The whole being dead thing: Sung by Beetlejuice. Hey Folks! begging your pardon! Scuse me! Sorry to barge in! Let’s skip the tears and start on the whole, ya know, “being dead’ thing. You’re doomed! Enjoy the singing. The sword of Damocles is swinging. And if I hear your cell phone ringing, I’ll kill you myself, The whole being dead thing! Death can get a person stressed. We should have carped way more diems. Now we’re never gonna seem em. I can show you what comes next so don’t be freaked. Stay in your seats. We’ve been rehearsing this nonsense for weeks. So just relax you’ll be fine, there’s no refund! read the sign! So take a breath. Welcome to the show about death!
Ready, set, not yet: Sung by Adam (wait 1X8 + 6 counts) Look at this crib,I know to the untrained eye, it’s boring, but nothings a chore when you’re restoring apart from frustration, pain and financial drain! It’s fun! Folks say Adam, why do you polish a crib when you don’t have a kid and even if you did have a kid, this crib is too precious for placing a baby inside it so it simply exists to remind you your sense of perfection is just a reflection that you are not mentally prepared to make a room for a kid Adam? Why don’t you live Adam? Just make a start! Are you willing take the next step? Ready set! Ready set!
Dead Mom: Sung by Lydia ( spoken.. “I’m alone. I am utterly alone. Except for you, Dead Mom!” ) Hey mom, Dead mom, I need a little help here. I’m probably talking to myself here, but dead mom, I got an ask! Are you really in the ground? Cause I feel you all around me? Are you here dead mom? Dead mom! “ This is the oldest house I’ve ever seen. You would have loved it.. Dead Mom!
No Reason: Sung by Delia ( wait 2X 8) The universe, Is more than just space with no end. Just think of the universe as a female best friend. And you can be like,"Hey, Universe, what's happening girl?" And she'll be like, "Oh, nothing, just running the world". And you'll be like, "What?", And the universe will be like, "I know!" You're on the right track, girl, I got your back girl. I'm helping you grow. Think positive. Act positive. You are a child of the Earth! Life-coaching!. Nailing it! Everything, everything happens for a reason. Be a beacon of light in the world. Put a little "alright" in the world. There are spiritual, guides above, look up. And see 'em!. Perception is reality. Just listen to the melody the universe sings. 'Cause everything, everything happens for a reason.
Say my name: Sung by Beetlejuice. “ Hey I get it! We’re not that different. You don’t look like your dad! I don’t look like my mom.She is a DEMON! Point is maybe we can help each other.” You could use a buddyDon’t you want a pal? ( yes I do, yes I do) Girl the way I see it, your daddy should be leaving and you should stick around ( and leave him) Nothin! So Lydia, don’t end yourself, defend yourself. Daddy is the one you should maim. Together we’ll exterminate,assasinate. The finer points can wait, but first you gotta say my name!
Day-O ( The banana boat song): Sung by Chorus. Day-O,” What’s wrong Delia, are you alright? I’m so sorry, I don’t know what just happened, I meant to say: me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day-o. Delia do you need to lie down? No I just need to..Daylight come and me wanna go home. What’s happening to me? Maxie on behalf of Delia and myself,I’d just like to say. Work all night on a drink of rum! Daylight come and me wanna go home! Stack banana till the morning come! Bracka! Daylight come and me wanna go home. Day, me say day-o. Daylight come and me wanna go home!
Girl Scout: sung by Lydia. This is it. The day I've been waiting for. Wishing, hoping, working, and praying for. The day my, parents have been delaying for years. Ooh, I'm gonna sell some cookies.It's not their fault that they're overprotective, I was born with arrhythmia. My heart is defective. Only takes one shock and I could be dead from the fear, Still, I'm gonna sell some cookies. Hike by hike. Song by song. The Girl Scouts helped my heart grow strong. They'd have my back if anything went wrong with me
That Beautiful sound: Sung by Beetlejuice & Lydia. Do you hear that sound?. That beautiful sound?. That is the sound, of clean, white, shorts turning brown. Torture and pain. Breaking a brain . A sound that says
I will never sleep well again.The sound of a scream, is music to me. A sound that says fifteen years full-time therapy. Trauma and fear, it sings in my ear. Ain't it the sweetest noise around, that beautiful sound?
What I know now: Sung by Miss Argentina. “Everyone here would go back if they could.Uch! I wish I was still alive!” I was hot. I went to parties a lot. An unhappy beauty queen, Who dreamed to be Miss Argentina, I had such low self-esteem I kid you not . So I gave it all up for the netherworld, I've been here forever. If I was more clever. I would've stuck it out, Knowing what life's about. If I knew then. What I know now. I would have looked within and let love win somehow. If I only knew. The truth back then. I wouldn't have had my little accident!
Jump in line: Sung by Lydia and cast. “ Hey, Your mother loved this song! Care to dance? I’d love to Shake, shake, shake, Señora. Shake your body line. Shake, shake, shake, Señora. Shake it all the time. Work, work, work, Señora. Work your body line. Work, work, work, Señora. Work it all the time. Mama if you're listening. Doesn't this just blow your mind
(Shake, shake, shake, shake Señora) (Shake, shake, shake, shake Señora). I was on a mission
This is what I left behind. (Shake, shake, shake, shake Señora) (Shake, shake, shake, shake Señora) I'll miss you every day, I Seek a little strange and unusual, And you will find, Life, beyond all comprehension. A mess in multiple dimensions. A little unconventional, I know. Mama, I'm home!
