Love Is a Song
guitar chords lyrics
MR. PANCH (spoken)
Miss Ostrovsky. Chimerical
OLIVE (spoken)
May I have a definition?
MR. PANCH (spoken, voice fading out)
It means unreal, magical, visionary, wildly fanciful, highly unrealistic
OLIVE’S MOM
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh
OLIVE
If I go to Washington
Will I be on my own?
Because if I go to Washington
OLIVE’S MOM
Aaaaaaaah
Because if I go to Washington
OLIVE’S MOM
Aaaaaaaah
OLIVE
Who will be my chaperone?
OLIVE’S MOM
We always knew you were a winner
We saw it when you smiled
Start from the beginning
When you were a beginner
You were the perfect child
We always knew
We always knew
You were a champion
You sadness filled my room
Dear if you should feel my gloom
Blame it on me
Blame it on your Daddalee and Mammalee
‘Cause depression runs in our family
I love you
I love you
I love everything about you dear
And I swear it’s true
I love you
OLIVE’S DAD
I love you
OLIVE
And my dad says
OLIVE’S DAD, OLIVE’S MOM
I love you
I love everything about you
And maybe it’s true
I love you
OLIVE
I wrote you a letter
How I found the spelling bee such fun
Mama, Mama, Mama
But you didn’t react
And you never asked me
If I’d join you in the Bombay sun
Mama, Mama, Mama
I had quietly packed
When are you returning?
I know we agreed
Tell me what you’re learning
Ma, I have, Oh God, this need
I think Dad is angry, Ma
And I do not know what to do
Mama, Mama, Mama
Shanti Shanti and all
I think he takes out on me
What he wants to take out on you
Mama, Mama, Mama
How I wish you were home
How I wish you were home
How I wish you were
Wish you were home
OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD
We always knew you were a winner
OLIVE
How I wish you were home
OLIVE’S MOM
A bathing beauty, you
OLIVE (overlapping Olive’s Mom)
How I wish you were
How I wish you were home
OLIVE’S DAD
God, we love the way you grew
Since you were born
OLIVE (overlapping Olive’s Dad)
How I wish you were
How I wish you were home
OLIVE’S MOM
Olive, we couldn’t be prouder
OLIVE
Mama, Mama, Mama
How I wish you were home
OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD (overlapping Olive)
Please let me say it
One time louder
OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD
I love you
I love you
I love everything about you
OLIVE’S MOM
And I swear
OLIVE’S DAD
Baby
OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD
It’s true
I love you
OLIVE
OLIVE, OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD
I love you
OLIVE
I love you, Mama
OLIVE, OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD
I love you
OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD
I love everything about you
OLIVE (overlapping Olive’s Mom, Olive’s Dad)
OLIVE’S MOM
And I swear
OLIVE’S DAD
Baby
OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD
It’s true
I love
OLIVE (spoken)
Chimerical. C-h-i-m-e-r-i-c-a-l. Highly unrealistic, wildly fanciful.
MR. PANCH (spoken)
That is correct.
OLIVE, OLIVE’S MOM, OLIVE’S DAD
I love you
