One of a Kind

(Juan de Marcos González & Lin-Manuel Miranda)

[ANDRÉS]
Ayy, ladies and gentlemen
The show is right this way, right this way
Ayy, we have prepared for you a dazzling display
Right this way

So gather 'round, my friends, and here we go
Presenting the one and only Vivo!

[VIVO]
Is this thing on?
Gather 'round, gather 'round, let's go!
Okay, attendance is low, but this is just a hiccup
Once we begin our show, business is gonna pick up

We're two blocks from la casa, it's not a new scene
This is our spot in the plaza, check out the routine
Ladies and gentlemen, I am Vivo the kinkajou
What's a kinkajou? Baby, I think you're ready
To learn a thing or two

Watch me swing as I sing at you
Every single thing I can think of
To make you scream, "woo!"

[ANDRÉS]
Ayy
Lo le lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei
Lai le lo lei


[VIVO]
- That's Andrés, he sings

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
Ayy
Lo le lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei
Lai le lo lei

[ANDRÉS]
You and I, we are one of a kind

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
Keeping time, every time

[VIVO]
Oye!
We are a part of a time-honored tradition
Of timing and precision
Your finest two musicians are top-notch
As we hopscotch the competition
The clock is tocking and ticking
I'm rocking this clave rhythm

Now watch
As people drop their dollars and pesos
We do this all day
Every day, so dame un beso
Give me a kiss, mwah!
Be right back, now watch this


[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
Ayy
Lo le lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei
Lai le lo lei
You and I, we are one of a kind
Keeping time, every time

[VIVO]
Okay, you may be thinking
"What's a kinkajou doing playing music in Cuba?"
"Don't you usually live in the rain forest?"
Maybe I fell in a shipping crate as a baby
Next thing I knew, I was somewhere new
I wasn't singing the same chorus

All I remember was being hungry
And running from somebody even hungrier
Chasing me up this very tree
But guess who came to the rescue with his tres?
Andrés, yes!

And he blessed me with his melody

[ANDRÉS]
Where did you come from, chiquito?
Ah! You really love music, don't you?
Come down from the tree
You can stay with me
Mmm, but what will your name be?


You're so full of music and life
And I have the perfect name for you!
Vivo!

[VIVO]
And if y'all like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Right along like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Yeah, if y'all like that
Won't you pass the hat?
It's Vivo, I'm faster than your average cat!

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
And if y'all like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Right along like that
Won't you pass the hat?
Yeah, if y'all like that
Won't you pass the hat?

[VIVO]
Yeah, I've adapted to my habitat

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
You and I, we are one of a kind

[ANDRÉS]
Keeping time

[VIVO]
Keeping time

[ANDRÉS]
Right on time

[VIVO]
Right on time!
Ayy

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
Lo le lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei
Lai le lo lei

[ENSEMBLE]
We all like that
So we pass the hat
Right along like that
So we pass the hat

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
You and I, we are one of a kind

[ENSEMBLE]
They are one of a kind!

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
Keeping time

[ENSEMBLE]
Keeping time

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
Every time

[ENSEMBLE]
Every time

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
Right on time

[ENSEMBLE]
Right on time
Lai lo lei lo lai
Lo lei lo le lo le lai
Lo lai

[ANDRÉS & VIVO]
Right on time!

Mambo Cabana

(Juan de Marcos González, Lin-Manuel Miranda & Gloria Estefan)

[ANDRÉS]
There is a place
Many miles away
Where the rhythm digs in deep
And won't let go, that's how you know
You've reached the Mambo Cabana

Your heart will race
Horns will start to play
And banish any hope of sleep
This is my chance
To share another dance
In the Mambo Cabana

Mambo Cabana, Cabana, Cabana

[VIVO]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Slow down, things are moving too fast

[ANDRÉS]
We leave the old hometown
With this note from the past

[VIVO]
No, no, no, no!
Stay home in this life that we've made
With the songs that we've played



[ANDRÉS]
Vivo, don't be afraid
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late

[MARTA]
I can see and hear it all, mi amigo
Entertaining in that hall, contigo

[ANDRÉS]
And Marta singing so fine
But the melody she sings is mine
Like...

[MARTA]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
It's not too late

La, la, la, la la
La, la, la, la
It's not too late, ah!

[VOCALS]
Pa' la cabana, Mambo Cabana


[ANDRÉS & MARTA]
It's not too late

[VOCALS]
Pa' la cabana, Mambo Cabana

[ANDRÉS & MARTA]
It's not too late

[ANDRÉS]
¡Vamos mañana!

One More Song

(Lin-Manuel Miranda)

Each time I look at you is like the first time
Each time you're near me the thrill is new
And there is nothing that I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you for

The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

Keep The Beat

(Lin-Manuel Miranda & Ynairaly Simo)

The plan was get to a bus
Next thing you know, the two of us
Are floating, drifting somewhere new

She said we'd take a shortcut
I'm trying to be a good sport, but
I don't see how we make it through

Remember the size of the world before
It was you and I, just you and I
And now the horizon holds so much more
And it's do or die, yeah, it's do or die

All I can do when the road bends
Is lean into the curve
And all I can do when the tank's run dry
Is see what's in reserve

And all I can do when the plans break down
Is stay on my feet
And all I can do at the end of the day is play on
Play on and keep the beat

Remember the size of the world before
Now it's you and I, just you and I
And now the horizon holds so much more
And it's do or die, yeah, it's do or die

All I can do when the road bends
(We bounce to the beat of our own drum)
Is lean into the curve
(We bounce to the beat of our own drum)
And all I can do when the tank's run dry
(We bounce to the beat of our own drum)
Is see what's in reserve
(We bounce to the beat of our own drum)

And all I can do when the plans break down
(We wow in a world full of ho-hum)
Is stay on my feet
(We wow in a world full of ho-hum)
And all I can do at the end of the day is play on
Play on and keep the beat

Love's Gonna Pick You Up

(Brian Tyree Henry, Lin-Manuel Miranda & Aneesa Folds)

[DANCARINO]
Yes, I saved you

[VIVO]
Huh?

[DANCARINO]
'Cause love saved me

[VIVO]
What?

[DANCARINO]
Vivo, when you found me
I was low as I could be

[VIVO]
High up!

[DANCARINO]
You picked me up

[VALENTINA]
So high

[DANCARINO]
And you changed my whole demeanor
Like a perfect ballerina
Yes, I found my Valentina



[VALENTINA]
That's me!

[DANCARINO]
I told Valentina
About the mission you were on for love

[VALENTINA]
You poor little honey bear
So tired of running
We're going to get you there

[DANCARINO]
And sweet Valentina said
Let's help him from above

[VALENTINA]
So we thought we'd swing by you
Come and help you with a bird's-eye view

[SPOONBILLS]
Love's gonna pick you up
And never put you down

[VIVO]
Cool, please stop singing
We're miles away from the ground


[SPOONBILLS]
Love's gonna kick your butt
And drag you around

[VALENTINA]
Let's help your friend
Then you and me fly south

[SPOONBILLS]
You take that road
To deliver that love you found

[VALETINA]
Where we're going
We don't need roads, we don't need roads

[SPOONBILLS]
That one set of footprints
Was love dragging you around

[DANCARINO]
Dragging you around, yeah

[SPOONBILLS]
Love's gonna pick you up
And never put you down


[DANCARINO]
I said love's gonna kick your butt
And drag you around, yeah

Tough Crowd

(Lin-Manuel Miranda)

Woo, tough crowd, nothing I haven't seen before
I'll have to pull up the stops, and give 'em even more
It's tough to play when you're a prey facing a predator
No time to pray, find a way to slay your competitor

So turn up the volume
When they would have you be quiet
As you turn up the rhythm
So they can never deny it

You bounce when it counts
And give as good as you got
'Cause you're not gonna stop
Till they drop and you got 'em in a knot

One More Song (Reprise)

(Lin-Manuel Miranda)

Each time I look at you is like the first time
Each time you're near me the thrill is new
And there is nothing that I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you for

The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes

Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try

Running Out of Time

(Alana Da Fonseca, Bri Holland, Chris Jackson, Gloria Calderón Kellett, Gloria Estefan, Jada Banks-Mace, Leslie David Baker, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Veroni Lyrics)

[VIVO]
Survived another disaster
Does this thing go any faster?
We're out of time, the sun is going down
When I thought we were done for
My new friend gave us an encore
Let's reach the shore of this Miami town

[VIVO & GABI]
Remember the size of the world before
It was you and I, just you and I
And now the horizon holds so much more
And it's do or die
Yeah, it's do or die

She bought this ticket

[BUS DRIVER]
Hey, listen, lady
It's been a long day
Like I said, she was not with us
I need a nap

[VIVO & GABI]
We'll get there in time and do so much more
'Cause it's you and I, just you and I
We'll run, and we'll climb till we reach her door
'Cause it's do or die
Yeah, it's do or die

Inside Your Heart

(Gloria Estefan)

(Mambo Cabana, oh-oh)
(Mambo Cabana, oh-oh-oh)

Your plane leaves in the morning
Soon the world will see you shine
And I wish I could go with you
But your journey isn't mine

And the world will soon adore you
As I learn to live without you
Every melody is for you
Every song I write about you

And this fear that keeps me by the door
Shouldn't interfere with you wanting more
I am here, just on another shore
Always in your corner watching you soar

When your plane lands on the runway
Keep this song inside your heart
Oh-oh, when the road goes only one way
Keep this song inside your heart
Oh-oh, when the years pass but the love stays
Keep this song inside your heart
Oh-oh, I'll be with you when the song plays
All along inside your heart

Oh-oh
(Mambo Cabana, oh-oh)
Oh-oh

Cuando aterrices en la pista
Deja que cante el corazón
Cuando el camino pierda la vista
Deja que cante el corazón
Pasan los años, pasan los meses
Deja que cante el corazón
Y nuestro amor nunca envejece
Deja que cante el corazón

Keep this song inside your heart
Canta el corazón

Grand Finale

(Alana Da Fonseca, Aneesa Folds, Bri Holland, Bryan Tyree Henry, Gloria Estefan, Jada Banks-Mace, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ynairaly Simo & Zoe Saldana)

[Gabi]
Hey
Calling all grown-ups, animals, and kids
Right this way
We have prepared for you today
A dazzling display
Presenting the one and only Vivo
Go! Go! Go! Go!

[Vivo]
Ladies and gentlemen
It's Vivo and the kid again
My rhythm comes from the heart of Havana City
And I bring a bit of it to every city I'm living in
I was given a gift
I'm never giving up or giving in

[Sand Dollars]
Woo!

[Vivo]
The time-honored traditions of the Caribbean
In a collabo with Gabi

[Vivo & Sand Dollars]
The fabulous Floridian

[Vivo, Dancarino & Valentina]
We have battled the elements and villainous reptilians
By bouncing to the beat of our own drums with brilliance

My fine feathered friend has flown the whole meridian
And Valentina can't help but bring the pretty in
They shine like a diamond of the finest obsidian
And tango like a native Argentinian

But dang, yo
Y'all don't understand my singing
I'm running rings around
This riveting rhythm and swinging
So gimme the rhythm and gimme a minute
And gimme a limit so I can exceed it
A brand-new song's just what we needed

[Gabi & Vivo]
Hey
Lo lei lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei

[Dancarino]
And if you like that dance
Won't you clap your hands?

[Dancarino & Valentina]
If you like that dance
Won't you clap your hands? Go!

[Gabi & Vivo]
Hey
Lo lei lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei

[Rosa]
And if you like that dance
Won't you clap your hands?

[Ensemble]
If you like that dance

[Vivo]
Won't you clap your hands?
Go!

[Marta]
Que diga ¡presente!

[Vivo & Gabi]
Que diga ¡presente!

[Sand Dollars]
¡Presente!

[Ensemble]
¡Presente!

[Marta]
And if you like this song
Won't you sing along?
If you like this song
Won't you sing along?

[Vivo & Gabi, Marta]
And if you like this song
(¡Dale!)
Won't you sing along?
If you like this song
(¡Así!)
Won't you sing along?
Go!

[Marta]
Hey
Lo lei lo lai
Lo le lo lai, lo le lo lei
Lai le lo lei

[Ensemble]
If you like this song
Won't you sing along?
If you like this song
Won't you sing along?
If you like this song
Won't you sing along?
If you like this song
Won't you sing along
If you like this song
Won't you sing along
If you like this song
Won't you sing along

[Gabi & Vivo]
We are one of a kind

My Own Drum (Remix) [with Missy Elliott]

(Ynairaly Simo)

I bounce to the beat of my own drum
I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum

I bounce to the beat of my own drum
I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum

I had a violín but I wrecked the rental
I play the tamborine and I'm never gentle
Oh! See what I mean, that was accidental
But now that we're a team, we'll be instrumental

Instrumental
Ha! See what I did there, I made a pun
Ha! I'm having fun
Ha! I'm never done
Ha! I'm just a one young woman

I bounce to the beat of my own drum
I'm a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum

Extra, extra
Read all about it, I am
Extra, extra
The kid that the other kids can't get next to
I got my own seat on the bus
I've always been a me not an us
You're at a ten, I need you at a three

Ha! Try that again, I gotta be me
I am a ten
I gotta be free
And I, I gotta friend
We're a team, and we

Bounce to the beat of my own drum
We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum

Everybody bounce when they see me come
I come through dressed like a showroom
Who flyer than me? Oh, no one!
'Cause I brr brr brr-ah to my own drum

Turn it up loud, you can call me wild child
I ain't nothin' like them others, got my own style
Anyone know how I do it?
Well here's how

Da da da da da da
Let me break it down
Lemme break it down
'Cause I get busy when I write

You know I got the style
And copy-cats, they want to bite
Walk to the stage and all you see is flashing lights
Everybody scream like I'm Janet and Mike

Get crazy with it
Once you meet me, no you won't forget me
I'm in my own lane and I won't be quittin'
And make bounce, bounce, bounce to the beat we litty

We bounce to the beat of my own drum
We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum

Ha! Now that's a solo
I've always flow solo
I speed up when the world's in slo-mo
Make it up as I go when I don't know
And I know, I know it seems like I'm lonely
People assume that I'm lonely
Look at this room and assume that you know me
Homie, you don't know me, I'm in the zone

We bounce to the beat of my own drum
We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum

We bounce to the beat of my own drum
We're a wow in a world full of ho-hum
I'm a wild young lady, but you know 'sum?
I'd rather be at home with my own drum

Bounce
Bounce
Bounce
Bounce
