Coraline Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording

[Miss Spink]
I am Miss Spink
[Miss Forcible]
And I am Miss Forcible
[Miss Spink, Miss Forcible]
Elderly thespians fallen from grace
[Miss Spink]
We never married
[Miss Forcible]
So we're undivorceable
[Miss Spink]
Tripping
[Miss Forcible]
On clippings
[Miss Spink, Miss Forcible]
All over the place
[Miss Forcible]
Fact is we're actresses
[Miss Spink]
Famous tragediennes
[Miss Forcible]
Lately retired
[Miss Spink]
To stay home and bake,
[Miss Forcible]
Raise Highland terriers,
[Miss Spink]
And help the needy
[Miss Forcible]
Ensconced in suburbia
[Miss Spink, Miss Forcible]
Try the fruitcake
[Miss Spink]
Where there's a terrier
[Miss Forcible]
The more the merrier
[Miss Spink]
Meet Hamish
[Miss Forcible]
Andrew
[Miss Spink]
Jock
[Miss Forcible]
Angus
[Miss Spink, Miss Forcible]
And...BRUCE!
[Miss Spink]
Feel free to give him a kick in the derrière
Don't give him a fruitcake, his tummy is loose
I am Miss Spink
[Miss Forcible]
And I am Miss Forcible
[Miss Spink, Miss Forcible]
Elderly thespians fallen from grace...
We trod the boards, and hordes...
We never married, so we're undivorceable,...
Of men'd send showers of flowers...
Tripping on clippings all over the place...
But men are but men
Fact is we're actresses, famous tragediennes
Lately retired to stay home and bake,
We were pursued by rude...raise Highland
Terriers, and help the needy, en–...and nice,
Twice! We got a lot of...sconced in suburbia
Try the fruitcake...terriers then
Where there's a terrier, the more the merrier
Meet Hamish, Andrew, Jock, Angus, and
BRUCE!...Jock is the one who run-...
Feel free to give him a kick in the derrière...
ches on bon-bons of poo, luv.
Don't give him fruitcake, his tummy is loose...
He's at it again!
