歌詞

Lita:
If I want to see theatre I see a play
With no singing and dancing to get in the way
Theatre is language and that should be all
Music belongs to the Carnegie Hall
Not a reason on Earth as far as I know
To write, mount and open a musical show...

The story is moving chock full of suspense
The plot takes a twist and the mood is intense
Then someone sings a song like this!
It doesn't make sense
Puh-leeze

I hate musicals!
I hate the new shows, they're nothing but sets
I miss the Von Trapp kids the
Sharks and the Jets
Unplug those keyboards give me real clarinets
Miss Otis says with no regrets

I hate musicals
There doesn't seem to be a shred of anything new
The hottest shows were all composed by late '62
Now if you want to create a sensation
Use a Hollywood star and amplification
And whether the show is a hit or a flop
They sell T-shirts and caps with their logo on top

So even though you hate the show
At least you can shop
At a musical
I hate the genre
It's all second rate
When forced to see this dreck I always come late
From overture to curtain call it all turns me off
I sit there and cough the whole night long

'Cause I hate musicals
But not as much I hate this song!

How I hated Phantom down to each candelabra
I took the book along and read through Les Misera-bleh
When it comes to subtlety the
Brits fall a hair short
If I want helicopters I'll go to the airport

So keep your chorus lines of Gypsys and Mames
I'd rather see a flick or bowl a few frames
No matter who is satarring I'm never enticed
It's way over-priced and I won't pay
I hate musical but I fear they're here to stay

Yes, I hate musicals
But not as much I hate ballet!
