Lyrics

• Marge:
  Script notes and sound cues,
  take me there again.
  In my blacks in the backs of the wings,
  so I'm not seen.
  No one knows the magic,
  that hides behind the scenes.
  It's me!
  The cast said yes! We're putting on a musical!
  Places, everybody,
  it's time to start the show.
  That's what actors need me to say,
  otherwise, they wouldn't know where to go.
  Cinch up the hemlines,
  sound check all the mics.
  Close the door, ring the bell,
  and bring down the house lights.
  It's curtains up for Marge Bouvier.
  'Cause I'm once again the star,
  of the backstage.
  
  Chief Wiggum:
  Wow, you're the director?
  
  Marge:
  No, more important… the stage manager.
  Five minutes, guys!
  
  Dr. Hibbert:
  Thank you, five.
  
  Marge:
  Five minutes. I always used to love saying that, before…
  The endless loads of laundry,
  the dishes piled high.
  The whining and complaining,
  
  Bart:
  It's mine!
  
  Lisa:
  It's mine!
  
  Bart & Lisa:
  It's mine!
  
  Marge:
  Enough!
  I'm returning to my theater family,
  a revival of our fondest memories.
  Singin'…
  
  Kirk:
  Do.
  
  Dr. Hibbert:
  Re.
  
  Helen Lovejoy:
  Mi.
  
  Waylon Smithers:
  This-
  
  Lenny:
  Show-
  
  Barney:
  Will be-
  
  Marge:
  The talk of the town,
  a hit, a smash, the rage.
  
  Homer:
  And there's nothing Springfield needs more,
  than a play!
  
  Marge:
  Good!
  'Cause I'm once again the,
  appreciated, well-respected, never, ever disconnected,
  nothing but the most impressive,
  everybody's dearest friended,
  star,
  of the backstage…
  
  Barney, Lenny, Helen, Kirk, Dr. Hibbert & Smithers:
  She's the star, see how she shines.
  She answers when we call for lines.
  
  Marge:
  Places, everybody!

Reprise

• Marge:
  Script notes and sound cues,
  they never saw me as a friend.
  In my blacks in the backs of the wings,
  I was unseen.
  So much for the magic,
  no one wants old Marjorie.
