Shucked the Musical - Corn (reprise) Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally.
GORDY:
Cob County friends
Your dark days are at an end!
I know that you've been prayin'
For a ear that you can bend
Well it took a little science
A little math, a little myth
But I formed a little formula
Now feast your eyes on this!
ENSEMBLE:
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
GORDY: (spoken)
A newly-grown, perfect ear of corn!
ENSEMBLE:
It's really corn!
GORDY: (spoken)
Yep!
ENSEMBLE:
It's been resurrected and reborn
GORDY: (spoken)
Hallelujah!
(singing)
In a field full of failure,
It's a yellow unicorn
ENSEMBLE:
Mazie brought a savior for our corn!
BEAU: (spoken)
What happened?
ENSEMBLE:
Gordy fixed the corn!
BEAU:
What?!
ENSEMBLE:
Gordy fixed the corn!
BEAU:
No!
GORDY:
I've analyzed, hypothesized
And agonized and realized
The reason why your corn is dyin!
It's because of those rocks!
ENSEMBLE:
Rocks? What about the corn?!
GORDY:
Got a corn problem?
I'm your man
Need a green thumb?
I'm a whole green hand
ENSEMBLE:
What's your plan?
GORDY:
The corn's in trouble,
So let's troubleshoot
Like any other problem,
The problem's at the root
And the roots ain't rootin'
Cause the soil ain't soakin'
And the soil ain't soakin'
Cause the rocks are suckin'
All the water from the soil,
All the water from the stalks
Wanna fix your corn?
Gotta start with the rocks!
ENSEMBLE:
What's he sayin'?
GORDY:
The rocks gotta go!
Move those rocks and your corn will grow
ENSEMBLE:
Oh, move those rocks and the corn will grow
Woah!
STORYTELLER 1:
Well holy shit!
STORYTELLER 2:
Holy shit!
STORYTELLER 1:
That's a lot!
STORYTELLER 2:
Who'da thought?
STORYTELLERS:
All we gotta do is
COMPANY:
Move those rocks!
STORYTELLER 1:

STORYTELLER 2:
And it was like
STORYTELLER 1:
Cornography!
STORYTELLER 2:

STORYTELLER 1:
Mazie walked into a shucking victory!
STORYTELLER 2:
Beau said...
BEAU:
You gotta be shucking kiddin' me!
STORYTELLER:
Lulu, Peanut, Mazie too
Did that thing they always do
STORYTELLER 2: (spoken)
What?
STORYTELLERS: (spoken)
Sing!
MAZIE:
Everything you thought you knew about me
LULU:
Just because you caught a bus to Tampa
MAZIE:
Just like that, I turned it on its ear
BEAU:
He will never fit into our world
MAZIE:
And that corn wouldn't stand a chance without me
LULU:
Don't do it girl
MAZIE:
All you do is doubt me
LULU & PEANUT:
Ever since you
MAZIE:
Since I
MAZIE, LULU, BEAU & PEANUT:
Came back here!
STORYTELLER 1:
And Gordy said
GORDY:
The corn will grow
STORYTELLER 2:
And Mazie said
MAZIE:
I told you so!
STORYTELLERS:
And the whole town turned
and looked at Beau
BEAU:
You believe all this?!
ENSEMBLE:
Well yes we do!
PEANUT:
You really do?!
MAZIE:
And I do too!
ENSEMBLE: (spoken)
Yessss!
STORYTELLERS:
Beau was jealous, Beau was mad
Stubborn pride was all he had
Lulu, Peanut
COMPANY:
The whole town too
STORYTELLERS:
Did that thing they always do!
COMPANY:
Sing!
STORYTELLERS:
The place went nuts!
MAZIE:
Oh I'm a woman now!
ENSEMBLE:
Corn!
STORYTELLER 1:
Shucking nuts!
MAZIE:
A woman of the world!
ENSEMBLE:
We've got corn!
STORYTELLERS:
They lost their minds!
BEAU:
He ain't even Cob County boy!
ENSEMBLE:
Glory!
MAZIE:
I'm not just some country girl
ENSEMBLE:
He saved our...
GORDY:
I've fixed the corn!
MAZIE:
I've seen the skyline and an ocean full of pearl
STORYTELLER 2:
It was all confused!
GORDY:
I've fixed the corn!
PEANUT:
Did you hear that, corn?
ENSEMBLE:
Say what you will
MAZIE:
I'm a woman of the world
ENSEMBLE:
He fixed the corn!
GORDY:
Sure did!
STORYTELLER 1:
Then Gordy got down on a knee in the dirt
STORYTELLER 2:
Found a little rock just
to show 'em how it worked
STORYTELLER 1:
Beau told Mazie
BEAU:
You are outta your mind
STORYTELLER 2:
And she was on her own this time
PEANUT: (spoken)
Well, I think...
STORYTELLER 1:
When Mazie told Beau
MAZIE:
You can jump off a dock
STORYTELLER 2:
Just about the time...
GORDY:
I loosened up the rock!
STORYTELLER 1:
And this is where
LULU:
Mazie
STORYTELLER 1:
Kinda lost the plot
STORYTELLER 2:
But it ain't so crazy to
COMPANY:
Think of what she thought
MAZIE: (spoken)
Why yes, Gordy Jackson,
I will marry you!
GORDY:
What?!
LULU:
What?!
PEANUT:
What?!
BEAU:
What?!
ENSEMBLE:
What what what what what?!
COMPANY:
Holy shit!
STORYTELLERS:
What about that shit?
