Its Raining Men
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

Humidity's rising
Barometer's getting low
According to all sources
The street's the place to go

'Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men
(It's raining men)

It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, amen
I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet

It's raining men, hallelujah
It's raining men, every specimen
(Amen, amen)
Tall, blond, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo
I'm soaking wet, I'm soaking wet
Hoo-hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo
It's raining men

God bless Mother Nature
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman
So that each and every woman
Can find her perfect guy

Hi, hi, we are your Weather Girls
And have we got news for you
You better listen
So get ready, all you lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home
Alright

'Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men

It's raining men
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
It's raining men
(Amen)
Tall, blond, dark, lean men

Rough and tough
(It's raining)
And strong and mean
(The single men)

At half-past ten
(Oh yeah)
It's gonna start raining men

Don't Leave Me This Way
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Bernadette, Tick and Company)

Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without you love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way

Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
So come down and stisfy the need in me
Cos only your good loving can set me free

Don't leave me this way
I don't understand how I'm at your command
So baby please don''t leave me this way

Don't leave me this way
Cos I can't exist
I will surely miss your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way

Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
So come down and stisfy the need in me
Cos only your good loving can set me free

Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without you love, oh baby

Your tender kiss

You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning, out of control
So come down and stisfy the need in me
Cos only your good loving can set me free

Material Girl
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Felicia and the Boys)

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're okay
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light
(That's right)
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash is
Always Mr Right

Some boys romance, some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
(That's right)
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be

'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

A material, a material, a material, a material world
(Living in a material world)
Material
(Living in a material world)

(Living in a material world)
Material
(Living in a material world)

'Cause everybody's living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

(Living in a material world)
Material
(Living in a material world)

(Living in a material world)

I Love the Nightlife
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Shirley, Bernadette, Mitzi, Felici and Company)

Please don't talk about love tonight
Please don't talk about sweet love
Please don't talk about being true
And all of the trouble that we've been through
Please don't talk about all the plans
That we had for fixing this broken romance

I wanna go where the people dance
I want some action, I wanna live
Action, I got so much to give
I want to give it
I want to get some too

I wanna go where the people dance
I want some action, I wanna live
Action, I got so much to give
I want to give it
I want to get some too

I love the nightlife, I got to boogie
On the disco 'round, yeah
I love the nightlife, I got to boogie
On the disco 'round, yeah

Please don't talk about love tonight
Your sweet talkin' won't make it right
Love and lies just bring me down
When you've got women all over town
You can love them all and when you're through
Maybe that'll make a man out of you

I wanna go where the people dance
I want some action, I wanna live
Action, I've got so much to give
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna
Yeah, I wanna get some too

I love the nightlife, I got to boogie
On the disco 'round, yeah
I love the nightlife, I got to boogie
On the disco 'round, yeah

I love the nightlife, I got to boogie
On the disco 'round, yeah
(I love to boogie alright)
I love the nightlife, I got to boogie
On the disco 'round
I love to boogie around

Boogie, boogie
I just love the nightlife

True Colors
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Bernadette, Mitzi and Felicia)

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh, I realize
It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Makes you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid
To let them show
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I'll see your true colors
And that's why I love you

So don't be afraid
To let them show
Your true colors
Your true colors are beautiful

Like a rainbow
Like a rainbow

Color My World
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Adam, Tick, Bernadette and Company)

You'll never see a dark cloud hanging round me.
Now there is only blue skies to surround me.
There's never been a gray day since you found me.
Everything I touch is turning to gold.

Oh, you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day!
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way!
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above!
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love!
Just colour my world.

Just as long as I know you're thinking of me,
there'll be a rainbow always up above me.
Since I found the one who really loves me,
everything I touch is turning to gold.

So you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day!
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way!
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above!
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love!
Just colour my world.
Um.

Sunshine yellow.
Orange blossums.
Laughing faces
everywhere!
Yeah!

Oh, you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day!
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way!
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above!
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love.
Just colour my world.
Colour my world.
Oh, colour my world.
Colour my world!

I Will Survive
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Bernadette, Felicia, Mitzi, Jimmy and Company)

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble
You think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
As long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
And you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm saving all my loving
For someone who's loving me

A Fine Romance
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Young Bernadette and Les Girls)

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance

A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, I'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals
In the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Adam and the Divas)

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,

Hot Stuff

(Felicia, The Divas, and Bernadette)

Sitting here, eating my heart out waiting
Waiting for some lover to call
I dialed about a thousand numbers lately
Almost rang the phone off the wall

Looking for some hot stuff, baby, this evening
I need hot stuff, baby, tonight
I want some hot stuff, baby, this evening
Gotta have some hot stuff
Gotta find some loving tonight

I need hot stuff
I want some hot stuff
I need hot stuff

Hot stuff, hot stuff
Hot stuff, hot stuff

Looking for a lover who needs another
Don't want another night on my own
Wanna share my love with a warm-blooded lover
Wanna bring a wild man back home

Hot, hot, hot, hot stuff
Hot, hot, hot
Hot, hot, hot, hot stuff
Hot, hot, hot

I want some hot stuff, baby, this evening
I need hot stuff, baby, tonight
Looking for my hot stuff, baby, this evening
I need hot stuff, baby, tonight

I Say A Little Prayer
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Tick)

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair, now
And wondering what dress to wear, now
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

I run for the bus, dear
While riding I think of us, dear
I say a little prayer for you
At work, I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me

My darling, believe me
For me there is no one
But you ....

Please don't talk about sweet love.

Like A Prayer
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Felicia and Company)

Life

Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery

Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like a prayer
No choice, your voice can take me there

When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I'm gonna take you there

In the midnight hour
I can feel your power
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

(In the midnight hour)
(I can feel your power)
Just like a prayer
You know I'll take you there

We Belong
by Priscilla: Queen of the Desert

(Felicia, Mitzi, Bernadette and Company)

Many times I've tried to tell you, many times I've cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone
Don't wanna leave you really, I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy to the doubts that complicate your mind

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words, we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace, for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together

Maybe it's a sign of weakness when I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit, do we distort the facts?
Now there's no looking forward, now there's no turning back

When we say, we belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words, we've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace, for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
We belong, we belong, we belong together

We belong

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert is a jukebox musical with book by Australian film director-writer Stephan Elliott and Allan Scott, using well-known pop songs as its score. Adapted from Elliott's 1994 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the musical tells the story of two drag queens and a trans woman, who contract to perform a drag show at a resort in Alice Springs, a resort town in the remote Australian desert. As they head west from Sydney aboard their lavender bus, Priscilla, the three friends come to the forefront of a comedy of errors, encountering a number of strange characters, as well as incidents of homophobia, while widening comfort zones and finding new horizons.

Produced by Allan Scott in coalition with Back Row Productions, Michael Chugg, Michael Hamlyn and John Frost, the Simon Phillips-directed and Ross Coleman-choreographed original production of Priscilla debuted in Australia at the Lyric Theatre, Sydney in October 2006. Having had a successful run in Sydney, the production transferred to Melbourne in 2007 and then Auckland, New Zealand in 2008, before returning to Sydney for a limited engagement. The Australasian success of Priscilla provoked a two-year strong West End production in addition to its Bette Midler-produced Broadway debut in 2011. While the original production received one out of its seven Helpmann Award nominations, Priscilla was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Musical as well as two Tony Awards, winning these awards in the costume design categories.
