Heaven By The Sea - Andrew Lloyd Webber

TOURISTS:

Hurry up!

(You won’t believe it)

Take a look what’s over here!

(Who imagined just how big the place would be?)

ALL:

The man called Mr. Y put it up in just a year

It’s a little slice of heaven by the sea

TOURISTS:

Look, there’s restaurants

(A midway)

A gigantic concert hall

(The biggest funhouse ever seen)

A volcano that erupts each day at three

(Wonders brought from 'round the world)

The season’s just begun and Mr. Y has got it all

(Crystal fountains)

Grand pavilions

(Hell, it must have cost him millions)

ALL:

It’s a little slice of heaven by the sea

TOURIST:

Over here!

ALL:

The sights, the sounds

The lights, the smells

The wonder wheels, the carousels

The gardens and arcades

The marble colonnades

The rides (the rides)

The shows (the shows)

The games (the games) of chance

The rush (the rush), the whirl (the whirl)

The sheer (the sheer) romance

TOURISTS:

And the rumors

(What about 'em?)

Things so odd you daren’t doubt 'em

(Freaks and monsters, abhorrations)

With mechanical creations

TOURIST:

And the genius who designed it

Wears a mask

ALL:

(A mask? A mask?)

TOURIST 2:

But what’s behind it?

ALL:

What’s behind it?

What’s behind it?

What’s behind it?

What’s behind it?

TOURISTS:

Fancy ballrooms

(Altered spaces)

Shoot the shoots

(And steeple chases)

A casino, a museum

(Look, a Roman Colosseum)

And a concert hall that’s bigger than the Met!

ALL:

What’s inside it?

What’s inside it?

What’s inside it?

What’s inside it?
