Part One
Song #1: ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’
Originally performed by Judy Garland
Sung by Judy Garland (in ‘Part One’, Prologue, Scene #1)
JUDY
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can’t I?
Song #2: ‘Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart‘
Originally performed by Judy Garland
Sung by Judy Garland (in ‘Part One’, Chapter 2, Scene #20)
JUDY
[Verse 1]
Dear, when you smiled at me
I heard a melody.
It haunted me from the start.
Something inside of me started a symphony.
Zing! Went the strings of my heart!
[Verse 2]
‘Twas like a breath of spring.
I heard a robin sing
about a nest set apart.
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony.
Zing! Went the strings of my heart!
[Verse 3]
Your eyes made skies seem blue again.
What else could I do again
but keep repeating through and through, “I love you, love you!”
I still recall the thrill,
I guess I always will,
I hope ’twill never depart.
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
[Verse 3] (repeat)
Your eyes made skies seem blue again.
What else could I do again
but keep repeating through and through, “I love you, love you!”
I still recall the thrill,
I guess I always will,
I hope ’twill never depart.
Dear, with your lips to mine, a rhapsody divine
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
[Refrain]
Zing! went the strings of my
Zing! went the strings of my
Zing! went the strings of my heart
Song #3: ‘Good Mornin’!’
Originally performed by Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney
Sung by Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney (in ‘Part One’, Chapter 2, Scene #22)
JUDY
Good Mornin’, Good Mornin’!
We’ve danced the whole night through,
Good Mornin’, Good Mornin’ to you.
Good Mornin’, Good Mornin’!
It’s great to stay up late,
Good Mornin’, Good Mornin’ to you.
When the band began to play
the sun was shinin’ bright.
Now the milkman’s on his way,
it’s too late to say goodnight.
So, Good Mornin’, Good Mornin’!
Sunbeams will soon smile through,
Good Mornin’, my darlin’, to you.
MICKEY
Here we are together,
a couple of stayer-uppers.
Our day is done, breakfast time
starts with our supper.
Here we are together,
ah, but the best of friends must party.
So let me sing this party song
from the bottom of my hearty.
Good Mornin’…
JUDY
…it’s a lovely mornin’.
MICKEY
Good Mornin’…
JUDY
…what a wonderful day.
MICKEY + JUDY
(in unison) We danced the whole night through.
Good mornin’, good mornin’ to you.
JUDY
How do you do, do, do!!!!
MICKEY
I said Good Mornin’…
JUDY
…see the sun is shinin’.
MICKEY
Good Mornin’….
JUDY
…hear the birdies sing.
MICKEY + JUDY
(in unison) It’s great to stay up late.
Good Mornin’, Good Mornin’ to you.
At this point, incidental music is played to support the scenes featuring Nyssa and Billy before they’re captured by Snowy and Buster in ‘Part One’, Chapter 2, Scene #22.
MICKEY
When the band began to play
the stars were shinin’ bright.
Now the milkman’s on his way,
it’s too late to say goodnight.
JUDY
Good Mornin’, Good Mornin’!
Sunbeams will soon smile through.
Good Mornin’, Good Mornin’,
Good Mornin’, my darlin’, to you!
Song #4: ‘Embraceable You‘
Originally performed by Judy Garland
Sung by Judy Garland (in ‘Part One’, Chapter 2, Scene #25)
JUDY
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you,
My heart grew tipsy in me.
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me.
I love all the many charms about you,
Above all, I want my arms about you.
Don’t be a naughty papa
Come to baby, come to baby do
My sweet embraceable you
At this point, Judy is interrupted, as Snowy and Buster, who act as Nyssa and Billy, dance on the dance floor, as described by the Smiths in ‘Part One’, Chapter 2, Scene #25.
JUDY
I love all the many charms about you,
Above all, I want my arms about you.
Don’t be a naughty papa
Come to baby, come to baby do
My sweet embraceable you
More incident music is played from the song for the rest of the scene.
Part Two
Song #5: ‘When I Look at You!’
Originally performed by Judy Garland
Sung by Judy Garland (in ‘Part Two’, Chapter 5, Scene #61)
JUDY
When I look at you
I hear lovely music
Can it be my heart that sings?
When I look at you
I look at an angel
Tell me where you’ve parked your wings
Dizzy me, silly moon
Crazy quilt of a sky
Are you real, or a dream
That got caught in my eye?
When I look at you
I’m looking at rainbows
Stars come tumbling down from above
And I’m in love with you, my love
Whilst Judy sings, there’s a scene with the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Billy talking and she sings in the background.
Song #6: ‘You made me love you’
Originally performed by Judy Garland
Sung by Billy Walker (in ‘Part Two’, Chapter 6, Scene #66)
BILLY
You made me love you
I didn’t want do it, I didn’t want do it.
You made me love you
and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it.
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad.
But there were times, dear, you made me feel so sad.
You made me sigh ’cause
I didn’t wanna tell you, I didn’t wanna tell you
I think you’re grand, that’s true
Yes I do, Indeed I do, you know I do.
I must tell you what I’m feeling
The very mention of your name
sends my heart reeling.
You know you made me love you!
Song #7: ‘I Ain’t Got Nobody’
Originally performed by Judy Garland
Sung by Judy Garland (in ‘Part Two’, Chapter 6, Scene #67)
JUDY
All the big professors state
That everything should have a mate
Birds and Bees and Flowers and Trees
All have romantic tendencies
So far I have missed the he
That fate decreed was meant for me
I’m just living in a lull
And I’ll confess it’s mighty dull
Romeo had Juliet and Louis XVI had Antionette
But I ain’t got nobody and nobody’s got me
Pelleas had Melisande and Isabella had Ferdinand
But I ain’t got nobody and nobody’s got me
Welch Grape Juice has Irene Rich
Minneapolis has St Paul
Abercrombie has his Fitch
But here I am crying and sitting and sighing
With no one at all
Hans had Gretel by his side and Dr. Jekyl had Mr. Hyde
But I ain’t got nobody and nobody’s got me.
Judy stops singing to say some dialogue before finishing the song in ‘Part Two’, Chapter 6, Scene #67.
JUDY
Lancelot had fair Elaine and Mr. Lunt has Ms. Lynn Fontaine
But I ain’t got nobody and nobody’s got me
Frederic Chopin had George Sand and Alexander had his Ragtime Band
But I ain’t got nobody and nobody’s got me
Barbasol has Singin’ Sam
Metro-Goldwyn has Mayer
Mary has her little lamb
But here I am hoping and mumbling and moping
With no one to care
Gobs have sweethearts on the wharves
And even Snow White had seven dwarves
But I ain’t got nobody and nobody’s got me
Nobody – nobody’s got me.
Song #8: ‘Pick Yourself Up’
Originally performed by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers
Sung by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers (in ‘Part Two’, Chapter 7, Scene #77)
FRED
Please teacher, teach me something,
Nice teacher, teach me something.
I’m as awkward as a camel, that’s not the worst,
My two feet haven’t met yet,
But I’ll be teacher’s pet yet,
‘Cause I’m gonna learn to dance or burst.
GINGER
Nothing’s impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start All over again.
Don’t lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.
Work like a soul inspired,
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you’ll be a man, my son!
Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.
FRED
I’ll get some self assurance
If your endurance is great.
I’ll learn by easy stages
If you’re courageous and wait.
To feel the strength I want to,
I must hang on to your hand,
Maybe by the time I’m fifty
I’ll get up and do a nifty.
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.
