2016 Chicago Firebringer the Musical - We Got Work to Do Lyrics
"We Got Work to Do" was written by Meredith Stepien & Mark Swiderski, performed by Lauren Lopez (Zazzalil), Meredith Stepien (Jemilla), and Ensemble.
JEMILLA: We got work to do We got work to do
ZAZZALIL: I don't really wanna do the work today I don't really wanna do the work today I don't really wanna do the work today I don't wanna do the work today
TRIBE: I don't really wanna do the work today I don't really wanna do the work today I don't really wanna do the work today I don't wanna do the work today
ZAZZALIL: (KEERI, SMELLY-BALLS:) Just figured out how to move, how to sing, how to groove (I don't really wanna do the work today) (I don't really wanna do the work today) And now you're telling me, I gotta work today (I don't really wanna do the work today) (I don't wanna do the work today)
You know that feeling when you find a thing that blows your mind (I don't really wanna do the work today) (I don't really wanna do the work today) And next thing you know they wanna take it away (I don't really wanna do the work today) (I don't wanna do the work today)
TRIBE: (SCHWOOPSIE, EMBERLY:) Yeah, but you heard what Jemilla said (I know, I know, I know...) You gotta work to get ahead (Our people have to grow...)
TRIBE: (JEMILLA:) We gotta harness our pride ((spoken) Thank you.) And keep it up to survive ((spoken) Thank you.)
JEMILLA: Alright, now listen girls. Let me reiterate: I know it's hard to just work with no play I hope we all understand the importance of what we do And how this world is full of obstacles we gotta work through
We got so much to do Already you and me have made discoveries And have helped our kind in so many ways
I hope you feel in power Working through the shroud of mystery And our history's growing everyday
EMBERLY (spoken): Come on, Jemilla! You know we're just messing with ya!
I got the best job, 'cause I'm in charge of food I gotta eat everything to find out what tastes good
(spoken) Don't eat that! No one eat that!
SMELLY-BALLS: When I'm not kicking ass, I sit and stare at the grass And let the time pass to find out how it grows
TRIBE (spoken): And?
SMELLY-BALLS: I still don't know
TRIBE (spoken): Oh.
SMELLY-BALLS (spoken): I still don't know!
SCHWOOPSIE & CHORN: We've been watching our shadows everyday We notice when the sky is cloudy they go away We're trying to explain
DUCKER: What could they be? These dark spirits that follow us? No matter how fast we run They are trying to swallow us!
(Dialogue)
JEMILLA: So many wondrous things here for our kind A world of tools and knowledge left to find And I hope to bring you there Because you know how much I care
So we'll join each other hand in hand And try to help ourselves to understand This world is what we make of it together
This is the dawn The dawn of our time We are mankind With the gift of a greater mind
ALL: This is the dawn The dawn of our time We are womankind With the gift of a stronger mind
Ooh... Ooh... Ooh...
