[Stephen Sondheim, Roger Bart, Nathan Lane - We're Off on a Great Mission lyrics]
Xanthias, it is time to start our journey
We are off on a great mission
Where?
I, Dionysos, god of drama
Am going to travel to the
Underworld and bring back a
Great writer who can speak to the problems
Of our society and give us comfort
Wit and wisdom and also
Challenge our complacencies
Who are you gonna bring back?
Shaw
Oh who?
George Bernard Shaw
The one who wrote the plays?
Yes, the one who wrote the
Plays and what glorious plays!
I can't think of any at the moment
I know them all
Did he write "The Rape of
The Sabine Women"? I
Liked that - it had a lot of pictures
No, he did not it's time to stop flapping
Your lips and start moving your feet walk!
We are off on a great mission
Where?
I, Dionysos, god of drama
Am going to travel to the
Underworld and bring back a
Great writer who can speak to the problems
Of our society and give us comfort
Wit and wisdom and also
Challenge our complacencies
Who are you gonna bring back?
Shaw
Oh who?
George Bernard Shaw
The one who wrote the plays?
Yes, the one who wrote the
Plays and what glorious plays!
I can't think of any at the moment
I know them all
Did he write "The Rape of
The Sabine Women"? I
Liked that - it had a lot of pictures
No, he did not it's time to stop flapping
Your lips and start moving your feet walk!
