"Don't Try to Part the Water" Musical number from "The Green Room"

Professor Peterson has convinced the drama department to present his clunker of a show "GOD SONGS" as the fall production. Divonne, Anna, Cliff and John are attempting to save the "red sea" number from disaster which opens in 5 minutes! The last part of the song is a "show within a show" as "GOD SONGS" is performed.

Lyrics:

ALL

THERE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN SKEPTICS
THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY,
AND SO IT WAS WHEN MOSES
APPROACHED THE COLD RED SEA.

CLIFF

I SEE YOU STANDING BY THAT BUSH

ANNA

NOW, GET THAT LIGHTER FLUID OFF IT

ALL

THE LAST THING THE WORLD NEEDS
IS A PYROMANIAC PROPHET.

DONT TRY TO PART THE WATER,
YOULL NEVER GET YOUR WISH
DONT TRY TO PART THE WATER,

DIVONNE

YOULL ONLY KILL THE FISH

ALL

YOURE SUCH A MYSTIC,
BE REALISTIC,
YOULL NEVER PART THAT H 2 0, MO,
YOULL NEVER PART THAT H 2 0

ITS NOT THE TIME FOR METAPHYSICS
WERE CLEARLY REALLY IN A JAM
BUT WE CAN STILL FOLLOW THE COASTLINE
COME ON NOW, LETS TAKE IT ON THE LAMB

CLIFF

NO PUN INTENDED, JUST

ALL

DONT TRY TO PART THE WATER,
NOT EVEN ON A DARE,
DONT TRY TO PART THE WATER,

ANNA

YOU CAN BARELY PART YOUR HAIR!

ALL

YOURE SUCH A MYSTIC,
BE REALISTIC,
YOULL NEVER PART THAT H 2 0, MO,
YOULL NEVER PART THAT H 2 0.

STAGE MANAGER (V.O.)

Places everyone, places! Bring in the curtain.

(They all do one final adjustment to their costumes and rush off stage.)

(MUSIC STARTS)

(The lights cross fade and they step downstage and are NOW in the performance. The lights go dim on the green room set.)

I NEVER WAS FOND OF MILK AND HONEY
ID JUST AS SOON HAVE BOYSENBERRY JAM
IM SURE THAT WE CAN CROSS THIS WATER!
BUT NOT WITHOUT A HYDRO-POWERED DAM!

CLIFF

EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE, JUST

ALL

DONT TRY TO PART THE WATER,
WELL NEVER MAKE IT THROUGH
DONT TRY TO PART THE WATER,

JOHN

OY VEY, YOURE SUCH A JEW,

ANNA, CLIFF AND JOHN

AND SUCH A MYSTIC,
BE REALISTIC,

ALL

YOULL NEVER PART THAT H 2 0, MO,
YOULL NEVER PART THAT H 2 0, MO,
YOULL NEVER PART THAT H 2 0
