Lyrics-One Day More & Show People

One Day More
(Men's Choir and A Cappella Men) One day more.
Another day, another destiny.  This never ending road to Calvary.
This men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time.  One day more
(A Cappella tenors)  I did not live until today,
(Combined A Cappella men) How can I live when we are parted?
(Men's Choir) One Day More
(A Cappella) Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you my world has started.
(Women's choir) One more day all on my own
(A Cappella) Will we ever meet again?
(Women's) One more day with him not caring.
(A Cappella) I was born to be with you.
(Women's)What a life I might have known,
(A Cappella) And I swear I will be true.
(Women's) But he never saw me there (gradually A Cappella join singing)
(All Tenors) One more day before the storm
(All Basses) Do I follow where she goes?
(All Tenors) At the barricades of freedom.
(All Basses) Shall I join my brothers there?
(All Tenors) When our ranks begins to form
(All Basses) Do I stay and do I dare
(All Tenors) Will you take your place with me?
(All Choirs) The time is now, the day is here!
(All tenors) One day more.
(All basses) One day more to revolution, we will nip it in the bud.
We'll be ready for these schoolboys, they will wet themselves with blood.
(All tenors) One day more.
(Women's and Concert Choir Women) Watch 'em run amuck. Catch 'em as they fall.
Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all.
Here a little 'dip'. There a little 'touch'.
Most of the them are goners so they won't miss much.
(Altos and Tenors) One day to a new beginning
(Sopranos and Basses) Raise the flag of freedom high,
(Altos and Tenors) Ev'ry man will be a king!
(Sopranos and Basses) Ev'ry man will be a king!
(Altos and Tenors) There's a new world for the winning
(Sopranos and Basses) There's a new wold to be won.
(All) Do you here the people sing?
My place is here.  I fight with you!
(Tenors) One Day More!(4 times)
(Basses) I will join these people's heros, I will follow where they go,
We will learn their little secrets, I will know the things they know.
One more day to revolution, we will nip it in the bud.
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
(A Cappella Women) I did not live until today. How can I live when we are parted?
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away, and yet with you my world has started.
(Women's and Concert Choir) Watch 'em run amuck, Catch 'em as they fall.
Never know you luck when there's a free-for-all. 
Here a little 'dip.' There a little 'touch'.
(Tenors) Tomorrow we'll be far away
(All men) Tomorrow is the judgment day.
(All Choirs) Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in Heaven has in store,
One more dawn, one more day, one day more!  More!

Show People

(Madrigals) You're a special kind of people known as show people
You live in a world of your world of your own.
The audience paid plenty to sit there and clap;
Hearing you sing, watching you tap.

(Add A Cappella) Did you know your dentist longs to be in show business?
Your window washer wants to be a star.
And though your analyst may never couch it that way,
You don't know how lucky you are.

(Add Men's Choir--men only) Some police men and detectives dream of show business.
They can't get arrested but still---they sit around the station and fancy this life.
They jeer Sherlock Holmes and cheer Mack the Knife!

(Add Women's Choir--ladies only) Ask your cleaning lady, "Don't you dream of show business?
To vocalize or stretch beside a barre"?
Her affirmative shug as she shampoos your rug lets you know how lucky you are!

(Add Concert Choir--all sing) There's a special kind of aura 'round a show person.
Just ask the next waiter you meet.
(Ladies) He walks in fifth position, his voice is just grand;
(Men) He gives you the check, you give him a hand.
(All) If the boys in valet parking turned to show business, they could scalp a higher ticket for your car;
And my tree surgeon now started taking a bough. Don't you know how lucky you are?

We're a special kind of people known as show people.  We live in a world of our own.
Our days are tied to curtains, they rise and they fall.
We're born every night at half-hour call.
We can't picture being anything but show people, so millions find the whole thing quite bizarre.
But that hum in our hearts when the overture starts helps us know how lucky we are.

It's an honor and a joy to be in show business.
I feel the spotlight hit me and I'm gone!
At the last curtain call, I'm the envy of all, so I know the show must
(Altos and Basses) go on
(Sopranos and Tenors) So thrilling we're show people
(Altos and Basses) go on
(Sopranos and Tenors) So willing we're show people
(Altos and Basses) go on
(Sopranos and Tenors) So thrilling
(All) that show people go on!

Lyrics--Another Op'nin' Another Show & Regards to Broadway

Another Op'nin', Another Show

Another op'nin', another show,
In Philly, Boston or Baltimo'e
A chance for stage folds to say hello
Anoter op'nin' of another show

Another job that you hope, at last
Will make your future forget your past,
Another pain where the ulcers grow,
Another op'nin' of another show!

Four weeks, you rehearse and rehearse
Three weeks and it couldn't be worse
One week, will it ever be right?
Then out o' the hat, it's that big first night!

The overture is about to start.
You cross your fingers and hold your heart,
It's curtain time and away we go,
Another op'nin of another show. (1st ending)
Antoher op'nin, just another op'nin' of another show! (2nd ending)

Regards to Broadway!

How we love being up on the stage!
This is a dream we all share.
Oh, the feeling of spotlights shining!
Nothing we know begins to compare.
Can't you tell from the way that we sing,
It's not gonna take us too long?
We want to sing and dance on old Broadway,
Because we know that's where we belong.

Give my regards to Broadway; Remmember me to Herald Square.
Tell are the gang at Forty-Second Street that we will soon be there.
Whisper of how we're yearning to mingle with the old time throng.
Give my regards to old Broadway and tell them I'll be there 'ere long.

(Men) We're gonna pack our bags.
(Women) Can't wait another day.
(Combined) Next time you see us we'll be on Broadway!

(Singing combined songs)--and tell them we'll be there 'ere long.
We know that Broadway is the place where we belong!
