"Legally Blonde" Lyrics
#50LB Lyrics
Posted: 2/5/07 at 7:56pmWell, it's official opening is at the end of April, like WEDDING SINGER, so it should come out in late May/early June (like the Wedding Singer's recording). It won't be late April, most shows don't record until it's opening (with the exception of the Chorus Line revival).

I remember hearing they might be recording on their break between when they come back from San Fran and when they can start rehearsing in New York. Ithought it was weird, but it could happen.
Jacob, once again, I knwo you want lyrics and as I get time, i will do them. The more you ask, the more I just don't want to do them. You've posted about it five times in a day!

Demo: What You Want
ELLE
Wait a sec! This is the kind of girl Warner wants! Someone serious! Someone lawyer-ly! Someone who wears black when no one’s dead! Girls, I have a completely brand new plan.
What you want, Warner, what you want is me
But you need to see me in a new domain
But it’s plain, Warner, in a different setting,
You will see you’re getting all of this plus a brain!
I’ll meet you there at Harvard with a book in my hand
Big sturdy book, big wordy book, and full of words I’ll understand
And right there is where you’ll see it too
Warner, what you want is right in front of you.
CHORUS GIRLS
What you want (Me, it’s clear!)
What you want (Right here!)
What you want is right in front of you, front of you!
What you want (It’s clear)
What you want (Right here)
What you want is right in front of you, front of you!
ELLE
Step One: He’s off to Harvard Law,
Will I get in there, too?
Step Two: ???? recess,
Impress him with my high IQ.
Step Three: We’ll throw a great big wedding
And invite all Delta Nu!
GIRL
Wait! Nice plan! But did we think this through? Harvard Law School?
ELLE
I have a 4.0 average.
GIRL
Yeah, in fashion merchandising, what makes you think you can do this?
ELLE
Love! I’m doing this for love!
And love has seen me through!
With love on my side, I can’t lose!
And Harvard can’t refuse
A love so pure and true
Do lawyers feel love, too?
GIRL
Even if they do,
What you want, sweetheart, is no easy thing,
If you’re going to swing it,
It’ll wreck your senior spring
And it’s true, first you’ll need an LSAT score
Of more than 174
So no more parties for you
You’ll need a killer essay or do not even hope,
And lovely letters from your betters,
Any chance you know the Pope?
ELLE
Nope!
GIRL
Too bad, ‘cause that would be our cous!
Then you’ve got a lot of work in front of you!
CHORUS GIRLS
What you want (Yes I know)
What you want (Even so)
What you want is right in front of you, front of you!
What you want (Girl, you go!)
What you want (No, really, go!)
What you want is right in front of you, front of you!
MR. WOODS
Law school?
ELLE
Yes, Daddy, law school!
MR. WOODS
Good God, why? Law school is for boring ugly serious people, and you, button, are none of those things.
What you want, button,
Hey, just say the word,
But what you want’s absurd
And cost a whole lot of swag
And now why, button,
When you can stay right here,
Pursue a film career?
ELLE
How ‘bout a nice perfume bag?
MR. WOODS
Yes! The east coast is foreign,
There’s no film studios.
It’s cold and dark,
No valet parking
All the girls have different noses, Christ!
Honey, it’s like the damn frontier!
MR. AND MRS. WOODS
Tell me, what’s out there that you can’t get right here?
ELLE
Guys, love!
I’m going there for love!
A love I have to win!
I can live without sun and valet
I can’t just walk away
Betray what might have been
MR. WOODS
I don’t care, I’ll pay your way if you get in!
CHORUS GIRLS
What you want
What you want
What you want is right in front of you
[DIALOGUE]
ELLE
Love
I’m doing this for love
And that’s how I’ll survive
Here you go
I said no!
Right here is where I’ll stay
Until that happy day
That day I’ll hear them say
GIRL
175!
ELLE
175!
CHORUS
175!
[Cut to Harvard Admissions Office]
Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue…
MAN
Gentlemen, please, get a hold of yourselves! This is Harvard Law School, not Match.com. Oh, look at that, what a shame, she didn’t bother sending in a personal essay!
PILAR
How’s this for a personal essay?
CHORUS
What you want (Could this be!?)
What you want (Security!)
What you want is right in
MAN
Who are you?
ELLE
I’m what you want!
Harvard, I’m the girl for you
And to prove it’s true
CHORUS GIRLS
We all flew here on Jet Blue
ELLE
Thank you!
CHORUS GIRLS
This is what Elle Woods inspires
Everyone admires her
Harvard should, too.
MAN
This is not a personal essay!
CHORUS
An essay’s so boring and so much does not fit
So we’re appearing live right here
Making clear you must admit that Elle
Woods, she’s one of the chosen few!
Harvard, what you want is right in front of you!
[DANCE BREAK!!!!!]
MAN
Now, see here, Ms. Woods, you can’t just barge in here with singing and dancing and ethnic movement! Satisfying presentation, but I still don’t see one reason to admit you.
ELLE
How about… love?
Have you ever been in love?
Cause if you have, you’ll know
That love never accepts a defeat
No challenge it can’t beat
No place it cannot go
Don’t say no to love, honey,
Love!
Don’t act when I say love!
Don’t think that I’m naïve
Because even a person who’s smart
Can listen to their heart
Can listen and believe
So believe in what love can achieve
Do you believe?
MAN
I do!
ELLE
Do you believe?
MAN
Me, too!
CHORUS
Yes we believe in love
How ‘bout you?
MAN
Welcome to Harvard!
[Cheers]
CHORUS
What you want
What you want
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
What you want
What you want
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
What you want
What you want
What you want
What you want!

"I remember hearing they might be recording on their break between when they come back from San Fran and when they can start rehearsing in New York. Ithought it was weird, but it could happen. "
Successful as this show is bound to be thanks to it's good writing and Broadway.com's publicity stunt, I can pretty much guarantee they'll record over the break and have it out ASAP.

IRELAND
Love...
You're lost without your love
Your heart is on the floor
I can help you
I've been there before
When I need to relax
I just put on some tracks
From this CD I bought from the store
Dialogue: Isn't that relaxing? It's called "Celtic Moods"
When I'm lonely and feeling dejected
I play this and it never fails
I pretend like I'm in Ireland
With Enya and the whales
If my telephone gets disconnected
Or I spend every night alone
I pretend like I'm in Ireland
Where the Irish bagpipes drone
Smell the grass as the rainstorm is ending
People smile while I stroll past their farms
With my red-headed sailor named Brendan
And we dance without moving our arms
In a bar once, I met this guy Dewey
And he bought me, like, fourteen beers
And he told me that he was from Ireland
So I lived with him ten years
If I squinted he looked like my sailor
Through my boozy delusional fog
But he dumped me for some slut named Kayla
Took my trailer and took my dog
In Ireland they know how to love you,
You embrace in the misty Irish breeze
And if your Irish boy tires of you
You're allowed to shoot him in the knees
Say, you look like that poster for Ireland
Long blonde hair, and that sweet, sunny face
Oh no, wait. That's the poster for Sweden
Oh, screw it, I'll never see either place
But a girl sweet as you has the future
You have hope, as each new day dawns
Girls like you always get to see Ireland
Give my love to the leprechauns
[reprise]
The Irish, they're nothing if [...?]
They keeping fighting 'til everyone's dead
I'm not sure where this metaphor's going
I just felt that it had to be said
There's a guy at that party who loves you
Most of us never know how that feels
You go out there and you get some Ireland
And make sure you wear four-inch heels!

"From this CD I bought from the store"
From this CD I bought for the store
"But a girl sweet as you has the future"
But a girl sweet as you has a future
"The Irish, they're nothing if [...?]"
The Irish fear nothing and no one
"I just felt that it had to be said"
I just felt like it had to be said
