[Part 1: The Astounding Romantic Adventures of Goya]
[All Vocals in Part 1 by most of the Chorus/Cast]
For Part 1: LEGEND: [Female Chorus], (Male Chorus), -Full Chorus-
[Verse 1]
(The Astounding Romantic Adventures of Goya
Performed by a Traveling Troupe from Cádiz
It's a Sobering tale and some parts may annoy ya
But don't go away; if you're wondering if Goya's amongst us, he is.)
[Saragossa, where the boy was born
From his mother, he was rudely torn
At that moment, he was most forlorn
Having no-one to love and adore.]
-Education- [???]
-Little Portraits- [he would learn to draw]
-But he made them with no single flaw
And now happier days are in store-
(There's a lady whom he soon acquaints
With the dazzling way in which he paints
And the lady, overwhelmed, she faints)
-and we don't have to say any more!
La-la!!
Goya discovers the garden of bliss
Finds paradise in his very first kiss
Not much could ever be better than this
Goya with Missus or Miss
Goya in love, he's in love, with his lover, that is
With one snap, he's down in the deepest abyss
Goya discovers the garden of bliss.-
[Verse 2]
(Amazing Romantic Adventure continues
With Goya now hungry for more of the same
With His heart and his blood and his muscles and sinews
He hunts and he paints and he waits for a chance to get into the game.)
[And then slowly, as a Snail would crawl
He is noticed by hanging on the wall
By a duchess, whose respect is all,]
-and she's ready to make a bid-
(Will he see her?) [Will he come to Rome]
(and escort her) [back to Spain at home?]
(Will he paint her?) [Either bare or Clothed?]
-We will pick up the tale in Madrid!
-Welcome to Sunny and Funny Madrid
Here we don't care what you formerly did
If you have one illegitimate kid
Claim to have written El Cid
Nobody thinks it's his business to know in Madrid
Just make a**ureD that the body is hid
That's how we'd like it to be in Madrid.-
(The duchess he loved was the friend of a duchess)
-and that one in fact was a friend of the Queen.-
(So exhausted from work that he painted on crutches
The Goya we know)-knew that royalty loves most of all to be seen.-
[He then tranced them], (as he drew the head)
[he romanced them] (in his studio bed)
[and he danced them, (every dance he led)
-Take the Money and get away clean!
La-la!
Now we're in Seventeen-Seventy-One
Goya's Romantic Career has begun
So far he's secretly fathered a son
Slept with a Carmelite nun
Slowly destroying his body with all he has done
And He'll shoo romantics convinced he's the one ???
Goya in Seventeen-Seventy
Goya in Seventeen-Seventy
Goya in Seventeen-Seventy-One!-

Appear but uptightful and frightfully tame
[Male Chorus]
Compared to the Wooing of Women of Fame
[Domingo and Chorus]
In the middle of the 18th Century...
La-La, la, la

Be they Austrians, Spaniards, Italians or Czechs
Our one common problem with these Madames X?
[Plácido Domingo]
...is how to make love while they're breaking our necks!
[Domingo and Chorus]
In the middle of the 18th Century...
La-La, la, la
Lalala, lalala, la!
[Chorus]
Dangerous Love, born of romance
Strategies planned as we make our advance
[Male Chorus]

[Plácido Domingo]
With our parts all aflutter
Sweet nothings we utter
Our minds in the gutter
Their husbands, in France!
[Female Chorus]
With Conchita, Juanita, Helena and Len
Together in bed, one can ??? with arms spread???
[Plácido Domingo]
...and be happily dying a Gentleman's d**h!

La-La, la, la
Lalala, lalala, la!
[Plácido Domingo and Male Chorus]
Dangerous Love, romantic war
[Female Chorus]
Under the Staircase, and back out the door
[Male Chorus]
After each battle, we want only more!
[Plácido Domingo and Full Chorus]
Every heart, we'll be breaking
As love we'll be taking
[Full Chorus, without Plácido Domingo]
And afterwards making our peace as we snore!
[Plácido Domingo]
If you're footloose and easy at age Twenty-Five
And don't really care whether you will survive
There's no better time to be young and alive...
Than in the middle of...
[Full Chorus]
In the middle of, in the middle of--
[Plácido Domingo]
The 18th..... Ceeeeeeentury!
[Full Cast, without Plácido Domingo]
