But Alive Lyrics

[MARGO]
I feel groggy and weary and tragic
Punchy and bleary and fresh out of magic
But alive, but alive, but alive!

I feel twitchy and bitchy and manic
Calm and collected and choking with panic
But alive, but alive, but alive!

I’m a thousand different people
Every single one is real
I’ve a million different feelings
OK, but at least I feel!

And I feel rotten, yet covered with roses
Younger than springtime and older than Moses
Frisky as a lamb...

[DUANE]
Ah la la

[MARGO]
Lazy as a clam...

[DUANE]
Ah la la

[MARGO]
Crazy, but I am
Alive

[FEMALE ENSEMBLE]
She's here!
Oh god, ah la la la la
She's here!
Ah la la la la la
Ow! Ow!
La la la la la
Eek eek eek ow!
Ow! Ow!

[MARGO]
And I feel wicked and wacky and mellow
Firm as Gibraltar and shaky as Jello
But alive, but alive, but alive!

I feel half Tijuana, half Boston
Partly Jane Fonda and partly Jane Austen
But alive, that’s the thing! But alive!

This kaleidoscope of feelings
Whirls around inside my brain
I admit I’m slightly cuckoo
But it’s dull to be too sane!

And I feel brilliant and brash and bombastic
Limp as a puppet and simply fantastic
But alive, but alive, but alive!

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
She's here!
My dear, can you believe it?
She's here!
Oh god, I can't believe it!
She's here
And just to prove we do believe
Woo!

[Dance Break]

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Ah la la la la la la la la
Ah la la la la la la la la
Ah la la la la la la la

This kaleidoscope of feelings
Whirls around inside my brain
I admit I’m slightly cuckoo
But it’s dull to be too sane!

[MARGO]
And I feel brilliant!
Bombastic!
Super!
Fantastic!
Alive!

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Margo!

[MARGO]
Alive!

[MALE ENSEMBLE]
Margo!

[ALL]
Alive!

[Dance Break]

[ENSEMBLE]
Margo!
