Lyrics[]
Original Broadway Version[]
[GUARD]
When I call your name, step forward!
Pinocchio, the puppet!
[PINOCCHIO]
I am not a puppet
I'm a real boy!
(Nose expands)
Ha ha.
[GUARD]
That's your patch of mud down there.
[PINOCCHIO]
Thank you very much.
[GUARD]
Shoemaker's Elf!
[Shoemaker's Elf]
Yes, right here!
[GUARD]
Ugly Duckling.
[PINOCCHIO]
Oh, dumped on a swamp!
Man I tell you sometimes being a fairytale creature sucks pine sap!
Life is disappointing
Woe is what I know
Outed by my nose
That's just how it goes
For poor Pinocchio
Story of my life
Always doomed to fail
Cheated by a fox
Swallowed by a whale
That's the story of my life, oh yeah
That's the story of my life
[GUARD]
Three bears, take your spot over there by that sign.
No, that's too far!
Too close.
Ah! Just right!
[Shoemaker's Elf]
Strife is never ending
[GUARD]
Fairy Godmother!
[Peter Pan]
Banished
From the town
[GUARD]
Wicked Witch!
[Ugly Duckling]
They dragged me from the pond
[Fairy Godmother]
They broke my magic wand
[Three Little Pigs]
They blew our condos down
[GUARD]
Mad Hatter!
[Wicked Witch]
Life is but a witch hunt
[Mama Bear]
Mama's in the mud
Mama's in distress
[Mad Hatter]
They ridiculed my hat
[Three Little Pigs]
They said that we were fat
[Big Bad Wolf]
They tore my cotton granny dress
And called me a hot and tranny mess
[GUARD]
Sugar Plum Fairy
[ALL]
Story of my life
Booted from the ball
The party's off the hook
[TWEEDLEDUM]
But I'm too off the wall
[ALL]
But that's the story of my life
[GUARD]
You're late rabbit!
[White Rabbit]
That's the story of my life
[GUARD]
Have fun, you guys!
[ALL]
That's the story of my life
[GUARD]
And remember, if we find you back in the kingdom, you will be executed!
[ALL]
I always dreamed I'd get a happy ending
[Wicked Witch]
And this right here, not how it goes
[ALL]
I always dreamed I'd get an ever after
If this is it, it blows
It blows
It blows
It blows
[PINOCCHIO]
This is worse than the time I caught Dutch Elm's disease in Tijuana!
[ALL]
Story of my life
All the wasted prayers
All the broken dreams
[Three Bears]
All the broken chairs
[ALL]
All the damage done
[Three Bears]
All the busted beds
[ALL]
All the shattered falls
[Three Bears]
And the porridge on our heads
[ALL]
That's the story of my life, yes sir
That's the story of my life, oy vey
That's the story of my-
Life
