The Great Gatsby the Musical - Roaring On Lyrics
The song is written by Jason Howland and Nathan Tysen.
JAY:
Well I don't know 'bout you...
But I'm done with the Spanish Flu
It's 1922, come on out of your cloister
The great war has been won
The bacchanalia Has begun
Its New York City son,
And the world's your oyster
Its at your fingertips
WOLFSHEIM:
Your name on everybodys lips
JAY:
Cashing all your chips to build a reputation
JAY & WOLFSHEIM:
The time is opportune
Each night we're shooting for the moon
JAY:
Pretty soon the world will want an invitation
ENSEMBLE:
Where's the party and can you take me there?
And when the party's over
Can you find another party somewhere?
We live for today
We pay off the cops!
And today is never over if the party never stops
Where's the party and can you take me there?
And when the party's over
Can you find another party somewhere?
We live for today
We pay off the cops!
And when you think the party stops-
The party's roaring on!
The party's roaring on!
And we'll beat on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
MALE ENSEMBLE:
A rumor's going 'round
About a mansion on the sound
FEMALE ENSEMBLE 1:
It's New York City
FEMALE ENSEMBLE 2:
He opens up his place,
Then disappears without a trace!
ENSEMBLE:
His parties are the pace (????) going faster!
Where's the party and can you take me there?
And when the party's over
Can you find another party somewhere?
We live for today
We pay off the cops!
And when you think the party stops-
The party's roaring on!
The party's roaring on!
And we'll beat on and on and on
And on and on and on and on!
NICK:
I heard the voices on the Vanderbilt parkway!
A yellow rolls Royce is parked on the driveway
I got a hot tip on place with decent rent
But somehow I feel that this is not the apartment...
ENSEMBLE:
Oh oh oh ohhhhh
NICK:
Looks like a castle in Normandy,
Acres of garden stretched to the sea!
Who could afford this type of Luxury?
And could that person ever be me?
ENSEMBLE:
Where's the party and can you take me there?
And when the party's over
Can you find another party somewhere?
JAY:
Today we turn back
Tomorrow it's on
You stay on the attack
That's when the (?????)
ENSEMBLE:
Where's the party and can you take me there?
JAY:
You pull out all the stops and
So strike up the band!
And light up the show!
And want to give them more!
ENSEMBLE:
Whoo!
The party's roaring on!
The party's roaring on!
And we'll beat on and on and on
And on and on and on and on!
JAY:
The party's roaring on!
The party's roaring- roaring on!
JAY & ENSEMBLE:
And we'll beat on and on and on and on
JAY:
And on!
ENSEMBLE:
And on!
JAY:
And on!
ENSEMBLE:
And on!
JAY:
An on!

Roaring On
Sophisticated
My Share of the Heavens
For Her
Valley of Ashes
For Better or Worse
Only Tea
My Green Light
Better Hold Tight
Past Is Catching Up to Me
Go
Valley of Ashes (reprise)
For Better or Worse (reprise)
For Her (reprise)
Beautiful Little Fool
Finale Roaring On
