LYRICS:

HERMES:
And on the road to hell, there was a lot of waiting

COMPANY:
Mmm, waiting

HERMES:
Everybody waiting on a train

COMPANY:
Mmm, waiting on a lady with a...

HERMES:
Waiting on a train to bring that lady

COMPANY:
Mmm, lady

HERMES:
With the suitcase back again
She's never early, always late

COMPANY:
Waiting

HERMES:
These days she never stays for long
But good things come to those who wait

Here she comes!

PERSEPHONE:
Well it's like he said, I'm an outdoor girl

HERMES:
And you're late again

PERSEPHONE:
Married to the king of the underworld

HERMES:
She forgot a little thing called spring

PERSEPHONE:
Are you wondering where I've been?

COMPANY:
Yeah!

WORKER:
Where you been?

WORKER:
I'm wondering

PERSEPHONE:
Been to hell, and back again
But like my mama always said:
Brother when you're down, you're down
When you're up, you're up
If you ain't six feet underground, you're living it up on top
Let's not talk about hard times
Pour the wine, it's summertime!

'Cause right now we're livin' it

COMPANY:
How are we livin' it?

PERSEPHONE:
Livin' it, livin' it up
Brother, right here we're livin' it

COMPANY:
Where are we livin' it?

PERSEPHONE:
Livin' it up on top

Who makes the summer sun shine bright?
That's right, Persephone!
Who makes the fruit of the vine get ripe

COMPANY:
Persephone!

PERSEPHONE:
That's me!
Who makes the flowers bloom again, in spite of her man?

COMPANY:
You do!

PERSEPHONE:
Who's doing the best she can?
Persephone, that's who

Now some might say, the weather ain't the way it used to be
But let me tell you something that my mama said to me
You take what you can get, and you make the most of it

So right now we're livin' it

COMPANY:
How are we livin' it?

PERSEPHONE:
Livin' it, livin' it up
Oh brother, right here we're livin' it

COMPANY:
Where are we livin' it?

PERSEPHONE:
Livin' it up on top

HERMES:
It was summertime on the road to hell

THE FATES:
Mmm...

HERMES:
There was a girl who had always run away

THE FATES:
Mmm...

HERMES:
You might say it was in spite of herself

THE FATES:
Mmm, mmm, mmm...

HERMES:
That this young girl decided to stay
There was a poor boy with a lyre

PERSEPHONE:
Who says times are hard?

HERMES:
The flowers bloomed and the fruit got ripe
And brother for a moment there

PERSEPHONE:
Anybody want a drink?

HERMES:
The world came back to life!

(The company dances and celebrates with Persephone.)

PERSEPHONE:
Up on top, we ain't got much
But we're

COMPANY:
Livin' it up

PERSEPHONE:
Just enough to fill our cups

COMPANY:
Livin' it up on top

PERSEPHONE:
Brother pass that bottle around
'Cause we're

COMPANY:
Livin' it, livin' it up

HERMES:
Let the poet bless this round

ORPHEUS:
To the patroness of all of this, Persephone!

HERMES:
Here, here!

Who has finally returned to us with wine enough to share
Asking nothing in return except that we should live
And learn to live as brothers in this life
And to trust she will provide
And if no one takes too much, there will always be enough
She will always fill our cups

PERSEPHONE:
I will

ORPHEUS:
And we will always raise them up
To the world we dream about
And the one we live in now

'Cause right now we're livin' it

COMPANY:
How are we livin' it?

ORPHEUS:
Livin' it up
Oh brother, right here we're livin' it

COMPANY:
Where are we livin' it?

ORPHEUS:
Listen here, I'll tell you where
We're livin' it up on top

COMPANY:
Up on top!

ORPHEUS:
Livin' it up and we ain't gonna stop
Livin' it, livin' it

COMPANY:
Livin' it, livin' it

ORPHEUS:
How are we livin' it?

COMPANY:
Where are we livin' it?

ORPHEUS:
Livin' it, livin' it

COMPANY:
Livin' it, livin' it
Livin' it up on top!
