We Need A Plan Lyrics by Original Off Broadway Cast of Penelope

Penelope

2022

[TELEMACHUS, spoken]
But now that you're here
There won't be any need for a contest!
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
There won't?
[TELEMACHUS]
You and I can take care of these villains right now!
[ODYSSEUS]
Right now?
[TELEMACHUS]
Mhm!
[Sung]
Let's go inside right now at once and kill them while we can
[ODYSSEUS]
You want me to go in?
{TELEMACHUS]
Right now!
[ODYSSEUS]
No way, we need a plan!
[TELEMACHUS]
Whyever would we need a plan?
There's nothing simpler than
To run them through
[ODYSSEUS]
Not what I'd do
I'll tell you why
Who likes to die?
We must be sly
So you and I should really have a plan
[TELEMACHUS]
I don't understand
I thought you were brave
[ODYSSEUS]
You thought I was brave?
I'm not brave
The people who die first
Are the brave
I'm more the type who's cunning, and smart!
[TELEMACHUS]
Then what do we do?
[ODYSSEUS]
I don't have a clue
But it has to be sneaky for a start
You need the tactic of surprise
For all successful raids
[TELEMACHUS]
It's twenty years
They think you're dead
We have surprise in spades
If we go in there side by side we'll slaughter every man!
[ODYSSEUS]
Am I not clear?
I have no spear
No sword or bow
[TELEMACHUS]
No weapons?
[ODYSSEUS]
No
No weapons
[TELEMACHUS]
Oh
I guess we need a plan
[ODYSSEUS]
How's this for a plan?
I'll pretend I'm the blind poet Homer
[TELEMACHUS]
What?
[ODYSSEUS]
I'll wear a cloak and I'll stoop
[TELEMACHUS]
Uhhh....
[ODYSSEUS]
Homer's always been a bit of a roamer
And people love to know the latest scoop
[TELEMACHUS]
Aah-
[ODYSSEUS]
Homer always keeps them in the loop!
Then late at night, I'll take out my lyre
And sing to them by the blazing fire
A song to suggest their plight is dire
They'll retire to bed, feeling nervous and low
And when morning comes, time to string the bow
They'll laugh when old Homer has a go
They won't believe their eyes by the time they realize
I'm Odysseus in disguise!
They'll all be dead!
How's that for a surprise?
[TELEMACHUS]
That does sound like a clever plan!
[ODYSSEUS]
It should work like a dream
Penelope can't know it's me, she might upset the scheme!
But if we're faithful to the plan, then this I guarantee
These men will quail once we prevail
And none will live to tell the tale
Two I will hang the rest impale
And if we fail
[TELEMACHUS]
Wait! We could fail?
[ODYSSEUS]
Sometimes you fail
[TELEMACHUS]
No! We can't fail!
[ODYSSEUS]
You're looking pale
[TELEMACHUS]
Of course I'm pale!
What if we fail...
[ODYSSEUS]
...A small detail
[TELEMACHUS]
Oh, God...
[ODYSSEUS]
Don't worry!
I'll come up with plan B!
