just relax
Violet: I don't know how
Buddy: Look into the camera Like you're looking in the eyes Of the one you love
Daisy: That shouldn't be too hard
Violet: Watch it, Daisy
Daisy: I love the camera I feel like a movie star What do you think, Terry? Could I be a goddess of the silver screen?
Terry: After tonight, the world's your oyster You're gonna be an overnight sensation I brought the press and their primed Talk of the town And then talk of the nation After the hurdles we've climbed We have timed This evening's presentation To make on overnight sensation
Buddy: And after your act tonight When your interview's through We've got a surprise A room with a view
Terry: To host our triumphant two The finest hotel
Buddy: It'll be swell Like you
Terry: You're gonna be an overnight
Buddy: Overnight
Buddy & Terry: You're gonna be an overnight sensation
Buddy: See you out there!
