"Show Off" from "The Drowsy Chaperone"

JANET
I don't wanna show off no more.
I don't wanna sing tunes no more.
I don't wanna ride moons no more.
I don't wanna show off.

I don't wanna wear this no more.
Play the saucy swiss miss no more.
Blow my signature *kiss* no more.
I don't wanna show off.

Don't try to control me,
I've made up my mind.
And that's it. I quit.
I'm leaving it all behind.

I don't wanna be cute no more.
Make the gentleman hoot no more
I don't wanna wear fruit no more.
I don't wanna show off.

REPORTERS
She don't wanna show off no more.

JANET
Not me!

REPORTERS
Read her name in the news no more.

JANET
Page Three!

REPORTERS
Get the glowing reviews no more.

JANET
Aww Gee, I don't wanna show off.

REPORTERS
She don't wanna show off.

JANET
I don't wanna show off.

REPORTERS
She don't wanna show off no more,
Off no more!

JANET
Not me. Whee!!

*Musical Interlude*

JANET
I don't wanna show off.

REPORTERS
Ah . . .
She don't wanna show off,
Show off,
Don't wanna show off no more.

JANET
Please no more attention,
I've counted to ten!
And I'm through
Adieu!
You'll never see this!
You'll never see this!
Never see this!
Never see that!
Never see these again!

I don't wanna change key's no more!
I don't wanna strip tease no more!
I don't wanna say "Cheese" no more!
I don't care if you scoff.

I don't wanna be cheered no more,
praised no more,
grabbed no more,
touched no more,
loved no more,
I don't wanna show off.

REPORTERS
She don't wanna show off.

JANET
I don't wanna show off.

REPORTERS
She don't wanna show off.

JANET
I don't wanna show off.

REPORTERS
She don't wanna show off.

JANET
I don't wanna show off!
No more!

GANGSTER #2
Mr. Feldzieg, it is painfully obvious that Ms. Van De Graaff has no desire
to continue the life on the stage.

FELDZIEG
Don't worry boys, this isn't over yet.

KITTY
Yeah, I'm surprised she didn't do an encore.

JANET
I don't want an Encore no more!
Keep em' shoutin' for more no more!
Dissappear through the floor no more!
I don't wanna show off.
