Karaoké Nothing A Chorus Line (musical)

I'm so excited because I'm gonna go to the High School of performing Arts

I mean I was dying to be a serious actress

Anyway it's the first day acting class and we're in the auditorium

And the teacher Mister Karp puts us up on the stage with our legs around everybody

One in back of the other and he says

Okay we're going to do improvisations

Now you're on a bobsled and it's snowing out and it's cold, okay go

Every day for a week we would try to feel the motion feel the motion down the hill

Every day for a week we would try to hear the wind rush

Hear the wind rush feel the chill

And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul to see what I had inside

Yes I dug right down to the bottom of my soul and I tried I tried

And everybody's goin', shh, shh

I feel the snow

I feel the cold I feel the air

And Mister Karp turns to me and he says okay Morales what did you feel

And I said nothing

I'm feeling nothing

And he says nothing could get a girl transferred

They all felt something but I felt nothing

Except the feeling that this bullshit was absurd

But I said to myself hey it's only the first week

Maybe it's genetic they don't have bobsleds in San Juan

Second week more advanced and we had to be a table be a sportscar ice cream cone

Mister Karp he would say very good except Morales try Morales all alone

And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul to see how an ice cream felt

Yes I dug right down to the bottom of my soul and I tried to melt

The kids yelled nothing they called me nothing

And Karp allowed it which really makes me burn

They were so helpful they called me hopeless

Until I really didn't know where else to turn

And Karp kept saying

Morales I think you should transfer to Girl's High

You'll never be an actress never Jesus Christ

Went to church praying Santa Maria

Send me guidance send me guidance on my knees

Went to church praying Santa Maria

Help me feel it help me feel it pretty please

And a voice from down at the bottom of my soul came up to the top of my head

And the voice from down at the bottom of my soul here is what it said

This man is nothing this course is nothing

If you want something go find another class

And when you find one you'll be an actress

And I assure you that's what finally came to pass

Six months later I heard that Karp had died

And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul

And cried 'cos I felt nothing
