Rosamund ft. Eric Price, Santino Fontana & Jeremy Jordan Lyrics

What's her name?

Rosamund!

Yes, of course, it would be

"Rosamund" what?

Plinth

Plinth?

Of the meatpacking Plinths?

So, she's the meat heiress?

American fortunes often have absurd roots

But where'd you "meat" her

In the Tenderloin?

Is she "Grade A"?

Is she "beefy?"

She can sing

She can dance

She is really quite exquisite

It's a gift

From the gods

That she's here on Earth

Oh, is it?

You love money

I love Rosie

For her money

For her beautiful laugh!

It's a babbling brook

Or a jingling coin purse?

It's nothing like that

It's a bell, a chime

Full of wisdom and time

And I think that you're overwriting

My words don't suffice

They are too imprecise

She is perfect and that's all

But when she laughs

I fall to Wonderland

Fall in love, then you will understand

Her laugh is the tune

Of the silverest spoon

And so gentle

Yet it's wry and direct

Just a tad circumspect

But nonjudgmental

And transcendental!

Let me ask you a very simple question

Does she love you?

That's the best part

Congratulations

Thanks! And also the worst

See, her father arranged

Someone else for her to wed

But Rosamund must marry me instead!

Who's your competition?

A fellow in the Midwest

A man named Armitage

Of the breweries?

Yes

There's some hope in consolidating the family interests

Steak and ale, oh my word

But her father's willing to break the agreement

To let her marry me

If

If?

If I can find a way

To demonstrate the things I have in store

Some evidence of promise

Then I'm fine

To make good on my plans

To show success within my hands

If the book is published, Rosamund is mine!

Denny, it's not a novel

It's a grouping of pages

Not even a pile

You need one of those vivid words

They use for birds and cats

A gaggle of

A murder

A catastrophe of pages

Aren't you looking for something unique?

Something unpredictable?

This is it!

A book is a single thing

This is a vast, unedited, unorganized, untitled

It has a title!

And what would that title be?

The Violet Hour
