Beautiful
Heathers The Musical
[Veronica]
September 1st, 1989
Dear diary
I believe I'm a good person
You know, I think that there's good in everyone
But here we are! First day of senior year!
And uh, I look around at these kids that I've known all my life
And I ask myself: What happened?
[Kids]
Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-eyes! Poser! Lard-ass!
[Veronica]
We were so tiny, happy, and shiny
Playing tag and getting chased
[Kids]
Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!
[Veronica]
Singing and clapping, laughing and napping
Baking cookies, eating paste
[Kids]
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!
[Veronica]
Then we got bigger, that was the trigger
Like the Huns invading Rome
Oh, sorry!
Welcome to my school, this ain't no high school
This is the Thunderdome
Hold your breath and count the days, we're graduating soon
[Kids]
White trash!
[Veronica]
College will be paradise, if I'm not dead by June!
But I know, I know, life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray for a better way
If we changed back then, we could change again
We can be beautiful
[Hipster dork]
Ow!
[Veronica]
Just not today
Hey, are you okay?
[Hipster dork]
Get away, nerd
[Veronica]
Oh, okay
[Kids]
Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!
[Veronica]
Things will get better soon as my letter
Comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown
Wake from this coma, take my diploma
Then I can blow this town
Dream of ivy-covered walls and smoky French cafés
[Ram]
Watch it!
[Veronica]
Fight the urge to strike a match and set this dump ablaze!
[Ram]
Oops
[Veronica]
Ram Sweeney, third year as linebacker and eighth year
Of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick
[Ram]
What did you say to me, skank?
[Veronica]
Aah, nothing!
But I know, I know
(I know, I know)
Life can be beautiful
(Beautiful)
I pray, I pray
(I pray, I pray)
For a better way
(For a better way)
We were kind before
(Ooh)
We can be kind once more
(Ooh)
We can be beautiful
(Ooh, beautiful)
[Veronica]
Agh! Hey, Martha
[Martha]
Hey
[Veronica]
Martha Dunnstock, my best friend since diapers
[Martha]
We on for movie night?
[Veronica]
Yeah, you're on Jiffy Pop detail
[Martha]
I rented The Princess Bride
[Veronica]
Ho-ho-ho, again? Wait, don't you have it memorized by now?
[Martha]
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending
[Kurt]
Martha Dumptruck! Wide load! Honk!
[Kurt]
Haha!
[Veronica]
Kurt Kelly, quarterback
He is the smartest guy on the football team
Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf
[Kurt]
Haha! Alright!
[Veronica]
Hey! Pick that up! Right now!
[Kurt]
I'm sorry, are you actually talking to me?
[Veronica]
Yes, I am
I wanna know what gives you the right to pick on my friend
You're a high school has-been waiting to happen
A future gas station attendant
[Kurt]
You have a zit right there
[Veronica]
Dear diary
Why?
[Hipster dork]
Why do they hate me?
[Republican girl]
Why don’t I fight back?
[Kurt]
Why do I act like such a creep?
[Veronica]
Why?
[Martha]
Why won’t he date me?
[Ram]
Why did I hit him?
[Stoner chick, Ms. Fleming & blow-dried preppy]
Why do I cry myself to sleep?
[Veronica]
Why?
[Kids]
Somebody hug me!
Somebody fix me!
Somebody save me!
[Kids & Veronica]
Send me a sign, God!
Give me some hope, here!
Something to live for!
[Kids]
Ah! Heather, Heather, and Heather!
[Veronica]
And then there's the Heathers
They float above it all
[Kids]
I love Heather, Heather, and Heather
[Veronica]
Heather McNamara, head cheerleader
Her dad is loaded, he sells engagement rings
(I hate Heather, Heather, and Heather)
Heather Duke, runs the yearbook
No discernible personality, but her mom did pay for implants
(I want Heather, Heather, and Heather)
And Heather Chandler, the almighty
She is a mythic bitch
(I need Heather, Heather)
[Veronica]
They're solid Teflon, never bothered, never harassed
I would give anything to be like that
[Kids]
Mm
[Hipster dork]
I'd like to be their boyfriend
[Kids]
That would be beautiful
Mm
[Stoner chick]
If I sat at their table, guys would notice me
[Kids]
So beautiful
Ooh
[Martha]
I'd like them to be nicer
[Kids]
That would be beautiful
Ooh
[Beleaguered geek]
I'd like to kidnap a Heather and photograph her naked
In an abandoned warehouse and leave her tied up for the rats
[Heather Chandler]
Grow up, Heather
Bulimia is so '87
[Heather McNamara]
Maybe you should see a doctor, Heather
[Heather Duke]
Yeah, Heather, maybe I should
[Ms. Fleming]
Ah, Heather and Heather
And Heather
Perhaps you didn't hear the bell over all the vomiting
You're late for class
[Heather Chandler]
Heather wasn't feeling well
We're helping her
[Ms. Fleming]
Not without a hall pass, you're not
Week's detention
[Veronica]
Um, actually, Ms. Fleming
All four of us are out on a hall pass
Yearbook committee
[Ms. Fleming]
I see you're all listed
Hurry up and get where you're going
[Heather Chandler]
This is an excellent forgery
Who are you?
[Veronica]
Uh, Veronica Sawyer
I crave a boon
[Heather Chandler]
What boon?
[Veronica]
Um, let me sit at your table, at lunch, just once
No talking necessary
If people think that you guys tolerate me
Then they'll leave me alone
Before you answer, I also do report cards
Permission slips, and absence notes
[Heather Duke]
How about prescriptions?
[Heather Chandler]
Shut up, Heather
[Heather Duke]
Sorry, Heather
[Heather Chandler]
For a greasy little nobody, you do have good bone structure
[Heather McNamara]
And a symmetrical face
If I took a meat cleaver down the center of your skull
I'd have matching halves
That's very important
[Heather Duke]
Of course, you could stand to lose a few pounds
[Heather Chandler]
And ya know, ya know, ya know?
This could be beautiful
Mascara, maybe some lip gloss
And we're on our way
Get this girl some blush
And Heather, I need your brush
Let's make her beautiful
[Heather Duke]
Let's make her beautiful
[Heather McNamara]
Let's make her beautiful
[Heather Chandler]
Make her beautiful
Okay?
[Veronica]
Okay!
[Kurt]
Out of my way, geek!
[Beleaguered geek]
I don't want trouble
[Ram]
You're gonna die at 3 PM!
[Republicanette & New Wave Girl]
Don't you dare touch me! Get away, pervert!
[Beleaguered geek]
What did I ever do to them?
[Kids]
Who could survive this?
I can't escape this!
I think I'm dying!
[Ms. Fleming]
Who's that with Heather?
[Kids]
Whoa
Heather, Heather, Heather
[New Wave Girl]
And someone!
[Kids]
Heather, Heather, Heather
[Gowan & Coach]
And a babe!
[Kids]
Heather, Heather, Heather
[Martha]
Veronica?!
[Kids]
Veronica? Veronica? Veronica!
[Veronica]
And you know, you know, you know
(Ooh!)
Life can be beautiful
(Aah! Beautiful!)
You hope, you dream, you pray
(Ooh!)
And you get your way!
(Aah!)
Ask me how it feels
(Beautiful!)
Lookin' like hell on wheels
(Ooh!)
My God, it's beautiful!
(Aah! Beautiful!)
I might be beautiful
(Beautiful!)
And when you're beautiful
(Aah!)
[Veronica]
It's a beautiful frickin' day!
[Kids]
Heather! Heather! Heather! Veronica!
Heather! Heather! Heather! Veronica!
Veronica! Veronica! Veronica!
Veronica!
