Listen Up lyrics

Ruth: Since I was a lassie, just a sweet young thing,

All I truly longed to do was make up songs to sing

Sure my voice was rotten and had a pity twang

But I had dreams, and in my dreams this is what I sang

Listen up, all you goons

Listen up and hear my tunes

Every line, boys, is mine

So listen up

Rapunzel: Catchy

How I yearned to sing it still I was afraid

Guess I feared they call me weird

And mocked the songs I made

So I shut my PIE HOLE and hid my work away

Rapunzel: But you had dreams

Ruth: And in my dreams this is what I played

Listen up, if you please

Listen to my melodies

Rapunzel: Folks she wrote

every note

Ruth & Rapunzel: So listen up

Ruth: I kept my song a secret but carved it on this club

Waiting till the perfect moment came

At last I worked the nerve up and stood before the pub

I let one note come through my throat and then I died of shame

Big Nose: Died?

Attila: Died?

Ruth: DEAD!

And now I haunt this tavern suffering for my art

Years and years of doubts and fears

Rapunzel: It's time to heed your heart

Ruth: I can end this curse now if I can end the song

Vladimir: Like in your dreams

Ruth: But in my dreams you ALL must sing along

Listen up, all you thugs

Lift your voices and your mugs

Don't be shy, let it fly!

Thugs: Listen up

Ruth: That's it!

Big Nose: Listen up

Attila: Listen here

Hookfoot: Raise the roof

Shorty: And rock the house!

Ruth: Make it loud, sing it proud

Thugs: Listen...

Ruth: WAIT!

Rapunzel: What's wrong?

Ruth: Him!

Rapunzel: Come on! EVERYONE needs to sing!

Captain: I... I haven't sung in quite some time, what if I'm rusty?

Shorty: You name's not rusty, it's captain, and I'm Suzanne

Rapunzel: Captain, please! It's almost midnight, we have to free Ruth

Captain: Listen up, listen close

You're disgusting, old and gross!

But your song is quite strong

Thugs & Captain: Listen up

Thugs, Captain & Rapunzel Listen up, listen up

Everybody raise your cup

Here's to Ruth, that's the truth

Listen up

Ruth: Listen up

Thugs, Captain & Rapunzel Listen up

Ruth: Listen up

All: Listen up

YEAH!
