Ruthless Ruth Lyrics

Since I was a lassie, just a sweet young thing, all I truly longed to do was make up songs to sing
Ever since I was young, all I ever wanted to do was create beautiful music.

Sure my voice was rotten And had a pity twang But I had dreams, and in my dreams this is what I sang
Although my voice was not the best, I still had aspirations to create beautiful music, and I did so in my dreams.

Listen up, all you goons Listen up and hear my tunes Every line, boys, is mine So listen up
Listen up, everyone, because I have beautiful music to share with you all. Every line and every note is mine, so pay attention.

How I yearned to sing it Still I was afraid Guess I feared they call me weird And mocked the songs I made So I shut my PIE HOLE And hid my work away Rapunzel: But you had dreams Ruth: And in my dreams this is what I played
I longed to share my music with others, but I was afraid of being judged or mocked. I kept my music a secret and played it only in my dreams, but Rapunzel reminded me of my dreams and gave me confidence.

Listen up, if you please Listen to my melodies Rapunzel: Folks she wrote every note Both: So listen up
Please listen to my beautiful melodies. I wrote every note, and I want you all to pay attention and appreciate my art.

Ruth: I kept my song a secret But carved it on this club Waiting till the perfect moment came At last I worked the nerve up And stood before the pub I let one note come through my throat And then I died of shame And now I haunt this tavern suffering for my art Years and years of doubts and fears Rapunzel: It's time to heed your heart Ruth: I can end this curse now If I can end the song Vladimir: Like in your dreams Ruth: But in my dreams You ALL must sing along
I kept my music a secret for so long, but finally made the decision to share it with the world. Unfortunately, I was not well-received and died of shame. Now, I am cursed to haunt this tavern and suffer for my art. However, I can break this curse if I can end the song with everyone singing along, just like in my dreams.

Listen up, all you thugs lift your voices and your mugs Don't be shy, let it fly! Thugs: Listen up
Everyone, including the tough guys, should listen to my music and raise their voices and glasses. Don't be afraid to let it all out!

Big Nose: Listen up Attila: Listen here Foot: Raise the roof Shorty: And rock the house! Thugs: Make it loud, sing it proud, listen... Ruth: WAIT!
Everyone is getting too excited and needs to wait for me to begin the music again.

Captain: Listen up, listen close You're disgusting, old and gross! But your song is quite strong Listen up All: Listen up, listen up Everybody raise your cup Here's to Ruth, that's the truth Listen up Ruth: Listen up All: Listen up Ruth: Listen up All: Listen up
Even though some people disapprove of me and my music, my song is strong and worth listening to. Let's raise our glasses to Ruth, because she deserves our attention and respect.
