Gutenberg! the Musical - Stop The Press Lyrics
The song is written by Scott Brown and Anthony King.
BUD (as Monk): (spoken)
Poor, poor Helvetica!
(singing)
You’ve made wine
Probably ‘bout a million times
You dumb German wench
You fool
He’s gone
What is that you’re stompin’ on?
Let me take a guess
There’s grape juice on your dress
Isn’t it time to stop the press?
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
You mean... destroy his printing press?
BUD (as Monk): (spoken)
That’s right, Helvetica!
The only thing standing
between you and Gutenberg
Is that there printing press!
(singing)
Stop the press!
You gotta stop the press
Or the press will stop you!
Stop the press!
You can get him back
If you give it a chop!
You stomped his grapes for wine
Now stomp for Monk this time!
It’s time to stop the-
DOUG (as Helvetica):
Please don’t shout!
I’m in this bucket; I’ll get out
If I smash his press
He’ll cry
And I...
BUD (as Monk):
..will be right there to dry his eyes
DOUG (as Helvetica):
I’ll feel his caress!
BUD (as Monk): (spoken)
Yes!
DOUG (as Helvetica):
Right here on my breasts!
BUD (as Monk): (spoken)
There ya go!
DOUG: (as Helvetica)
Maybe it’s time to stop the press!
BUD: (as Monk)
Stop the press!
You can stop the press
With a simple pencil!
Stop the press!
DOUG: (as Helvetica)
I know I’m gonna do it
But I’m feeling tense
Will Gutenberg be mad?
BUD (as Monk): (spoken)
No!
DOUG (as Helvetica):
Will Gutenberg be glad?
BUD (as Monk): (spoken)
Yes!
DOUG: (as Helvetica):
I’ve got to stop the...
BUD: (as Monk)
...press!
Stop the press!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
Okay, I’ll do it!
BUD: (as Monk)
Stop the press!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
I know I can!
BUD: (as Monk)
Yeah, Stop the Press!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
Please don’t rush me!
BUD: (as Monk)
Stop the press!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
I love my man!
BUD: (as Monk)
Use that pencil!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
Stop the press...
BUD: (as Monk)
You’ll be together!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
Stop the press!
BUD: (as Monk)
You’ll have a baby!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
Stop the press!
BUD: (as Monk)
Johan Jr!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
Stop the press!
BUD (as Monk):
You’ve got to stop the...
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
I love you Gutenberg!
BUD (as Monk):
You’ve got to stop the...
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
This is for our future!
BUD: (as Monk)
You’ve got to stop the press!
DOUG (as Helvetica): (spoken)
I’ve destroyed it!
What have I done?!
BUD (as Monk): (spoken)
My bidding!
