Sweaty Eddie! All of my life, that's what they've called me, and that's what I've been The blur in the background, the king of uncool The first at the office, the last in the pool And it's tuae But what can I do? Tell me, why can't she see there's much more to me deep within? Picture a guy, a knight in rhinestone armor Gleam in his eye, a zillion-watt smile Sharp threads, moves that get 'em starin' A turner of heads, cool beyond comparin' Bringin' the pride with a spring in his stride, and a fistful of style! And I… I could be that guy I could be the cock of the walk, and the talk of the town Leadin' the pack when the action goes down! Yeah, I - I'll betcha I could set the world astir If I only let myself try, well, I could be that guy - For her Foolish, I know (oh, no!) I've never been a charmer (Charm her, charm her, charm her) Just can't let go - (ooh - let go!) But if I could I would show 'em, but good That I… I could be that guy! I could be the dude all in white, bathed in light on the floor Livin' out loud as the crowd shouts for more! Yes, I… I could holler "yes!" to destiny! Time to step out No more fear, no more doubt It's time to grow some wings and start to fly! (Oh, I…) Oh, I… (I could be that guy) I just gotta relieve I just gotta, gotta (I could be that guy) Gotta believe (I could be that guy) Lf I'd only believe (I could be that guy) If i'd only believe (I could be that guy) That I… Yes, I could be that guy! I could be the cream of the crop set to pop! All the rage! Blistering hot in a spot center stage Yes, I… I got what it takes (hey!) to break away! (break away!) Aw, who am I kidding? I’ll always be Sweaty Eddie to her.] But before it's my time to die, hell, I will be that guy, someday Ooh, maybe someday… maybe someday
Theatre kid! Ensemble and not even in this scene since there’s so many ensemble nuns, but the other group does such a good job in this scene and i love this song :) if anyone knows where to find the lyrics let me know!
St. Anthony got visions in the desert St. Joan got voices in her head St. Ignatius got beaten Then partially eaten Then hung by the feet until dead St. Stephen got stoned And St. Francis disowned- All got tested and passed, as it were And like it or not Just look what I got Her And not just her... I got Disco piped unto the cloister I got glitter whenever you gaze I got celibate nuns Out there shaking their buns Shrieking you and your son's holy praise I got altar boys prancing in silver lame Requiem mass with a strobe light display Lord, if you're testing my faith, may I say-it's not fair With everything I got I haven't got a prayer No, I got fog machines clouding the altar And a mirror ball over the apse I got half of a flock Dressed to utterly shock And the rest wearing moonboots or chaps I got bikers and addicts and punks in the pews Several transvestites, a handful of Jews Lord, can you blame me at all if I choose to despair I mean how could I not I haven't got a prayer I thought I'd get a glimpse of glory I thought I'd get a taste of grace I thought I'd get to bring your kingdom close to Earth I thought I'd get to make this fallen world A finer gentler place A haven for the soul More safe, more pure, more whole But no... I got priests ding moves like Travolta A communion that's somehow risque People flailing their limbs Getting down tot he hymns While your sanctity dims day by day And I don't know what to do except grieve Don't know in what or in whom to believe Don't really know if it's true that you're even still there... So tell me are you there Tell me do you care Lord, if you're near If I can get your ear I've had it up to here Please make her disappear! Too late for that I fear You've made your answer clear I haven't got a prayer And never had a prayer I haven't got a prayer
God I remember, I watched a Production of Sister act In my home country And it was fantastic. In This specific Number, I still remember, she began singing The song and then, the dancers came In dressed In sparkly bodysuits and giant discoballs for heads, and when the Sisters came In and started chanting, the dancers suddenly made a round formation around Deloris, almost as to Bar her from the Nuns. It was Surreal, Hilarious, Kinda Creepy and Fantastic.
I don’t need a spotlight, I don’t need a crowd, I don’t need the great wide world to shout my name out loud. Don’t need fame or fortune, nice as those things are, I’ve got all I need to feel like I’m a star. I’ve got my sisters by my side. I’ve got my sisters' love and pride. And in my sisters' eyes I recognize the star I want to be. And with my sisters standing strong, I’m on the stage where I belong. And nothing’s ever gonna change that fact. I’m part of one terrific sister act. And yes, I love that spotlight! Yes I crave acclaim! I’ll admit I love the sound when strangers scream my name. All that glitz and glamour, they’re all right no doubt. But what are you left with when the lights go out’ I’ll have my sisters with me still, I’ll have my sisters, always will. And with my sisters' love, no star above will shine as bright as me. And as a sister and a friend, I’ll be a sister ‘til the end, and no one on this earth can change that fact - I’m part of one terrific sister act.
