Lucian Piane - Shade: The Rusical

(Act 1)

[Shady Lady/BenDeLaCreme]

In the city of drag queens, there's a fine line between being shady

and being a lady.

This is Penny, which will she choose?

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

I just got off the bus

I don't drink or eat or cuss

[Pangeant Queens/Trinity K. Bonet & Bianca Del Rio]

You're new in town it's time to knuckle down

Start swimming to the top before you drown

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Who are you?

[Pangeant Queens/Trinity K. Bonet & Bianca Del Rio]

We are the pageant queens

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

(Oh, fancy)

[Pangeant Queens/Trinity K. Bonet & Bianca Del Rio]

We're elegant machines in gowns we strut we don't need corny smut

[Comedy Queens/ Gia Gunn & Darienne Lake]

(What?!)

[Pangeant Queens/Trinity K. Bonet & Bianca Del Rio]

Let's hold back and see which way she leans

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Who are you?

[Comedy Queens/ Gia Gunn & Darienne Lake]

We are the comedy queens

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

(Oh, cute!)

[Comedy Queens/ Gia Gunn & Darienne Lake]

Jumor always justifies the means while she's there telling a joke

[Darienne Lake]

(Look!)

[Gia Gunn]

I'm right behind you poke

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

(Oh!)

[Comedy Queens/ Gia Gunn & Darienne Lake]

So don't listen to them 'cause there just full of beans

[Gia Gunn]

(Literally!)

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Who's that?

[Pangeant Queens/Trinity K. Bonet & Bianca Del Rio]

Wait! She's the shady queen,

Horrid queen,

No one wants to see her!

On her own,

All alone,

No one wants to be her!

[Comedy Queens/ Gia Gunn & Darienne Lake]

Listen up

Pretty pup

She's on her way to six feet underground

[Pangeant Queens/Trinity K. Bonet & Bianca Del Rio]

Yes and nothing nice, nothing good ever goes her way

So miss "off the bus", stick with us, even Ru would say so

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Who?

[Pangeant & Comedy Queens, all together]

(Gasp)

RuPaul!

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Oh!

[Pangeant Queens/Trinity K. Bonet & Bianca Del Rio]

Turn around!

We are the better queens,

The safer queens,

The lighter queens,

The brighter queens,

The wiser queens,

Advisor queens,

The ones who you should stick with!

[Shady Lady/BenDeLaCreme]

Penny, you really wanna be a star?

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Yeah, I do!

[Pangeant & Comedy Queens, all together]

No! Don't do it!

Don't girl! She's got testicles!

I've seen them!

She's a man with one eye, no!

[Shady Lady/BenDeLaCreme]

There's a hole in your heart,

There'a place in your soul

A passion so strong it makes your blood boil

All your dreams come alive

All your wishes will grow

If you take a swig of this fish oil!

Drink for me!

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Oh, I'd really like to, but I shouldn't I-

[Shady Lady/BenDeLaCreme]

Drink for me!

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

But I do want to be a big, big star

[Shady Lady/BenDeLaCreme]

Drink for me!

[Pangeant & Comedy Queens, all together]

Don't do it! Don't do it!

[Shady Lady/BenDeLaCreme]

Drink for me!

[Pangeant & Comedy Queens, all together]

You'll lose it! You'll lose it!

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Well I'm gonna be the greatest star

And nothing and no one's gonna keep me down

And you, and you, and all of you

I'll make you love me!

[Pangeant & Comedy Queens, all together]

Don't do it! Don't do it!

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Oh I can't get it open

[Shady Lady/BenDeLaCreme]

Here!

[Pangeant & Comedy Queens, all together]

Don't do it! Don't do it!

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

Watch me be your star!

[Pangeant, Comedy Queens & Shady Lady, all together]

All t all shade!

(Act 2)

[Milk]

Thanks to fish oil, our good little Penny

Became one bad Penny.

But, she got her fame...

[Bad Penny/Adore Delano]

Because I'm the biggest star

And I'm going far

Just a miracle in front of you!

Oh, and if you don't believe

I will show you

I'll teach you

I'll school you

I'll beat you

And punch you

And crunch you

I'll take you

And make you

Thank me

When you love me

That's how you do it back rolls!

[Big Queen/April Carrión]

Did you see what she said to me!

[Dancing Queen/Laganja Estranja]

Back rolls!

[Butch Queen/Joslyn Fox]

Heard it!

[Big Queen/April Carrión]

Can you believe,

Can you believe

She even said that!

[Dancing Queen/Laganja Estranja]

Yes she really did!

[Butch Queen/Joslyn Fox]

Oh yes she really, really went there!

[Big Queen/April Carrión]

Well I'm not gonna stick around

And be a part of her show!

[Dancing Queen/Laganja Estranja]

But you have to!

[Butch Queen/Joslyn Fox]

Girl, the paycheck!

[Big Queen/April Carrión]

Oh, right mhmm...

[Bad Penny/Adore Delano]

No, I'll never love anyone else like I love myself!

Oh no, no, no, no I'll never love anyone else!

[Big Queen/April Carrión]

Ai dios mio! The's going down! Too much fish oil!

[Dancing Queen/Laganja Estranja]

Now's our chance!

[Big, Dancing & Butch Queen, all together]

Watch us rise to the top

'Cause we're the fresh fish on the scene

We're the new girls in town

We're stepping right over this queen

She's been throwing some shade

And now we don't give a damn

Take away her fish oil

And there ain't nothing left there, man!

Woo!

Center stage another

Chapter time to turn the page

[Big Queen/April Carrión]

And finally I'm the star no I'm the star!

[Dancing Queen/Laganja Estranja]

No I'm the star!

[Butch Queen/Joslyn Fox]

No girl!

(Mumbled fighting)

[Milk]

Oh the shade the shade of it all

Look at yourself shady ladies

You should be ashamed

Of what you've become oh,

I never thought

That you would do this

So let me remind you of just one thing

Take each other's hands and come together

Cause we are each other's family

All 2603040 sisters

This is our land and

We are the queens!

[All]

Time to take a stand and come together

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

(We come together)

[All]

Cause we are each other's family

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

(We're all family)

[All]

All 2603040 sisters

[Good Penny/Courtney Act]

(Many queens)

[All]

This is our land and we are the queens!

[Pangeant Queens/Trinity K. Bonet & Bianca Del Rio]

So even if you're a pageant queen!

[Comedy Queens/ Gia Gunn & Darienne Lake]

Or a comedy queen!

[Good & Bad Penny/Courtney Act & Adore Delano]

Or a fishy queen!

[Shady Lady/BenDeLaCreme]

A shady queen!

[Big, Dancing & Butch Queen, all together]

Or just a big damn girl!

[Milk]

We are a family!

[All]

Back rolls!
