Higher Than Ever Lyrics
Original Broadway CastHigher Than Ever
JACKIE: (spoken)A Queen of Versailles necklace?
In diamonds?
DAVID: (spoken)
Because Versailles is no longer for sale
(sung)
American royalty
That's who you're meant to be
JACKIE:
You got back Versailles?
DAVID:
I said, didn't I?
I'd get it back if I could
I always knew you would
GARY:
A little cagey, a little clever
Look where we end up —
Higher than ever
Back in business, and my oh my
Higher than ever, we're gonna fly
We'll be higher than ever
DAVID:
Every safeguard and system
GARY:
Higher than ever
DAVID:
And the way you can twist 'em
GARY:
Rules for common folk don't apply
GARY & DAVID:
Higher than ever, we're gonna fly
DAVID: (spoken)
Bonuses for everyone!
GARY & DAVID:
Higher than ever
JACKIE & JONQUIL:
If you had the chance to choose
GARY & DAVID:
Higher than ever
JACKIE & JONQUIL:
? will you choose
ALL:
With the best life that you can buy
GARY:
Who says you can't own the sky?
ALL:
Higher than ever
We're gonna fly!
ENSEMBLE:
And the Kingdom goes on forever
And the Kingdom goes on forever
GARY:
We bought back Westgate Vegas,
You'll be dazzled when you enter
ENSEMBLE:
The rows of gleaming slot machines,
The Westgate flag unfurled
FEMALE ENSEMBLE:
The King performed here!
ELVIS PRESLEY:
Elvis
GARY:
It's got a sports bet center
DAVID: (spoken)
And the biggest Benihana
In the whole damn world
ENSEMBLE:
The biggest Benihana in the world!
Blazing like rockets,
Soaring like eagles
Right back on top now,
Here come the Siegels
Here's the proof,
Thirty stories high
Who says you can't own the sky?
Higher than
Higher than, higher than, higher than ever...
We're gonna fly!
Who says you can't own the sky?
We're gonna fly!
Who says you can't own the sky?
We're gonna fly!
Who says you can't own the sky?
We're gonna fly!
Who says you can't own the sky?
WESTGATE STAFF: (overlapping)
You deserve more!
You deserve more!
You deserve more!
You deserve more!
(repeat 'til fade)
