Il Colosso Lyrics

ACT I

Chorus:

No! To Tyranny

He shall not have his pleasure

For Goodness shall prevail!

No! To Villainy!

To save our greatest treasure

In this we cannot...

Princess:

In this we cannot fail

King:

My Dearest Daughter

Will no-one save her?

Half my Kingdom!

Chorus:

He offers half his Kingdom!

Will no-one dare to...

Princess:

Save me from the...

Chorus:

Colossus?

Hero:

I Will!

Now all the World is waiting - Ho!

A Maiden I must save - the world is waiting

No time for hesitating

If only I were brave - for Now, is the Hour

Yes I was made the hero - Hero!

It's my call - that's my cue! All eyes on you

It's everything or nothing - Go!

King:

Look out! He's coming through

Hero:

I'll save you princess

Giant:

PUNY PEASANTS!

MOVE OVER!!

Chorus:

Behold the Giant

We stand our ground defiant

Giant:

THE PRINCESS SHALL BE MINE

OH YES - SHE WILL BE MINE

Ha Ha Ha - WHO's NEXT??!

Hero:

Hey - you up there with the b-beard!

Oh I was made of Freedom

Nobody pulls my strings

And I can equal any man

In all the grown-up things

Giant:

Wooaarrgh!

Hero:

Yes I was made of mischief

They tell me I must learn

But nothing is coincidence

Whichever way I turn

And I will do or die

For I know one thing after all

The bigger any giant comes

The harder he may fall

Princess:

My Hero!

He saved me

My hero-my-hero-my-hero-my-hero-my-hero!

Chorus:

Hail the hero

King:

At last we have a hero

Chamberlain:

Sire I'm told he is only a-a-a peasant

Chorus:

Only a peasant

He's nothing but a peasant!

Princess:

He's - so daring and handsome and charming

King:

But a peasant - how very alarming

Princess:

He's so clever and brave and heroic

King:

But a peasant - they're all Protozoic

o-y!

ALL TOGETHER

All together we dance and play

We're bright and gay - a loud Hooray!

All together we greet the day

All:

Colossus is no more!

All together we celebrate

The very hills reverberate

To the heavens we elevate

The Hero we adore

Ladies:

All of a sudden the world is right

The sun is up and shining bright

All of a sudden the birds can sing

And Spring is at the door...

King and Princess:

All together in harmony

A chorus ring, a symphony

All together the Angels sing

The Giant is no more!!

Both:

Princess:

Where are we sailing?

To a strange and pleasant land

Take my hand

Sail with me
