I Want to be Number Three

From "The Two Musketeers"



All my life, how I've yearned for adventure, to do something that's meaningful, too

Sick of spending my time in the palace all alone and with nothing to do

How I wish I were part of a trio, to be third is my dreamiest dream

I would do anything that you ask me to be part of the musketeer team

Number three, number three, it's the number for me, it's the number to be

Number three, number three, it's the third slot for me, I wanna be number three!


Do you think maybe you could include me? Can't you see all the hope in my eyes?

I'm begging you, please don't exclude me, I want so to be one of you guys

Number three, number three, it's the number for me, I'm sure that you'll agree

Number three, number three, we'd be you, you and me, I want to be number three!

We can tell that you really do mean what you sing but a third musketeer just isn't our thing

Number three, number three, you must let me be


We're sorry, but it cannot be!

Number three, number three, I'm you're third, don't you see? I wanna be...

But you cannot be!

I want to be number three!

But you cannot be!

I want to be number three!


But you cannot be!

I want to be number three!

But you cannot be!

I want to be number three!









In the Name of the Empress

From "The Two Musketeers"



We're guards of her lady, the Empress, the powerful Empress of France

We love our careers locking up musketeers, all in the name of the Empress!

We both do our jobs with precision and blind dedication to rules

What we like to say best is "You're under arrest!", all in the name of the Empress!

In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress! What else can be left to discuss?

In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!


It gives life some purpose and meaning for us

We say "Arret!", that means "Halt!", we say "Halt!", that means "Stop!"

We say "Stop!" and we know that that's clear, you can run

No, we can't

You can hide

What, in here?


But we'll get you, my dear musketeers

In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!

It's like being police for a queen

In the name of the Empress, the Empress, the Empress!

It gives you a reason for just being mean!

All in the name of the Empress!


All in the name of the Empress! All in the name of the Empress!

When we’re standing here together.

And I’m holding hands with you.

There’s really nothing to it.

All:

Hold my hand!

The Secret of Snow

From "The Secret of Snow"


 
The secret of snow, the secret of snow, the secret is something I wanted to know

But all of us are playing together

We’re going to be happy, whatever the weather

The sun could be shining


A blizzard could blow

When you’ve got friends, you don’t care about snow

The secret of snow...

Secret of snow...

The secret of snow...

The rest: Secret of snow...


We already know...

Already know...

The secret of snow

Try not to care if it’s snowing, try not to care if it’s not

Better to care for the people right there, care for those great friends you’ve got!

I still like snow, still wish it would fall


But it seems there’s no secret, no secret at all!

I’ll smile at the snowflakes, or sunny blue skies,

I’ll smile cause of you, cause of all you guys!

It’s you guys who give me that wintery glow

When you’ve got good friends, who cares about snow?

The secret of snow...


Secret of snow...

The secret of snow...

Secret of snow...

So now we all know...

Now we all know...

The secret of snow...


Secret of snow...

The secret of snow...

The secret of snow...











I Love Snow

From "Secret Of Snow"


(tune: Jingle Bells)

 
I love snow, I love snow, falling from the sky

Love to see a blizzard piling white stuff very high


Oh, I love snow, I love snow, nothing's quite as nice

Snow forts, snowmen, snow angels and snow cats and snow mice

One thing that I’d love, one thing I'd like to know

What’s the secret recipe for starting up the snow, snow, snow, snow!

Not sure how it’s done, on that I’m not quite clear

But if I could just find out how, I’d make it snow all year!


Oh, I love snow, I love snow, piled up cold and sweet

Get that snowplow started up and roaring down the street

Oh, I love snow, I love snow, why can’t it snow now?!

Sure would love to make it snow, I just don’t quite know how!




You’ll Love Snow [Duet]
Come on, cowboy guy, join me on my quest
Heading north sounds good, I’m tired of the west, hey, hey, hey!
It’s a long, long way, but if we move real fast
I’ll get to make a snowman and I’ll eat snowcones at last!
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow, it’s the best of all
Come with me and we’ll head north and get that snow to fall
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow...

You’ll Love Snow [Trio]
Come on, jungle dude, join us on our trip
Jungle life’s too hot, the snow sounds pretty hip, hip, hip, hip!
We’ve got far to go, but if we really run
We can do some sledding and catch snowflakes on our tongue!
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow
Nothing’s quite as great
Let’s go way up north and then make it precipitate
Oh, you’ll love snow, you’ll love snow...

The Masked Retriever

From "The Masked Retriever"



I am a great librarian, I'm full of information

I know every book on every shelf and every stack

They're here for you to borrow, so come on in and take 'em

But you better keep track...of when it's time to bring them back

'Cause sometimes I become The Masked Retriever!

Hunting down books that are missing, lost or late


The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

I find them even if they're hiding in another state!

People think librarians are glamorous and stylish

We always look so elegant, we aim to please

Yes, of course, that's true, but it's not the whole story

'Cause I have a secret side...a side that no one ever sees


Yes, sometimes I become The Masked Retriever!

Hunting down borrowers whose books are overdue

The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

So, don't forget your due date, or I'm coming after you!

That's when I become The Masked Retriever!

Someone's got to do it and that somebody is me


The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

The bravest, boldest hero that you'll probably ever see

The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

The bravest, boldest hero that you'll probably ever see!


The Masked Retriever [Interlude]


For no one can outrun The Masked Retriever!

I'll stay in hot pursuit on my speedy, trusty horse

To Mexico!

The Masked Retriever! I am The Masked Retriever!

No one can outrun me, including you, of course!
