“The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” is the opening number of the show sharing its name. The song introduces the audience to the story to come and the single important character trait of the main character: he doesn’t like musicals.
The song features the whole ensemble, except for Paul (Jon Matteson)...
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh, ooh
[MR. DAVIDSON & ENSEMBLE]
The greatest stories ever told (Ooh...)
Have a hero who must be bold (Ooh...)
They learn a sense of right and wrong (Ooh...)
And better learn the sense through song (Ooh...)
[CHARLOTTE & ENSEMBLE]
Musicals tell the impossible (impossible)
They evoke the philosophical, yeah!
[TED]
So tonight we’re gonna chronicle
A story so astronomical
[ALL]
The last remaining story to tell
[MR. DAVIDSON & ENSEMBLE]
The guy who didn’t like musicals (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em
I mean, what the fuck! (didn’t like, did not like, like-a-like 'em)
He's the guy who didn’t like musicals (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em
Yeah, what the fuck? (didn’t like, did not like, like-a-like 'em)
[BILL]
In the tiny town of Hatchetfield
Lived an awful grinch named Paul
[MELISSA]
Spends his day surfing the web
And not singing and dancing with us all
[ALL]
Should we kill him?
Should we kill him?
[EMMA]
Oh, he pines after a cute lil' barista
Isn’t that worth a show-stopping fiesta, yeah?
[PROFESSOR HIDGENS]
But for some damn reason
He won’t join our singing season
[MR. DAVIDSON, BILL & MELISSA]
What an ass!
[MR. DAVIDSON, BILL, MELISSA, CHARLOTTE & EMMA]
What a bitch!
[ALL]
What a cuck!
[MR. DAVIDSON & ENSEMBLE]
The guy who didn’t like musicals (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em
I mean, what the fuck! (didn’t like, did not like, like-a-like 'em)
He's the guy who didn’t like musicals, na-na-na-na-na-na-na (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na (didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em)
Didn’t like, did not like, like-a-like 'em
It’s the end of the world, Paul (end of the world)
If you don’t sing (if you don't sing)
[MELISSA & ENSEMBLE]
This is the bridge, Paul (this is the bridge)
Where we globalize everything
[PROFESSOR HIDGENS]
And the words will come to you
We swear we will teach you
[ALL]
What it means to love
What it means to obey, Paul!
[MR. DAVIDSON, spoken]
The apotheosis is upon us
[ALL, spoken]
Yay!
[MR. DAVIDSON & ENSEMBLE]
Did you hear the word?
What's the word?
[MR. DAVIDSON & CHARLOTTE]
He’s a-comin'
[ENSEMBLE]
Who’s a-comin'?
[MR. DAVIDSON & CHARLOTTE]
Paul’s a-comin'
[ENSEMBLE]
Paul’s a-comin'?
[ALL]
The star of the show
[TED]
Now for his headlining entrance
[EMMA & CHARLOTTE]
Time to swoon at his leading man essence
[BILL & PROFESSOR HIDGENS]
His name is in the title
[MR. DAVIDSON & MELISSA]
He’s destined to go viral
Here he is, his name is Paul
[ALL]
Enter now!
[MR. DAVIDSON, spoken]
Where the fuck is he?
[BILL, spoken]
I have no fucking clue
[MR. DAVIDSON, WOMEN, PROFESSOR HIDGENS & MEN]

Yeah, yeah, yeah! (gotta believe in something, Paul, gotta believe in stupid Paul)
Didn’t like, didn’t like, didn't like-a-like 'em
