Faint Lyrics by Original Off Broadway Cast of Penelope

Penelope

2022

[TELEMACHUS, spoken]
Well, it's a little embarrassing to admit, especially as the son of Odysseus!
Even looking at your apron, I start to... feel something
[DAPHNE, spoken]
You feel something when you look at me?
[TELEMACHUS, spoken]
I trust you not to tell anyone!
[DAPHNE, spoken]
Of course! Tell me how you feel!
[TELEMACHUS, spoken]
Okay, here goes
[Sung]
I'm sure I could be a great warrior
I'd kill with no constraint
But I have this one little problem
At the sight of blood
[Spoken]
I fai...
[DAPHNE, spoken]
What was that?
[TELEMACHUS, spoken]
I fai...
[DAPHNE]
I can't understand you when you sound so faint
[TELEMACHUS]
For as long as I can remember
I've had the same complaint
Couldn't even smush a small spider
When I saw his blood
I'd faint!
[DAPHNE, spoken]
You mean feint likе fake left and go right?
[TELEMACHUS, spoken]
No, I mean likе - oooh! Pbblt
[Sung]
And when your father has a reputation
For slaughtering and widespread devastation
It can be an awkward situation
For his son to have this limitation
[DAPHNE]
I think
Now I have the big picture
You tried your best to paint
You have what you see as a problem
When you see blood
You faint
[PIGS]
(Snickering)
[TELEMACHUS, spoken]
Are those pigs laughing at me?
[DAPHNE, spoken]
No, that's the sound they make when they're hungry
Stop it!
[Sung]
I can see your point
It can't be easy
To kill in cold blood when blood makes you queasy
[TELEMACHUS]
I could stab a body 'til its shredded
If it didn't make me so light-headed
[TELEMACHUS AND DAPHNE]
And when your father has a reputation
For slaughtering and widespread devastation
Can't imagine the humiliation
When people find that you're his relation
[DAPHNE]
Trust me, it's not such a big problem
In fact, I find it quaint
That you're so in touch with your feelings
Every now and then
You faint
Let me just say, I like it immensely
Everything you feel, you feel so intensely
[TELEMACHUS]
Though others might not find it a bother
Need I mention one more time, who's my father?
[TELEMACHUS AND DAPHNE]
And when your father has a reputation
For slaughtering and widespread devastation
Can't imagine all of the frustration
Dealing with this incapacitation
[TELEMACHUS]
I wish I could be like my father
It's not like I'm a saint
But I have this one little problem
[DAPHNE]
I feel for you and your problem
At the sight of blood
At the sight of blood
[TELEMACHUS]
Please stop saying blood
[DAPHNE]
No more talk of blood
[TELEMACHUS]
You're still saying blood
[DAPHNE]
...Faint!
