But each other

It's Nick (And Nigel Bottom)

There's nothing as amazing as a musical

With song and dance and sweet romance

And happy ending happening by happenstance

And you'll see, it will be only the beginning

This glorious creation called a musical

And living the dream

Everything is new

Welcome to America

[NICK]

Land of opportunity!
