At the Ball
[TALLULAH]
Skirts that billow, sleeves that tie
Are the only things to wear at the ball
Tease your hair up three feet high
If you want to show your flair at the ball

[SAGI]
Why wear what those stuffy girls are wearing?
I think seaweed wraps are quite the height of style
Pineapple is naturally daring
Wear a fruit cup and a smile
Mm, that's it

[TALLULAH]
Something satin
Throw a hat in
And a purple parasol
That's how to make an entrance at the ball

[SAGI]
In a panic?
Think organic
Look at this one size fits all
Now you can be the beauty at the ball

[TALLULAH]
I think you should lose the silly nest thing
[SAGI]
No way!

[TALLULAH]
I'm the one whose been to these before
I know orange taffeta's the best thing

[SAGI]
Yes, the best thing to ignore. Bleh!
Skirt!

[TALLULAH]
Dress!

[SAGI]
Loose!

[TALLULAH]
Tight!

[SAGI]
More!

[TALLULAH]
Less!
[SAGI]
Drab!

[TALLULAH]
Bright!

[SAGI]
No!

[TALLULAH]
Yes!

[SAGI]
Black!

[TALLULAH]
White!

[RO, spoken]
Stop!

(sung)
There is something good in what you're saying
I know if I go I want to look my best
And you're right, my choices should reflect me
But I can't be underdressed
I look nice in island blue
[TIKA]
I can find you some of that by the wall

[RO]
Vine designs all curlicue

[SAGI]
I will sketch you all the shapes I recall

[RO]
Something pink is fun to try

[TALLULAH]
You can use this as a wrap or a shawl

[RO]
Sparkle like the evening sky

[SAGI]
And with this you're guaranteed to enthrall

[RO, spoken]
Perfect! Well, almost. There's something missing

[AZUL]
Ro, please accept these
Do you think they'll do?

[RO]
Azul, your gift makes this a dream come true

[AZUL]
Now you'll take their breath away

[TALLULAH]
We can see you'll be the jewel of them all

[TIKA]
Last of all, a rose bouquet

[AZUL, SAGI, TIKA, TALLULAH & RO]
You're going to have a great time at
I'm going to have a great time at
You're going to have a great time at the ball (I'm going to have a great time at the ball)
