Lyrics - Scottish Opera

Recit 2: The Story’s the ThingLibby is meanwhile elsewhere in the mansion looking exasperated. Dee notices her.DEESveetie, darlink, luvvie, a kizz, mvah, mvah.I cannot vait to read your darlink opera.Sveetie, darlink, baby, so talented, so unique.Now is zere a teeny tiny part for little old me?LIBBYIt’s easy for you but there’s pressure don’t you know?So many greats whose wonder casts a dark shadow.An opera can’t be rushed, you need time, creative flow,It took Beethoven 11 years to write Fidelio.DEEMozart wrote his first opera at the tender age of twelve.Use your imagination, into your heart you must now delve.A fabulous new show is ze only zing we seek.Rossini wrote Barber of Seville in under 2 weeks.LIBBYI… can’t….Think.I can’t write.The story is the thing.And I need oneTonight.
