[COMPANY]
MOONRISE, LIFTING, SOMETHING IN THE AIR
STARLIGHT, DRIFTING, SOMETHING IN THE AIR
COMETS, RAINBOWS, LIGHTNING IN THE SKY
WHERE THE WIND BLOWS THERE GO YOU AND I

SWEET BREEZE, SINGING, SOMETHING IN THE AIR
ONE CLEAR, SHINING, VIEW BEYOND COMPARE!
SOFTLY, GLIDING, TOWARDS THE BRINK OF DAWN
SOMETHING IN THE AIR, SAIL ON

[CLOUDS]
WE’RE SO EXCITED THERE’S SOMETHING NEW IN OUR PLACE HERE!
OH, WHAT A JOY!
AND WE’RE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU TO OUR PLACE HERE!
LOOK HERE!

WE’VE GOT YOUR FASTENED AND FLOATING HIGH IN THE SKY HERE!
IT’S CLEAR!
WE’VE GOT A WELCOMING CHEER!
JUST FOR YOU!
[COMPANY/CLOUDS]
SOFTLY, GLIDING, TOWARDS THE BRINK OF DAWN
SOMETHING IN THE AIR, SAIL ON

[ANDY]
Anchor it in!

[CAMEL]
This cloud has a hole in it!

[ANN]
Spread out a blanket!

[BABY DOLL]
I’m just a baby, I’m supposed to be waited on!

[ANN]
And dust the ants off that cloud, we don’t want ant sandwiches

[MOON]
COME ON GET OUT OF MY SKY BUSTER!
CAN’T YOU SEE IT’S THE NIGHT?

[MARCELLA]
It’s the moon!
[MOON]
WHO EVER SAW YOU AT NIGHT, BUSTER!
WHY CAN’T YOU GET IT RIGHT?

[BABY DOLL]
Fighting with the sun!

[SUN]
YOU KNOW YOU’RE JUST A MERE REFLECTION OF ME?
SO, BUDDY, FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER GALAXY!

[MARCELLA]
Is this heaven?

[ANN]
A piece of it

[ANDY]
Oh, what’s down there?

[CAMEL]
Lots of little lights

[PANDA]
Paris, indubitably
[ANN]
SO BEAUTIFUL, SO WONDERFUL
SOARING HIGH IN THE NIGHT!
SO MARVELOUS, MIRACULOUS
HOW CAN STARS BE SO BRIGHT?

COULD THIS BE THE HEAVEN THEY SAID WAS IN STORE?
WILL IT GO ON FOREVERMORE?

SO BEAUTIFUL, SO WONDERFUL
TONIGHT!

[MARCELLA]
Is this where my wishes come true?

[COMPANY]
One or two

[MARCELLA]
I wish I could see Yellow Yum-yum again. She’s singing in a choir! Just like Poppa said

[YELLOW YUM-YUM]
LITTLE MARTYR IN A GILDED CAGE
REDFANG KILLED ME AT AN EARLY AGE
MY FEATHERS CHOKED HIM, BUT THEY WISH HIM WELL
I FORGIVE HIM, WHERE HE HOWLS, HE HOWLS, HE HOWLS IN HELL!

[MARCELLA]
Oh I wish Poppa could see this

[POPPA]
I can, chick! I can

[MARCELLA]
Poppa!

[POPPA]
I’m here, I love you

[COMPANY]
He loves you

[POPPA]
Havin’ a good trip?

[MARCELLA]
Oh yes, there’s only one thing missing, I wish I could see—

[MOMMY]
WOOSH! EAST! WOOSH! WEST! WATCH ME!
‘CAUSE I’M A SHOOTING STAR!
WOOSH! UP! WOOSH! BEST! UP HERE!
HEY, I’M A SHOOTING STAR!
WATCH ME FLASHING ‘CROSS THE SKY!
WHAT A GORGEOUS SIGHT AM I!

WOOSH! NORTH! WOOSH! SOUTH! LOOK MA!
BOY, I’M A SHOOTING STAR
WOOSH! UP! WOOSH! DOWN! LOOK, WORLD!
YOU SEE A SHOOTING STAR!
DON’T CALL ME A METEOR, WHAT A BORE!
I’M A SHOOTING STAR!

[MARCELLA]
Oh, please love her!

[POPPA]
I do!

[MARCELLA]
Please lovе him!

[MOMMY]
I did

I’M A SHOOTING STAR!

[MARCELLA]
Please be marriеd again!

[COMPANY]
RING OUT THE BELLS, OH HOW WE’VE WAITED
THE MOMENT WE’VE ANTICIPATED
SWEET TEARS OF JOY AND LAUGHTER
AND HAPPY EVER AFTER!

[MARCELLA]
MOM, AND YOU, AND ME, WE THREE FOREVER!

[MOMMY/POPPA/MARCELLA]
WE’LL WALK TOGETHER ALL LIFE THROUGH NOW!
THE WAY THAT WE WERE MEANT TO DO NOW!

[MOMMY/POPPA/CLOUDS]
THE LONELY DAYS HAVE ENDED!
AND LIFE AT LAST IS MENDED!
HAPPY WEDDING DAY!

(Simultaneously)

[MOON]
COME ON GET OUT OF MY SKY BUSTER!
CAN’T YOU SEE IT’S THE NIGHT?
WHO EVER SAW YOU AT NIGHT, BUSTER!
WHY CAN’T YOU GET IT RIGHT?

[SUN]
YOU KNOW YOU’RE JUST A MERE REFLECTION OF ME?
SO, BUDDY, FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER GALAXY!

[MOMMY]
WOOSH! NORTH! WOOSH! SOUTH! LOOK MA!
BOY, I’M A SHOOTING STAR
WOOSH! UP! WOOSH! DOWN! LOOK, WORLD!
YOU SEE A SHOOTING STAR!
DON’T CALL ME A METEOR, WHAT A BORE!
I’M A SHOOTING STAR!

[COMPANY]
SWEET DREAMS, SINGING, SOMETHING IN THE AIR
ONE CLEAR, SHINING, CLEAR BEYOND COMPARE!
SOARING, GLIDING, TOWARDS THE BRINK OF DAWN
SOMETHING IN THE AIR, THEY LOVE
SOMETHING IN THE AIR, THEY LOVE

(Back together)

[ALL]
SOMETHING IN THE AIR
SOMETHING IN THE AIR
SOMETHING IN THE AIR, SAIL ON
