How to Dance in Ohio the Musical - So Much in Common Lyrics
Music by Jacob Yandura, Lyrics by Rebekah Greer Melocik.
Tommy, can we talk about dragons?
Don’t get me started on dragons.
Oh wow, you too?
I like the ones that breathe fire.
You also like fire?
Of course you do.
I like things from other places,
Like vortices and cyberspaces.
I dream that we go there,
And you and me dance oh-so-slow there!
Tommy, we have so much in common.
Tommy, don’t you agree?
Tommy, we have so much in common.
Go to the dance with me?
Marideth,
Your eyes -- no.
Your hair -- no.
Your ears -- I don’t know.
You know what?
This is wrong, this is weird,
Going poorly as i feared --
Don’t get up, I’ll go.
You don’t know what you do to me,
Like you rewired my circuitry.
The moment you enter,
I fall completely off my center.
Tommy, we have so much in common.
Tommy, don’t you agree?
Tommy, we have so much in common.
Go to the dance with me?
Oh, Marideth,
I’ve been waiting so long.
Oh, Marideth,
I hear a slow song.
I feel nervous,
I’m quite shy.
What will I wear to the dance?
I want to curl up and die!
I like to socialize,
But don’t know how.
How will I survive tomorrow
If I’m this nervous now?
Caroline and Jay.
Jay and Caroline.
J-a-y plus m-e for always.
I’m certain that one day
We’ll be hanging up
Family pictures down our hallways.
My love for you is absolute,
Except one thing I don’t find cute:
I have reservations
About your jealous accusations.
Tommy, we have so much in common.
(J-e-a-l-o-u-s-y)
(Oh, Marideth,)
Tommy, don’t you agree?
(Jealousy!)
(I’ve been waiting so long.)
Tommy, we have so much in common.
(Jay, why are you so)
(Oh, Marideth,)
Go to the dance with me!
(Possessive of me?)
(I hear a slow song.)
Maybe we all have this in common,
Whatever kind of person you like,
Certain that as soon you tell them,
Disaster will strike!
I feel ready. I’ll be there.
I want to show off my moves.
I want to stay in this chair
And read about ancient geography.
Plenty could go wrong tomorrow
By simply being me.
Tomorrow night...
(By being me)
Tomorrow night...
Tommy, can we talk about dragons?
(Caroline and Jay.)
(Marideth, your eyes -- no.)
(I feel nervous,)
Don’t get me started on dragons.
(Jay and Caroline.)
(Your hair -- no.)
(My mouth's dry)
Oh wow, you too?
(J-a-y plus m-e for always.)
(Your ears -- I don’t know.)
(I really hate collared shirts)
I like the ones that breathe fire.
(I’m certain that one day)
(You know what? This is wrong,)
(I want to curl up and die.)
You also like fire?
(We’ll be hanging up)
(This is weird, going poorly as i feared)
(By simply being me.)
Of course you do.
(Family pictures down our hallways.)
(Don’t get up, I’ll go.)
(And read about ancient geography.)
The formal is tomorrow night.
And once I’ve done this classic rite,
Who knows what awaits me?
Like maybe after Tommy dates me!
Tommy, we have so much in common.
Oh, Marideth,
I still wanna curl up and die.
(J-a-y.)
(My mouth’s dry.)
Maybe this will end in disaster,
But I’m gonna try!
Tomorrow night,
(-- Аnd try and try again,)
Tomorrow night,
(And try and try and try again,)
Tomorrow night,
(And try and try and try,)
(T-o-m-m-y!)
And try!
