Grease Script
GREASE SONG- (ALTO LEAD GIRL/ TENOR MALE)
[Verse 1]
SOLO1- I saw my problems, and I'll see the light
We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right
SOLO2-- There ain't no danger, we can go too far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
SOLO3- They think our love is just a growin' pain
Why don't they understand? It's just a cryin' shame
SOLO4- Their lips are lyin', only real is real
We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
[Verse 2]
SOLO5- We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
SOLO6-There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are
Grease is the word
[Chorus]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
[Bridge]
SOLO7- This is a life of illusion, wrapped up in trouble
Laced with confusion - what're we doin' here?
[Verse 2]
SOLO8- We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
SOLO9- There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believin' now that we can be who we are (ECHO)
Grease is the word
2
[Chorus]
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got a groove, it's got a meaning
Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
