Lyrics[]
Marlee: La, la, la, la, la, la, la! (x2)
La, la, la, la!
The French Peas: She sells pea pods at the bean store. (x2)
(overlapped singing)
Jimmy and Jerry Gourd: Rutabaga buggy bumpers. (x2)
Howard, Pa Grape, Mr. Nezzer, Laura Carrot, Percy Pea: La, la, la, la, la, la, la! (x2)
The Scallions and the French Peas: I'll get it! I'll get it!
I'll try my best and get it!
If I try my best and do this right,
Then maybe I will get it!
(overlapped singing ends here)
Marlee: For your audition, tell us exactly why you should be in the musical. But tells us through song!
Jimmy: I'm Jimmy..
Jerry: And I'm Jerry.
Jimmy: We're auditions 1..
Jerry: And 2.
Jimmy: We really love attention..
Jerry: And we need something to do.
Jimmy and Jerry Gourd: Before this singing spectacle
Comes to its Easter end,
We really hope it's helped us make
At least a couple friends!
Jerry: Frieeends...
Jimmy: Frieends...
Jerry: Frieeeeends...
Jimmy: Fr-fr-frieends...
Jerry: Frien-f-frieeends... friends......friends
Jimmy: Uh...
Jerry: Friiiends..
Jimmy: Frieeends...
Jerry: Friends...
Howard: I am Howard Greenman.
I'm audition number 3!
Quite frankly, there's no other place
Where I would rather be.
I really love inventing
Singing robot egg machines.
If you have got the screwdriver,
Then I have got the me-e-eans!
Marlee: I love it! Giant singing robots! One million times yes!
Prescott: I don't get the whole robot thing, and it was kind of poochy.
Louis: That's "pitchy." "Poochy" is a dog.
Prescott: That's poochy, dog.
The Scallions: The blending of our harmonies
Is just shy of perfection...
Scallion #3: Perfection
The Scallions: We're certain that we'd be an ideal
Musical sele-e-e-ection.
Marlee: The red looks fantastic on you!
Prescott: So, you are a barbershop...
Scallion #2: Quartet!
Prescott: Quartet?
Louis: One...two...three...
Prescott: You did say "quartet..."
Scallion #2: Yeah! Quartet!
Prescott: Next!
(overlapped singing)
Pa Grape, Mr. Nezzer, Laura Carrot, Percy Pea: La, la, la, la, la, la, la! (x2)
The Scallions and the French Peas: I'll get it! I'll get it!
I'll try my best and get it!
If I try my best and do this right
Then maybe I will get it!
(overlapped singing ends)
Mr. Nezzer: I'm trying to impress my boss.
Pa Grape: Songs make me feel dandy.
Laura Carrot: It gets me out of doing chores.
Percy Pea: I hear there will be candy!
Pa Grape, Mr. Nezzer, and Laura Carrot: But in addition to these reasons
Pa Grape, Mr. Nezzer, Laura Carrot, and Percy Pea: With their upsides and their flaws,
The thing we love the most
Is the applause, applause, applause!
Marlee: Yes!
Louis: No!
Prescott: Forget it!
Louis: Love it!
Prescott: It's great!
Marlee: It's awful!
Marlee, Prescott, and Louis: Grrr!
Pa Grape, Mr. Nezzer, Laura Carrot, Percy Pea: The thing we cannot wait for
Is applause, applause, applause!
Prescott: It was very karaoke.
Louis: This is the best season ever!
Marlee: What?
Jimmy and Jerry Gourd, Mr. Nezzer, and Scallion #2: La, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Marlee, Prescott, and Louis: I'm disagreeing
Jimmy and Jerry Gourd, Mr. Nezzer, and Scallion #2: La, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Marlee and Prescott: With what you're seeing!
Jimmy and Jerry Gourd, Mr. Nezzer, and Scallion #2: La, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Marlee and Prescott: I feel like screaming!
Louis: Calm down! Do this later! Just a few auditions left! Whew!
The French Peas: Hello! We are the French Peas!
We're auditions 5-9!
There seems to be some tension
In our fledgling chorus line.
Before you all get super mad
And all fun disappears,
Perhaps we'd reevaluate
The reasons why we're here.
Jean-Claude: We believe that reason is puppies!
Miss Achmetha: Puppies are cuddly, puppies are cute.
They're never nasty or mean.
I'd give a home to all the lost puppies,
If ever one day I were QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
Arf!
Fun Facts[]
Remarks[]
- The French Peas claim to be auditions 5-9, however, this is technically untrue, as the Scallions, Mr. Nezzer, Pa Grape, Laura Carrot, and Percy Pea auditioned before them, therefore making them auditions 4-10. So, technically, the French Peas would actually be auditions 11-15.
- Mr. Nezzer's line "I'm trying to impress my boss" seems to be quite ironic, especially considering how he himself has portrayed many boss-like characters in the past.
- The album version removes Marlee, Prescott, and Louis' comments about the Scallions.
