A cut song from Little Shop of Horrors originally written to be played as exit music. It references the fact that the Urchins are named after three 1960s girl groups: The Crystals, The Ronnettes, and The Chiffons.
[CRYSTAL]
Where did the girls go?
[RONNETTE]
Where are they now?
[CHIFFON]
I'm gonna find them
[ALL]
Someway, somehow
[CHIFFON, (CRYSTAL & RONNETTE), ALL]
I wanna know (I wanna)
I wanna know (I wanna, wanna know)
Was it really so long ago? (It's so long ago)
Has it really disappeared, is it gone? (Is it gone?)
How come I feel it rolling on and on?
I wanna know (I wanna)
Won't somebody say (Why won't somebody say?)
How could it be a part of yesterday? (Could it be yesterday?)
How could the magic disappear and be gone?
[CRYSTAL]
Like Crystal
[RONNETTE]
Ronnette
[CHIFFON]
And Chiffon
[ALL]
I hear the music and it sounds so great
Could it be that I was born too late?
Cause I can feel it, feel it all around
It's like I'm living in a wall of sound
[CHIFFON, (CRYSTAL & RONNETTE), ALL]
I wanna know (I wanna)
I wanna know (I wanna, wanna know)
Am I just living in the afterglow? (Is it just afterglow?)
I hear their songs and see them standing there (Standing there)
I guess it's crazy, hey, but I don't care!
I wanna know (I wanna)
I wanna know (I wanna, wanna know)
Must be a reason why I love them so (Oh, I love them so)
It's like a rainbow that I'm riding on
[CRYSTAL]
With Crystal
[RONNETTE]
Ronnette
[CHIFFON]
And Chiffon
[CRYSTAL]
Where did the girls go?
[RONNETTE]
Where did they run?
[CHIFFON]
I wanna tell them
[ALL]
They're still, they're still number one
I wanna know
How can I travel back to long ago?
Back to the place I know it all comes from
[CRYSTAL]
To Crystal
[RONNETTE]
Ronnette
[CHIFFON]
And Chiffon
[ALL]
Where did the girls go?
