Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no

JULIET:
I look and stare so deep in your eyes,
I touch on you more and more every time,
When you leave I'm begging you not to go,
Call your name two or three times in a row,
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain,
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame.
'Cuz I know I don't understand,
Just how your love can do what no one else can.

JULIET with the GIRLS:
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss
Got me hoping you'll save me right now
Looking so crazy in love's,
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no

JULIET:
When I talk to my friends so quietly,
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me,
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress,
If you ain't there ain't nobody else to impress,
The way that you know what I thought I knew,
It's the beat my heart skips when I'm with you,
But I still don't understand,
Just how your love can do what no one else can.

Enter the BOYS (MONTAGUE, CAPULET, BENVOLIO, PETER with umbrella, rest of MONTAGUE and CAPULET crew)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (oh crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch (you're in love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (love!)

Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony, Soprano, (oh no)
The MNC handle like Van Axel,

The genuine article I go I do not sing though,
I sling though, If anything I bling yo,

MERCUTIO:
a star like Ringo, war like a green berret
Crazy bring ya whole set,
Mercush in the range, crazy and deranged,
They can't figure them out they like hey is he insane, (oh no)
Yes sir I'm cut from a different cloth,
My texture is the best fur, of chinchilla.
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)

But how you think I got the name Hova?
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)

Fall back young, ever since the label changed over
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh no no)

JULIET and the Girls
Got me looking, so crazy, my baby
I'm not myself, lately I'm foolish, I don't do this,
I've been playing myself, baby I don't care
'Cuz your love's got the best of me,
And baby you're making a fool of me,
You got me sprung and I don't care who sees,
'Cuz baby you got me, you got me, so crazy baby.

Ad libs through this verse by NURSE all ensemble singing and dancing

Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's (oh love)
Got me looking so crazy right now (lookin' crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss (baby)
Got me hoping you'll save me right now (baby)
Looking so crazy in love's, (whoa!)
Got me looking, got me looking so crazy in love.

Act Two Musical Numbers - Happy


PARIS sings.  During the song we see ROMEO and JULIET in bed

It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take away
I'm a hot air balloon, I could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way

(CAPULET, LADY CAPULET, SERVANTS, NURSE join in with backing vocals)
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

(SINGERS and rest of company do the ‘yeahs’ at the end of each line)
Here come bad news talking this and that
Yeah, give me all you got, don't hold back
Yeah, well I should probably warn you I'll be just fine
Yeah, no offense to you don't waste your time
Here's why

(Backing vocals as before)
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

GIRLS sing ‘Happy’ and boys do the ‘ugh’ backing vocals, later layer in lots of backing vocals

CAPULET:
(Happy), bring me down
Can't nothing, bring me down
LADY CAPULET:
Love is too (happy) to bring me down
Can't nothing, bring me down, I said nothing
ROMEO:
Bring me down
Can't nothing, bring me down
ROMEO and JULIET
Love is too happy to bring me down
Can't nothing, bring me down
I said

PARIS sings lead, rest do BV
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

ROMEO and JULIET take over lead vocals as the scene transitions
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Because I'm happy

Act Two Musical Numbers - White Lies


LADY CAPULET:
I don't know where you are or what you wanna do
It seems so these days I'm losing out on you, (ah yeah)
You come home so late, I don't know where you been
I wanna hold you tight but you make me wanna scream

NURSE and JULIET provide backing vocals where needed
(yeah)

Oh, so now we're fighting in the streets
I can't breathe cos I don't believe what you say
No, your white lies don't protect me
Be honest with me, it's all we can be to sustain

SINGERS and various ENSEMBLE accompany with backing vocal ‘aahs’
I drove around all morning,
Thinking of starting again
Turning my back on a good thing
I turned the car round instead

ALL
No, your white lies don't protect me
Be honest with me, it's all we can be to sustain
Oh so no more fighting in the streets
I can't breathe, cos I don't believe what you say


The music continues softly as an underscore

Act Two Musical numbers - Take me to church



ROMEO (singing)
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
'We were born sick', you heard them say it

Music continues as an underscore

ROMEO (speaking)
I do remember an apothecary,–
And hereabouts he dwells,

As I remember, this should be the house.

Apothecary!

ROMEO with backing ‘oohs’ provided by singers attending the funeral of JULIET.
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Underscore continues with backing vocals

APOTHECARY
Who calls so loud?

ROMEO
Come hither man.  Let me have a dram of poison, such some speeding gear, as will disperse itself through all the veins, that the life weary taker may fall dead.

APOTHECARY
Such mortal drugs I have, but Mantua's law is death to any that utters them.

ROMEO
The world is not thy friend, nor the world’s law. Then be not poor, but break it, and take this.

APOTHECARY
My poverty, but not my will consents.

ROMEO
I pay thy poverty, and not thy will.

APOTHECARY
Put this in any liquid thing you will, Drink it off and, if you had the strength of twenty men it would dispatch you straight.

ROMEO
There is thy gold. Worse poison to men's souls, than these poor compounds that thou mayest not sell.

Song resumes.  Sung by ALL at the funeral with some off-stage vocals.
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

FRIAR LAURENCE singing while conducting funeral rites.  Backing vocals continue.
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean

ROMEO (speaking)
Come, cordial and not poison, go with me to Juliet’s grave; for there must I use thee.

ROMEO exits.  The Choir and congregation sing
Amen. Amen. Amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
