The Robber Bridegroom - The Pricklepear Bloom Lyrics

2016 Off-Broadway production
The Robber Bridegroom the Musical - The Pricklepear Bloom Lyrics

I BEAR A BITTER TRUTH
MY BOSOM DROOPS WITH GLOOM
THE WORLD PREFERS THE LILYBUD
TO THE PRICKLEPEAR BLOOM

Oh Daddy - can I try on my dress - oh baby, of course,
I've been looking for that sight all the way from New Orleans.

TRAGEDY OF. MY YOUTH
WHILE SEEKINI OUT MY GROOM
THE WORLD PREFERRED THE LILYBUD
TO THE PRICKLEPEAR BLOOM

FAIR PRICKLEPEAR
SELDOM SEEN
RARE RADIANT SPIKEY QUEEN
THY GLORIOUS NAME IS MUD
FOR THE WORLD PREFERS THE LILYBUD

Look what I brought you,
Salome - a soup ladle, some sewing
needles and a feather duster.

I WEAR MY FINEST DRESS
AND GLIDE ACROSS THE ROOM
BUT MEN PREFER THE LILYBUD
TO THE PRICKLEPEAR BLOOM

SHE WEARS SOME TACKY MESS
AND MOPES AROUND LIKE DOOM
AND THEY STILL PREFER THE LILYBUD TO THE
PRICKLEPEAR BLOOM

FAIR PRICKLEPEAR
FLOWER GEM
RARE BEAUTY FROM SMELL TO STEM THY
PLEASURE WOULD COME UP RICH IF IT WASN'T
FOR THAT LILYBITCH

Maybe them panthers won't get her - but something will.
THAT'S WHY I GET NO REST I
CONJURE DAY AND NIGHT
I DREAM OF SOMETHIN GLORIOUS
LIKE A LILYBUD BLIGHT
WHEN LILYBUD IS PRESSED
INTO THE BOOK OF DOOM


THEY'LL FALL ON THEIR FACES TO PICK

THE PRICKLEPEAR BLOOM
