Euphony

Sometimes sounds just make your ears feel good.
Aunt Lottie (excerpt)

SURE AS MIDNIGHT TIME, THE DAY WILL FOLLOW.
A QUEEN BECOMES A CLOWN.
SURE AS SPITE’S A BITTER SWILL TO SWALLOW,
​LOTTIE CHOKED IT DOWN.
   Aunt Lottie - clip (from The Rocking Horse Winner) Lyrics by David Rackoff, Music by Sahara Sunday Spain

Yell to the Heavens (excerpt)

YELL TO THE HEAVENS "
A LOO-LEE-LOO",
"A LOO-LEE-LOO" WILL DROWN THEIR SCREAMS.
"LOO-LEE" AND ONLY "A LOO-LEE-LOO"
​WILL HAUNT THEIR DREAMS.
   Yell to the Heavens - clip (from The Tyrant of Wonderland) Lyrics by David Rackoff, Music by Sahara Sunday Spain

Tinkertoys reprise (excerpt)

WE’LL SCRUB THE FLOORS AND GILD THE WALLS,
AND GIVE THEIR CHILDREN GOLDEN DOLLS,
AND HAND OUT HAND-MADE PARASOLS
TO TWIRL.

A TUFFET WHERE WE TWO CAN SIT,
MY PRETTY HUSBAND WITH HIS PRET-
​TY GIRL.
   Tinkertoys reprise - clip (from The Rocking Horse Winner) Lyrics by David Rackoff, Music by Sahara Sunday Spain

Nothing Like Broadway (excerpt)

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BROADWAY,
​KID, NOTHING SO GRAND.
WHERE EACH PURPLE FEATHER IS PERFECTLY FANNED.
   Nothing Like Broadway - clip (from Nothing Like Broadway!) Music & lyrics by David Rackoff
