Off-Broadway musical Here Lies Love the Musical - Fabulous One Lyrics
The song is written by David Byrne and Fatboy Slim.
ENSEMBLE: I'ma rise up! I'ma rise up! I'ma rise up! I'ma rise up!
I'ma rise up! I'ma rise up! I'ma rise up! I'ma rise up!
NINOY: Out every night In New York and Paris Champagne and dancing While back here at home People barely surviving They - they're living in shanties! Our country's in trouble But her party goes on
Now Now I have risen At the risk of her ire And I have risen At the risk of her scorn
Ha! And I have risen At the risk of her fury While that monument rises For the, the fabulous one The fabulous one
You know who I'm talking about The fabulous one Out on her yacht Bacchanalian feasts On the palace roof They party 'til dawn! Now a cultural center For Callas and Bernstein That monument rises For the fabulous one
Now Now I have risen At the risk of her ire And I have risen At the risk of her scorn
Ha! And I have risen At the risk of her fury While that monument rises For the, the fabulous one She's so... fabulous, ha!
NINOY & ENSEMBLE: A ghetto sprawls And I am revolted Houses of cardboard No medical care Misuse of money (I'ma rise up) And a monument rises (I'ma rise up) The stench of the toilets (I'ma rise up) But they don't stand there (I'ma rise up)
NINOY: C'mon, let me here ya' say Rise up! Say rise up! Say rise up! Say rise up! Rise up! Say rise up! I wanna' see you jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! C'mon let's jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
We're gonna' rise up!
