The Pitch Songtext

So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
Elephants, Bohemians
Indians and courtesans
Acrobats and juggling bears
Exotic girls, fire-eaters
Musclemen, contortionists
Intrigue, danger and romance
Electric lights, machinery
All run with electricity
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
Spectacular, spectacular!
No words in the vernacular
Can describe this great event
You'll be dumb with wonderment
[The hills are alive with the sound of music...] So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years

The courtesan and sitar man
Are pulled apart by an evil plan

But in the end she hears his song

And their love is just too strong

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside...hmmm

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years

The sitar player's secret song
Helps them flee the evil one
Though the tyrant rants and rails
It is all to no avail

I am the evil maharajah - you will not escape!
Oh Harold, no one could play him like you could.
No one's going to.

So exciting, it will make you laugh and make you cry
So delighting...

And in the end should someone die?


So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years

Generally, I like it.
Cheers!
