[ Featuring James Corden, The Prom Ensemble ]
[DEE DEE, spoken]
Don't tell me, unless it's a rave. Or a mixed positive
[SHELDON, spoken]
It says we're a hit!
[BARRY, spoken]
Oh my God!
(sung)
We're a hit and I think we deserve it!
[DEE DEE]
That's for sure
[BARRY]
Also, it means that this tour de force
Will not be forced to tour
[DEE DEE, spoken]
To Eleanor! May she run for eternity!
[ENSEMBLE]
To Eleanor!
[ALL]
Cheers to a show that's so inspiring
It's almost too much to sit through
And if we've won that might mean one more thing
[BARRY]
That in ten years or so, we'll do Eleanor 2!
[DEE DEE]
I can predict what the reviews will say
Before the next note has arrived
It's ground-breaking
[ENSEMBLE]
Earth-shaking
[BARRY]
Life-affirming
[ENSEMBLE]
Breathtaking
[BARRY and DEE DEE]
Gut-wrenching
[ALL]
Heart-aching
[BARRY and DEE DEE]
In two words, it's history-making
That's why every actor strives
For adulation
And compensation
That comes from nightly
Changing lives
[BARRY, spoken]
It's just what we do
