Shucked the Musical - Corn Mix Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally.
STORYTELLER 1: (spoken)
Now, this is where our little fable takes an exciting turn
STORYTELLER 2: (spoken)
We'll speed you through the highlights
We begin around eight PM
Go!
BEAU: (spoken)
A toast to the groom on the eve
of his weddin' from his best man
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
A toast!
GORDY: (spoken)
I'd like that!
BEAU: (spoken)
Maybe we should start you off with a child's portion
GORDY: (spoken)
My friend, where I come from, we have spirits
Named specifically for the tough urbanite
Who navigates a daily concrete battleground
Perhaps you've heard
of something called a cosmopolitan
BEAU: (spoken)
Ooh, well then,
We have underestimated you once again!
GORDY: (spoken)
Wow, that is so strong
It could raise five kids on a teacher's salary
What's in this?
BEAU: (spoken)
Well...
TENORS & BASSES:
Corn
We're talkin' corn
Just as sure as the day that you were born
In the east--
STORYTELLER 1: (spoken)
Stop! Then, eight o' five, go!
GORDY: (spoken)
I think this might be my last one for the night, fellas
STORYTELLER 2: (spoken)
Stop! Around eight o' eight, go!
TENORS & BASSES: (spoken)
Gordy! Gordy! Gordy! Gordy! Gor--
STORYTELLER 1: (spoken)
Stop! Around eight-fifteen, go!
BEAU: (spoken)
Tell us about where you're from
GORDY:
Tampa
If you can't afford Orlando or Atlanta
Medicare, Metamucil and Mylanta
Will always feel like home to me in Tam--
STORYTELLER 1: (spoken)
Stop! By eight thirty, go!
GORDY, TENORS & BASSES:
Woah, woah
BEAU: (spoken)
Yeah Gordy!
Hey, this is my song, I love it!
(singing)
Somebody will!
GORDY, TENORS & BASSES:
Woah
STORYTELLER 2: (spoken)
Stop! Eight thirty-two, go!
BEAU: (spoken)
Really big!
STORYTELLER 1: (spoken)
Stop! Mm-mmm, mm-mmm.
Eight-forty, go!
GORDY: (spoken)
My fam'ly doesn't believe in me
Growin' up,
My parents moved around a lot
Sure, I always found 'em, but it was hard
I never had any friends,
Not what I call real friends
BEAU: (spoken)
Well, you do now
GORDY: (spoken)
I do now?
BEAU: (spoken)
Yeah!
BEAU, GORDY, TENORS & BASSES:
Friends, my old friends
*Unintelligible drunk singing*
Something... together!
STORYTELLER 1: (spoken)
Stop! Then, around eight forty-five,
Mazie, Lulu and her liquor all landed, go!
MAZIE, LULU, SOPRANOS & ALTOS:
Here come the women
and the woman of the world
STORYTELLER 2: (spoken)
Stop! And suddenly, the plot,
Like the whiskey, thickened, go!
GORDY:
Hey, I'm not okay
