Some Like It Hot the Musical - Fly, Mariposa, Fly Lyrics
The song is written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman
OSGOOD: (spoken)
There’s an old story my mother used
To tell me when I was a child
It’s about a mariposa — which means butterfly
I’ve always returned to it whenever
I’ve found myself confused about who I was
And … who I was meant to be
(singing)
On a leaf, a mariposa leaves a huevo—
(spoken)
That means egg!
(singing)
Which becomes a caterpillar by and by
When it’s grown,
It hides and waits for Mother Nature’s kiss
Metamorphosis, and when we see her next
It’s time for her to fly
Fly, mariposa, fly
I would never pin such beauty down
You should be free to touch the sky
So fly, mariposa, fly
(spoken)
That is how I see you, Daphne
DAPHNE: (spoken)
As a caterpillar?!
OSGOOD: (spoken)
As a butterfly! About to take wing!
OSGOOD:
Other men will see the colors that define you (Define you)
Every day they try to catch you for a prize (Aah)
So fly above the one you love, he’ll never need a net
And he won’t forget
That wings like yours were meant to fire up the skies (Aah)
Fly, mariposa, fly (Fly, fly)
To a hill in Te-Adoro town
I’ll wait for you there ‘til I die
So fly, mariposa, fly (Aah)
Our romance
Might be the chance for you to dance and spread your wings
(Dance and spread your wings)
Don’t fear the night
Embrace the light my loving brings (Brings)
Listen as it sings! (Sings!)
La-la-la-la-la (La-la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (La-la-la-la-la)
Flowers bloom, there's sweet perfume (Flowers bloom)
That says “the world is new, so take in the view” (So take in the view)
And when you land
A rose in hand waits there for you (Aah)
Fly, mariposa, fly (Fly, fly)
I would never pin such beauty down (Don't you know?)
You should be free to touch the sky (You should be free)
So fly, mariposa, fly (So fly, mariposa, fly)
Fly, mariposa, fly (Fly, fly mariposa)
To our hill in Te-Adoro town (Fly, don't you know?)
I wait for you there ‘til I die (I'll wait for you)
So fly, mariposa, fly (So fly, mariposa, fly)
I’ll wait for you there ‘til I die
So fly, mariposa, fly! (Fly)
