The Frogs - I Love to Travel (reprise) Lyrics |
2004 Broadway The Frogs The Musical - I Love to Travel (reprise) Lyrics
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
DIONYSOS: Xanthias, bring the baggage. We go straight to the River Styx. And no wending. (singing) I love to travel --
XANTHIAS: Master, I hate to repeat myself, but --
DIONYSOS: Over verdant hillock --
XANTHIAS: I don't see why I have to go to Hades.
DIONYSOS: And through leafy woodland --
XANTHIAS: When my number is up, from natural causes, sure, but why now?
DIONYSOS: Beside leaping brook, Along mossy lane --
XANTHIAS: I have hopes, dreams -- I wanna see Paris. I wanna have a m?nage ? trois. Is that pastry?
DIONYSOS: Through vale and valley --
XANTHIAS: I like earth.
DIONYSOS: Ascending craggy rock, Descending deep ravine --
XANTHIAS: I've lived here since I was born.
DIONYSOS: Exploring shady glade And making merry with the wood nymphs --
I was raised by wood nymphs!
XANTHIAS: That explains a lot.
DIONYSOS: Who finally point us in the right direction.
XANTHIAS: We were going in the wrong direction?!
DIONYSOS: And now we travel Due south. Along stony path, Across deep depression --
XANTHIAS: I'm in a deep depression.
DIONYSOS: Until it's time to shimmy straight down!
I love to travel I love to travel I love to --
(speaking) Good news. We've made it to the River Styx -- look. Oh Boatman! Boatman! Now where's the boatman?
