Ellie:
Life upon da wicked stage is nefur what a girl sup-pos-es.
Stage door kitties doesn't bring mew pretties such as jewels an roses.
Dey juss whistle an make so much noise,
Mew says, oh pleeze remove dem boys,
Yes, life upon da wicked stage can really be a trial.

One more swing aroun da stage an bringin down da late nite cur-tain,
To yer dressin room mew run, too beat fur havin fun an flirt-in,
When yer tappin feets are sore an tired,
It's an awful lot required
From a kitty efury nite .....

Frank:
.... I think yer in denial.

Ellie:
Huh?

Frank:
I don't think you really feel above it,
It's too clear to me you love it!
Dere is no doubt yer crazy about yer wicked stage.

Ellie:
When da music plays I wanna tap an tap,
But when it gets late, I only wanna nap....

Frank:
Naw, yer warmin up dem liddle dancin feet,
my sweet.....

Ellie:
But a girl should haff a life dat's all serene!
Layin onna pillow, lazy as a queen..

Frank:
Ha! No weepin willow's got a thing on you. Boo-hoo!

You cannot resist da happy beat
You nefur missed fur dancin feet
Der is no chance dat you wouldn't dance......

Ellie:
Welllllllllll........dat's true......

Life upon da wicked stage ain't purrfect but it's so in-vi-ting.
Lotsa kitties wanna dance, but on a stage it's so ex-ci-ting.

Frank:
Now yer talkin like da girl I know,
Let's knock der eyes out in dis show!

Both:
Cuz life upon da wicked stage is magic fur us all!
