The Witches of Eastwick the Musical - The Glory Of Me Lyrics
The song is written by Dana P. Rowe and John Dempsey.
DARRYL (spoken):
My god. Look at me. No, really; look at me.
I’m a goddamned saint.
Underappreciated in that larger world,
Mayhaps, but big fucking deal.
If it takes another generation or two,
So be it. I am a very patient man.
DARRYL:
Who's got this town in hand?
ED (spoken): That would be you, mr. Van horne.
DARRYL:
Who's striking up the band?
GINA / GRETA (spoken): Oh, darryl!
DARRYL:
Ask all of eastwick, and
+ SMALL GROUP:
They'll agree.
DARRYL:
Let the story be told
Of the glory of me.
Who's headin' off the scale?
RAYMOND (spoken): He is such a man.
DARRYL:
The quintessential male.
MARGE (spoken): Hell, I'd sleep with him.
DARRYL:
Come on, and tell the tale.
