Fly!

[Kansas dorothy]
Excuse me, is it my turn?

[Casting director]
Not now, dorothy
Next!

Okay, you with the wings
What childhood trauma brought you here today?

[Flying monkey #1]
Growing up, I didn’t fit in with the other flying monkeys

[Flying monkey #1, flying monkey #2, flying monkeys, sung]
I could flap but couldn’t (fly)
Everybody else could (fly)
Don’t know why I couldn’t (fly!)

Thought my wings were such a (curse!)
And this had to be a (first!)
I would sit and wonder (why!)

So one lucky day when I met a wise (other!)
Who became my friend and my first drag (mother!)

And I showed her how to (tuck!)
And to walk that fucking (duck!)
And to suck it up, just (try!)

In that moment then I (found)
What had been keeping me (down)
And I lept into the (sky!)

I found a friend who understood
The power of drag and sisterhood
Now there’s no can’t, there’s only could, and
I have been changed
For better!
