Arrival Of The Trio - Are You Ready To Begin
(Squelch)
Are you ready to begin?
Are you ready to get on?
You're about to start off on the journey of your life.
(Raoul)
Is this some kind of joke?
(Member of crowd)
Nah! It's a publicity stunt for that freak show on Coney!
(Reporter)
It's a front page feature, is what it is! You gettin' this, Smitty?
(Smitty)
You betcha!
(Gangle)
If you're ready then get in.
Once you're in then we'll get gone,
And who knows once it goes
Where you'll be when it arrives.
(Raoul)
This is outrageous!
(Members of crowd)
It's amazing!
Brilliant!
I'm telling you, that Mr. Y's an absolute genius!
(Fleck)
It's a fun house where the mirrors all reflect what's real,
(Fleck and Gangle)
And reality's as twisted as the mirrors reveal,
(Fleck, Gangle, and Squelch)
And the fun is finding out what the mirrors show.
(Raoul)
This is unacceptable, do you hear me! I will be taking this up with your employer, whoever he is!
(Gustave)
Everything and everyone
It's all just how I dreamed!
All the freaks and all the fun
Exactly how I dreamed!
And Phantasma still awaits!
Wonder what's behind its gates.
(People in crowd)
That was something, wasn't it?
Nah, I was hopping she'd sing for us. Caruso sung half of Pagliacci for us when we got off the boat.
Eh, I bet she ain't got it no more, not like the old days. I mean, sure, she's pitch perfect, but empty inside like the plane without-
Look! It's the Rockefellers!
*Excited chatter*
