Why’d you run away?

Don’t you like my… style?



Why don’t you come and play?

I guarantee a great big smile.



I come from the imagination

And I’m here strictly by your invocation.

So what do you say—

Why don’t we dance a while?

I’m the how to swing.

I’m the twist and shout.

When you gotta sing,

When you gotta let it out.

You call me and I come a-runnin’.

I turn the music on, I bring the fun in.

Now we’re partyin’, that’s what it’s all about.



’Cause I know what you feel, girl.

I know just what you feel, girl.

DAWN

So you’re like a good demon? Bringing the fun in?

SWEET

All these melodies, they go on too long.

Then that energy starts to come on way too strong.

All those hearts lay open— that must sting.

Plus some customers just start combusting.

That’s the penalty when life is but a song.

You brought me down into this town

So when we blow this scene,

Back we will go to my kingdom below

And you will be my queen.



’Cause I know what you feel, girl.

DAWN

No, you see, you and me

Wouldn’t be very regal.

SWEET

I’ll make it real, girl.

DAWN

What I mean, I’m fifteen

So this queen thing’s illegal.

SWEET

I can bring whole cities to ruin

And still have time to get a soft-shoe in.

DAWN

Well, that’s great but I’m late

And I’d hate to delay her.

SWEET

Something’s cooking, I’m at the griddle.

I bought Nero his very first fiddle.

DAWN

She’ll get pissed if I’m missed,

See my sister’s the Slayer.

SWEET

The Slayer?

DAWN

Uh-huh.

SWEET

Find her. Tell her… tell her anything. Just get her here. I

want to see the Slayer burn.

SWEET

Now we’re partyin’.

That’s what it’s all about.
