According to Plan Part 1

MRS. VAN DORT: It’s a beautiful day MR. VAN DORT: It’s a rather nice day MRS. VAN DORT: A day for a glorious wedding MR. VAN DORT: A rehearsal my dear to be perfectly clear

MRS. VAN DORT: A rehearsal for a glorious wedding MR. VAN DORT: Assuming nothing happens

that we don’t really know

MRS. VAN DORT: That nothing unexpected

interferes with the show

BOTH TOGETHER: And that’s why everything,

every last little thing

Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go

MRS. VAN DORT: According to plan

MR. VAN DORT: Our son will be married MRS. VAN DORT: According to plan

MR. VAN DORT: Our family carried

BOTH TOGETHER: Elevated to the heights of society MRS. VAN DORT: To the costume balls

MR. VAN DORT: In the hallowed halls MRS. VAN DORT: Rubbing elbows with the finest

MR. VAN DORT: Having crumpets

with her highness

BOTH TOGETHER: We’ll be there we’ll be seen

having tea with the queen We’ll forget everything that

we’ve ever ever been

According to Plan Part 2

MRS. EVERGLOT: It’s a terrible day MR. EVERGLOT: Now don’t be

that way

MRS. EVERGLOT: It’s a terrible

day for a wedding

MR. EVERGLOT : It’s a sad

sad state of affairs we’re in

MRS. EVERGLOT: That has led

to this ominous wedding

MR. EVERGLOT: How could our

family have come to this?

BOTH TOGETHER: To marry off our

daughter to the nouveau-riche

(4)

MRS. EVERGLOT: They’re

so common

MR. EVERGLOT: So coarse

MRS. EVERGLOT: Oh it couldn’t be worse

MR. EVERGLOT: Couldn’t be worse? I’m afraid I disagree

They could be land rich bankrupt aristocracy Without a penny to their name

Just like you and me

MRS. EVERGLOT: Oh dear

BOTH TOGETHER: And that’s why everything,

every last little thing

Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go

MRS. EVERGLOT: According to plan MR. EVERGLOT: Our daughter will wed

MRS. EVERGLOT: According to plan MR. EVERGLOT: Our family led

BOTH TOGETHER: From the depths of deepest poverty MRS. EVERGLOT: To the noble realm

MR. EVERGLOT: Of our ancestry

BOTH TOGETHER: And who would have guessed

in a million years

That our daughter with a face

MR. EVERGLOT: Of an otter in disgrace BOTH TOGETHER: Would provide our ticket

to our rightful place

According to Plan Part 3

MRS. EVERGLOT: Marriage is a partnership, a little tit for tat

You’d think a lifetime watching us Might have taught her that Might have taught her that

MR. EVERGLOT: Everything must be perfect MRS. EVERGLOT: Everything must be perfect

MR. EVERGLOT: Everything must be BOTH TOGETHER: Perfect, perfect

EVERYONE: That’s why everything, every last little thing

Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go According to plan

BONE JANGLES: Hey, give me a listen, you corpses of cheer

At least those of you, who still got an ear I’ll tell you a story, make a skeleton cry Of our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride

EVERYBODY: Die die we all pass away

But don’t wear a frown ‘cause it’s really OK

You might try and hide and you might try and pray But we all end up the remains of the day

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

BONE JANGLES:

Well, our girl was a beauty known for miles around

When a mysterious stranger came into town He was plenty good look-ing, but down on his cash And our poor little baby she fell hard and fast

When her daddy said “no,” she just couldn’t cope So our lovers came up with a plan to elope

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

–- Instrumental break –

BONE JANGLES: Yeah, so they

con-jured up a plan to meet late at night They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight

(6)

BONE JANGLES (cont.):

Now her mother’s wedding dress fit like a glove You don’t need much when you’re really in love Except for a few things, or so I’m told

Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three She was ready to go but where was he?

GROUP: And then?

BONE JANGLES: She waited GROUP: And then?

BONE JANGLES: There in the shadows, was it her man? GROUP: And then?

BONE JANGLES: Her little heart little heart beat so loud GROUP: And then?

BONE JANGLES: And then baby, everything went black

Now when she opened her eyes, she was dead as dust

Her jewels were missing and her heart was bust So she made a vow lying under that tree

That she’d wait for her true love to come set her free Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand When out of the blue comes this groovy young man Who vows forever to be by her side

And that’s the story of our Corpse Bride

BONE JANGLES: Yeah

MAGGOT: What does that wispy little brat

have that you don’t have double?

SPIDER: She can’t hold a candle to

the beauty of your smile

CORPSE BRIDE: How about a pulse? MAGGOT: Over rated by a mile

SPIDER: Over valued MAGGOT: Over blown

SPIDER & MAGGOT: If he only knew the you

that we know

SPIDER: And that silly little creature

isn’t wearing his ring

MAGGOT: And she doesn’t play piano SPIDER & MAGGOT: Or dance or sing.

No she doesn’t compare

CORPSE BRIDE: But she still breathes air SPIDER & MAGGOT: Who cares?

MAGGOT: Unimportant SPIDER: Over rated MAGGOT: Over blown

SPIDER & MAGGOT: If only he could see

how special you can be.

If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE: If I touch a burning candle

I can feel no pain

If you cut me with a knife it’s still the same

(8)

CORPSE BRIDE (cont.):

And I know her heart is beating And I know that I am dead Yet the pain here that I feel Try and tell me it’s not real And it seems that I still have

a tear to shed

MAGGOT: The sole redeeming feature

from that little creature is that she’s Alive

SPIDER: Over rated MAGGOT: Over blown SPIDER: Everybody knows that’s

just a temporary state Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate

MAGGOT: Who cares?

SPIDER: Unimportant MAGGOT: Over rated SPIDER: Over blown

SPIDER & MAGGOT: If only he could see

how special you can be.

If he only knew the you that we know

CORPSE BRIDE: If I touch a burning

candle I can feel no pain

In the ice or in the sun it’s all the same Yet I feel my heart is aching

Though it doesn’t beat it’s breaking And the pain here that I feel

Try and tell me it’s not real I know that I am dead

Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed
