Listen Up

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
Since I was a lassy
Just a sweet young thing
All I truly longed to do was make up songs to sing

Sure, my voice was rotten
And had a pitchy twang
But I had dreams and in my dreams, this is what I sang

Listen up
All you goons
Listen up and hear my tunes
Every line poisons minds
So listen up

[RAPUNZEL]
(spoken)
Catchy!

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
(sung)
How I yearned to sing it
Still, I was afraid
Guess I feared they'd call me weird and mock the songs I made

So I shut my piehole
And hid my work away

[RAPUNZEL]
But you had dreams

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
And in my dreams, this is what I'd play

Listen up
If you please
Listen to my melodies

[RAPUNZEL]
Folks, she wrote every note

[RUTHLESS RUTH & RAPUNZEL]
So listen up!

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
I kept my song a secret
But carved it on this pub
Waiting 'til the perfect moment came

At last, I worked the nerve up
And stood before the pub
I let one note come through my throat
And then I died of shame!

[BIG NOSE]
Died?

[ATTILA]
Died?

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
Dead!

And now I haunt this tavern
Suffering for my art
Years and years of doubts and fears

[RAPUNZEL]
It's time to heed your heart

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
I can end this curse now
If I can end this song

[VLADIMIR]
Like in your dreams

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
But in my dreams, you all must sing along

Listen up
All you thugs
Lift your voices
And your mugs
Don't be shy
Let it fly

[THUGS]
Listen up

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
Haha, that's it!

[BIG NOSE]
Listen up

[ATTILA]
Listen here

[HOOK FOOT]
Raise the roof

[SHORTY]
And rock the house!

[RUTHLESS RUTH & THUGS]
Make it loud
Sing it proud
Listen...

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
(spoken)
Wait!

[RAPUNZEL]
What's wrong?

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
Him...

[RAPUNZEL]
Come on, everyone needs to sing!

[CAPTAIN]
I-I haven't sung in quite some time. What if I'm rusty?

[SHORTY]
Your name's not Rusty! It's Captain! And I'm Susan

[RAPUNZEL]
Captain, please! It's almost midnight, we have to free Ruth!

[CAPTAIN]
(sung)
Listen up
Listen close
You're disgusting, old, and gross
But your song is quite strong

[EVERYONE]
Listen up

Listen up
Listen up
Everybody raise your cup
Here's to Ruth
That's the truth
Listen up

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
Listen up

[EVERYONE]
Listen up

[RUTHLESS RUTH]
Listen up

[EVERYONE]
Listen up
Yeah!

[RAPUNZEL]
(spoken)
Hahaha, that was great!
