letra de finaletto act ii - 1990 studio cast of strike up the band

[fletcher, spoken]
what’s the matter?
what’s all the racket?

[jim, spoken]
take a look at those

[fletcher, spoken]
oh, what are they?

[jim, spoken]
they’re b-ttons off the american soldiers’ uniforms
and they were found on sloane

[sloane, spoken]
he’s lying

[joan]
jim, consider what you are doing
jim, his reputation’s at stake

[holmes]
what is all this mess that you’re brewing?

[sloane]
he’s a troublemaker we must break
[fletcher]
take him to the guardhouse, this impetuous youth

[jim]
i say you’ll be sorry when you learn the truth
all about the b-ttons and the milk that’s cut

[fletcher]
take him to the guardhouse—he’s a grade b nut

[ensemble]
crazy talk of b-ttons and of milk—grade b
just a traitor to the u.s.a. is he

[a distant voice]
yo-do-lay-ee-oo

[sounds of gunfire in the distance.]

[ensemble]
what’s that? what’s that?
a wheel gone flat?
what’s that? what’s that?
it sounds like shooting grand and glorious
it sounds like cannon shooting grand and glorious
well, if it is we’re sure to be victorious
we know that when our boys begin admonishing
they get results that really are astonishing
it sounds like cannon shooting grand and glorious—
[spelvin, spoken]
we met the enemy and we are theirs

[ensemble, spoken]
what?

[spelvin, spoken]
uh, they are ours

[spelvin]
there were we, way up in an alp

[soldiers]
up in an alp, up in an alp

[spelvin]
out to get the enemy scalp

[soldiers]
get the enemy scalp

[spelvin]
i told my men to hide

[soldiers]
we scattered far and wide
[spelvin]
soon as i saw i was alone

[soldiers]
he was alone, he was alone

[spelvin, spoken]
i cleared my throat, tightened my belt
pointed my gun, and let out a yodel

[spelvin]
yo-do-deedle-lay-ee-oo

[spelvin, spoken]
and then i waited
the swiss thought it must be their general
they came running to me
but my men were on the job
the swiss were surrounded
a yodel won the war!

[ensemble, spoken]
hooray!

[ensemble]
he’s won the day
hip, hip, hooray
he’s won the day
hip, hip, hooray

[spelvin]
my friends, if from the bonds of war we’re free
please do not give the credit all to me
there was a mastermind who planned
the strategy that saved our land
and oh, my friends, the mastermind is—he!

[spelvin points to jim.]

[ensemble, spoken]
what?

[joan, spoken]
jim?

[ensemble]
ha ha, we laugh
ho ho, you chaff
the fatted calf
will never go to one so villainous
how you jest
he’s just a pest
a prison guest
please stop your joking, you are k!llin’ us

[spelvin, spoken]
the man who told me how to win—is he!

[this time, they rush to jim.]

[ensemble, spoken]
hooray!

[ensemble]
he won the war
hip, hip, hooray

[spelvin]
now an encore

[ensemble]
hip, hip, hooray

[fletcher]
to me the whole thing is incomprehensible

[sloane]
they’d start to string him up, if they were sensible

[ensemble]
he won the war
hip, hip, hooray!

let the drums roll out
let the trumpets call
while the people shout
“strike up the band”

hear the cymbals ring
calling one and all
to the martial swing
strike up the band

[fletcher, spoken]
hooray! the war is over and we win

[holmes, spoken]
this means your bonds will go way up

[fletcher, spoken]
you bet they will

[mrs. draper, spoken]
what’s all this about bonds?

[anne, spoken]
hey, hey!

[mrs. draper, spoken]
i haven’t any bonds
i’m a poor woman

[anne, spoken]
there it goes

[holmes, spoken]
poor?

[fletcher, spoken]
did she say poor?

[holmes, spoken]
uh huh

[mrs. draper, spoken]
wait!

[anne, spoken]
just a couple of happy girls

[joan, spoken]
he’s a hero, anne
and a hero’s got so many to pick from

[anne, spoken]
what do you say we shoot each other?

[joan]
i knew he’d come along
the one i love
though everything went wrong
with one i love
i’ll still keep dreaming of
the one and only man i love
