Prince of Thieves
All:
When the sun comes up each day I wonder what things are to be
And I ask myself if I am to succeed
So I look for answers here and then I look for answers there
‘Till I realize the answer’s in me.
If I’m stuck on some equation of mathematical degree
And at first it seems to make sense, not one bit.
So I ask for help but still I feel I’m in a foreign land
Till I reason it myself and make it fit.
Believe, believe, believe in you
You’ll see things work out mostly for the best.
Believe, believe , believe in you
You’ll find faith in yourself that meets the test.
When the sun comes up each day I wonder what things are to be
And I ask myself if I am to succeed
So I look for answers here and then I look for answers there
‘Till I realize the answer’s in me.
Believe, believe, believe in you
You’ll see things work out mostly for the best.
Believe, believe , believe in you
You’ll find faith in yourself that meets the test

To keep us safe from day to day
It’s Robin Hood
Robin Hood
The Prince of thieves
Shining Star (Reprise)
Randy:
Did I hear what I thought I heard? I’m not exactly sure.
It sounded like some kids were here, with motives less than pure.
I need your help to validate the things I thought I heard.
I have to be quite sure that what I thought I heard occurred.
It sounded like these kids had offered up a nasty deed.
A deed conceived with wicked spite, maliciousness and greed.
To make it seem that Isabelle had acted less than fine.
And for the very first time ever take a misstep out of line.
I think that one was Stacy, yes, and Peter I’m quite sure.
And who? Oh, yes, one was ___________________(Lindsey.)
It’s curtain time for Peter, yes and Stacy so demure.
And who? Oh, yes, time for ___________________ (Lindsey.)
It’s time to pay the piper, time to step up to the plate.
It’s time to make things right and to substantiate their fate.
The jury’s found them guilty-- Stacy , Peter and their mate--
Who’s that? Oh, yes, that is ______________________ (Lindsey.)
It’s time to pay the piper, time to step up to the plate.
It’s time to make things right and to substantiate their fate.
The jury’s found them guilty-- Stacy , Peter and their mate--
Who’s that? Oh, yes, that is ______________________ (Lindsey.)
That is ______________________ (Lindsey.)
That is ______________________ (Lindsey.)

Shining Star
When young I used to put on shows for family and friends
“Bravo!” they’d cheer “How fabulous!” This show must never end.
But I pursued another path ...became an engineer.
And yet I’m drawn upon the stage, my talents to revere.
I’ve shared my gifts theatrical with Lindsey my dear girl.
And through her I still hear applause and accolades unfurl.
And that is why dear Principal you must not shirk your due.
A shining star is in the wings and waiting to prove true.
My voice is just like Barbara S- and Liza with a Z-
And, oh yes, so is Lindsey’s.
Ms. Streep had flair for pathos which is tethered close with mine.
And, oh yes, so with Lindsey’s.
I dance just like Baryshnikov had he been born a girl.
I flair with sense of stage that sends the crowd into swirl.
A shining star it’s true I am in every means and way.
And oh yes, so is Lindsey.
I dance just like Baryshnikov had he been born a girl.
I flair with sense of stage that sends the crowd to swirl.
A shining star it’s true I am in every means and way.
And oh yes, so is Lindsey.
So is Lindsey.
So is Lindsey.
Sherwood Forest
Sherwood Forest
Ronnie:
The deer run free and so do we in Sherwood Forest
A place where good folk have no fear to roam.
Where Little John and Friar Tuck will make you welcome
I’m sure that soon you’d call our camp your home.
Isabelle:
What is it though attracts you so to Sherwood Forest
It must get cold and damp at winter’s eve
And how you find your way around I can’t imagine
Living here I scarcely can conceive.
Ronnie:
Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Forest ..a symbol of what’s good in everyone
Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Forest--a place where every evil is finally undone.
Ronnie and Isabelle:
Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Forest ..a symbol of what’s good in everyone
Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Forest--a place where every evil is finally undone.
Ronnie:
We rob the rich to help the poor in Sherwood Forest
To equalize each lot in life’s our aim
Isabelle:
What’s right is right and fair is fair in Sherwood Forest
I think I’d like to join with you, my mission is the same
Ronnie and Isabelle:
Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Forest ..a symbol of what’s good in everyone
Sherwood Forest, Sherwood Forest--a place where every evil is finally undone.
A Step Out Of Line
Stacy:
She’s so perfect, sweet and nice
It almost makes you ill
Peter:
So polite and lily white
A parent’s dream fulfilled
Lindsey:
Temptation here, temptation there
And still she takes the high road
Stacy:
We’ll have to help Miss Isabelle
Fall from her lofty plateau
ALL:
We’ll have to help Miss Isabelle
Fall from her lofty plateau
A step out of line
A moral decline
We have to show dear Isabelle
A step out of line
(Peter starts clapping. All join.)
A step out of line
A moral decline
We have to show dear Isabelle
A step out of line
Step out of line
Step out of line
Step out of line
Make Me Look Good
Pluker:
Put on your play
Have all your fun
Be well behaved
Don’t be outdone
But most all, “make me lookay good” “make me look good”
Learn all your lines
Sing loud and clear
Dance all your steps
Crowds they will cheer.
And most all, “make me look good” “make me look good”
I love it when I win a prize.
It makes me almost drool.
The fact is when I win a prize
I feel I am so cool.
So learn all your lines.
Yum Yum Yum Yum (As he proceeds to eat the trophy)
Dance all your steps
Yum Yum Yum Yum
And most of all “make me look good” “yum yum yum yum” “make me look good”
The Lead
Lindsey:
No small parts, but just small actors
Buy that if you choose
But when you play the lead my friend
You never sing the blues
ALL:
You never sing the blues
Lindsey:
Oh how much fun it was to sing
In Hooverville “Thanks Herb!”
But I’d as soon miss out and sing
“Tomorrow” “How superb!”
ALL:
“Tomorrow” “How superb!”
Stacy:
And O-O-O-O-O-klahoma
With it’s wind sweepin’ down the plains
Is lots of fun but when it’s done
“It’s Laurie’s voice remains
ALL:
It’s Laurie’s voice remains
Peter:
And all them boys a pickin’ pockets
“You got to pick a pocket or two!”
Can clear away and take a seat
When Oliver’s in view
ALL:
When Oliver’s in view
All:
You may enjoy commaradarie
And all that it entails
But when the lights go down my friend
It’s me who must prevail
It’s me who must prevail
Lindsey:
And when it comes to Sherwood Forest
The story is the same
For I was born to play the lead
Maid Marian’s my name
ALL:
Maid Marian’s my (her) name
ALL:
No small parts, but just small actors
Buy that and you lose
And I was born to play the lead
It’s me they have to choose
It’s me they have to choose
It’s me they have to choose
Song: Half A Pair
Harry:
It would be like drinking milk without a cookie.
Ali:
It would be like bowling strikes without a spare...
Harry:
Like a baseball game without a center fielder
Both:
And without Diane ---Sam is half a pair.
Ali:
3PO without the little robot
Harry:
An oboe squeak without a trumpet blare
Ali:
Butch Cassidy without the kid from Sundance.
Both:
Sam without Diane..that’s half a pair
ALL:
Diane’s wise cracks...her fast jabs leave Sam on the ropes.
But Sam waits for the perfect spot and punch-lines all the jokes
Ali & Harry:
It would be Huck Finn without his pal Tom Sawyer
Juliet without her handsome Romeo
It would be like Cain without his brother Abel
Ali:
Without Diane, Sam is half a pair.
Harry:
Without Diane, Sam’s just half a pair.
ALL:
Yes, without Diane, Sam is half a pair.
Song: Another Day At Dayton
As kids enter:
Ali:
It’s a downright typical any old day ....it’s any old day at Dayton
Where we all fit perfectly here or fit there ...or any which-where at our school.
There are kids we’ve met who have come from all over the world…to Dayton
And it’s really great! When we all learn together it’s fun!
ALL:
It’s a downright typical, any old day ....it’s any old day at Dayton
Where we all fit perfectly here or fit there. And working together is fun!.
Ali:
Working together is fun!
