Dreamgirls (Original London Cast Recording)

2017

[THE DREAMS]
I'm somebody somebody
And nobody's gonna hold me down
[ANNOUNCER]
Thank you, Chicago! Deena Jones and the Dreams!
[THE DREAMS]
No, nobody nobody nobody's gonna hold me down
I'm somebody
[C.C., spoken]
Hello, Wayne. Is Curtis around?
[WAYNE, spoken]
C.C., you know no one's admitted backstage.
[C.C., spoken]
Look, we've got something to settle. Now go find him.
[MARTY, spoken]
Tell him some old friends are here.
[C.C., spoken]
He knows what it's about. Go find him.
[SECURITY GUARD, spoken]
I can't do that.
[C.C., spoken]
Well, I'll just go find him myself.
[SECURITY GUARD, spoken]
Hey, you can't go back there!
[C.C., MARTY, AND MR. MORGAN]
You can't keep us out!
[CURTIS]
It's okay, Wayne, I can handle this
[MARTY]
Come on, Curtis, let's see you try!
[CURTIS]
Well, Marty, it's been a long time
[MARTY]
And, Curtis, you're still a second-class snake!
[CURTIS]
(spoken)
Heh.
(sung)
Gentlemen, please, give me a break!
[EFFIE]
Why, Curtis, did you give me one?
[C.C.]
I could kill you, Curtis, for what you've done!
[EFFIE]
C.C., I'll handle this!
Curtis, how could you do something so wrong?
You have no right stoppin' my song!
[CURTIS]
Stop it, Effie, you got no claim!
[EFFIE]
After all these years
And you're still the same
You never believed in me
You never believed in me
But I believed in me
I went out and made it on my own
And now I have the best chance I've ever known
And you're not taking it away
This time I know what to do
This is Mr. Morgan, my lawyer
And he wants to talk to you
[CURTIS, spoken]
Gentlemen, can we discuss this somewhere more private?
[MR. MORGAN, spoken]
Miss White, aren't you coming?
[EFFIE]
No
I wanna stay and talk
I wanna talk to the great Miss Jones
