Barry Is Going to Prom Lyrics by Brooks Ashmanskas

The Prom: A New Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2019

[BARRY]
I'm oddly excited
Perhaps that’s because
Although it shouldn't matter
It somehow does
It's strange but
I feel like I’m in a time machine
'Cause guess what
It's like I'm suddenly seventeen
So book a white limo
Uncork the Dom
After twenty-nine years I am finally going to prom
I once thought
A night like this wasn't in the cards
Now I've got a date, a tux
And the whole nine yards
A rational person
Would just stay calm
Oh, since when am I rational?
Barry is going to prom
The prom!
I wish I could tell that sad kid I was
Just stop crying into his Cheetos
They say it gets better
Guess what, it does
Who cares if you're a big old girl
Just get into that gym
And twirl
Barry's going to the
To the freaking prom!
Going to the prom
In showbiz I’ve never felt such a thrill divine
My date is a high school lesbian
Still it’s fine
And though it's been years
I might call my mom
And tell her that though it’s overdue
All of my waiting is over too
And if you're not happy I'm over you
'Cause Barry
Yes Barry
Look at me mom!
Barry’s going to
Prom!
