Original Cast of OZ: A New Musical - Miss Cuttenclip Lyrics

I LOVE TO MAKE THINGS ALL DAY LONG.
I'M A REALLY GOOD ARTIST.
I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT ME IN SONG.
2, 3, SO LET'S START THIS.
ONCE I WAS QUITE LONELY.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS.
I'D SIT AT HOME WITH ONLY
MY PENCILS, PAINTS, AND PENS.
THEN ONE DAY I MET THE NICEST WITCH UP FROM THE NORTH,
AND SHE GAVE ME SOME MAGIC PAPER.
I DREW A LITTLE MAN OF MY VERY OWN DESIGN.
I COLORED HIM WITH CRAYON,
AND I STAYED INSIDE THE LINES.
AND WHEN I CUT HIM OUT THAT FELLA FULLY CAME ALIVE
IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE MAGIC PAPER.
AT LAST I HAD MADE A FRIEND.
I COULD MAKE SO MANY MORE OF THEM.
WHEN I CUT AND CLIP
I FEEL A GREAT KINSHIP
TO ALL MY LOYAL FRIENDS
LET THE PAPER SAY, "AMEN!"
SO COME TAKE A TRIP
TO THE TOWN OF CUTTENCLIP.
LIFE IS GREAT
IN THE WORLD I CREATE.
CAUGHT IN MY CREATION -
A LIVING WORK OF ART.
THERE IS NO SEPARATION FROM THE WEIGHT
OF THE WORLD I CREATE.
Your drawings are very cute...
Umm... "Cute?"
MUCH MORE THAN DECORATION,

MY FRIENDS ARE WORKS OF ART.
THEIR BODIES ARE QUITE FLIMSY,
SO PLEASE DON'T SNEEZE OR FART.
THE WORK AND THE CREATOR
CANNOT BE TORN APART,
AND LIFE IS GREAT
IN THE WORLD I CREATE.
Ok, I'll try not to sneeze.
Thank you. My friends are delicate creatures. But they can always be replaced.
HERE IN CUTTENCLIP
IT'S A DICTATORSHIP.
WITHIN THESE CARDBOARD WALLS
I COMMAND MY PAPER DOLLS.
WE ARE TRAPPED WITHIN,
BUT MY WAIST IS PAPER THIN.
YOU LOOK GREAT!
IN THE WORLD I CREATE.
MAKE NEW FRIENDS BUT KEEP THE OLD.
WE'LL STAY FRIENDS
IF YOU DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD.
Most of my paper doll pals are lovely creatures, but some of them are... "tearable."
And the paper I use, must be magic, otherwise the people would be... "stationary."
Am I not cutting you up?
No, your jokes are "shear" genius.
Oh! You're clever!
Thank you. We love puns in this house.
Oh! A fellow "ar-teeeest!" Well I'm about to make you an "author" you can't refuse. I feel no inspiration and I'm drawing a blank. Can you make me a book?
YOUR WORK IS QUITE SUFFICIENT.
LET'S MAKE A PARTNERSHIP,
AND OPEN UP A FACTORY IN THE LAND OF CUTTENCLIP,
PRODUCING PAPER PEOPLE
TILL WE START TO CLOSE OUR GRIP.
THAT IS THE WEIGHT
OF THE WORLD I CREATE.
More! More! More! More!
More! More! More!
MR. BAUM, MR. BAUM,
WE NEED AOTHER STORY.
MR. BAUM, MR. BAUM,
THERE AREN'T ANY MORE TO READ.
I FALL INTO MY STORY
AND LIVE INSIDE MY ART.
BEGIN ANOTHER CHAPTER
WITH APTITUDE AND HEART.
THE WORK AND THE CREATOR
CANNOT BE TORN APART.
THAT IS THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD I CREATE.
I FALL INTO A STORY,
AND LIVE INSIDE MY ART.
BEGIN ANOTHER CHAPTER
WITH APTITUDE AND HEART.
THE WORK AND THE CREATOR
CANNOT NOT BE TORN APART.
THAT IS THE WEIGHT
OF THE WORLD I CREATE.
CAUGHT IN MY CREATION
I LIVING WORK...
Cut!
Didn't you like the key change?
No! Cut! I got a paper cut! Which one of you did this?
WHEN I FIND OUT WHO'S TO BLAME,
THEN MY SHEARS WILL SNIP AND MAIME.
I'm kidding. But I am turning you into "origami."
NO!
Yes! The punishment will be "ten fold."
THAT IS YOUR FATE
IN THE WORLD I
CREATE.
