A Powerful Thing - Gregory Harrison/Ronn Carroll

作词：John Kander/Fred Ebb

作曲：John Kander/Fred Ebb

When i was a toddler

Daddy took the strap

And said i'm gonna teach you son

How not to grow up like a sap

And every time he whacked me

This message came across

Don't ever be an employee

Always be the boss

And walker can't you tell

I learned my lesson well

When i say dance

Watch 'em dance

When i say stop

See them stop

When i say sing

Hear them sing

Power is a wonderful thing

Yes boss i agree

You certainly overpower me

When i say laugh

Hear 'em laugh

When i say weep

Watch 'em weep

When i want noise

Bells will ring

Power is a beautiful thing:

Take rita for example

She made all the magazines

'Cause when lindy landed home

From france

She kissed him first

But not by chance

I staged that happy circumstance

The first of many brilliant routines

Now i know what humility means

So if i smile say hello

But if i'm bored off you go

If i say jump up you'll spring

'Cause i've got power

You've got power

Lots of power

Tons of power

And power is a powerful thing

Take you for example

You're an honest man

I guess

But when i say lie

I lie

When i say cheat

I cheat

When i say steal

I steal

And what do you say

Yes

Say it again

Yes

Louder please

Yes

So here's the deal

Good old sport

I'm the star you support

If i'm mad you'll feel my sting

I'll kneel down and kiss your ring

'Cause you're the subject

And i'm the king

But power corrupts

So i'm corruptible

Power destroys

But i'm indestructible

It's a fact that

Power is a powerful thing

Walker sit down
