Today is the day of the German celebration
Known as Festival!
Dawn is beginning to break over the town of Schlimmer
Beef-fat trimmer strides forward
Through the stinky morning mist
The sun it rises in the east
I smell bread rising with the yeast
For today is no ordinary day
It's the day of Festival
(Today I dance at the festival) The sun it rises in the east
(In lederhosen pants, yeah that's the festival) I smell bread rising with the yeast
(Ah!) For today is no ordinary day
It's the day of Festival
We see Gutenberg pulling a wagon
With the printing press inside
It is covered with a sheet
He is headed toward the town square
He still does not know the printing press
Has been destroyed
They'll go nuts
And lift me in their arms
When I show 'em my press
I'm taking to the festival
Oh, Gutenberg, I'm sorry
(I'm so psyched)
Forgive me (I'll be even more well liked)
The town will have his head
Once they see the printing press is dead
(Today I dance) The sun it rises in the east
Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg
I smell bread rising with
Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg, Gutenberg
For today
Is no ordinary day
It's the day (the festival day) of festival
It's the festival!

Festival
It's the best of all
It's the crest of all our desires
Festival
Takes the rest of all
Of your festivals to the fires
There is so much food and drink
It's just enough to make him think
That we should all be tickled pink
But I'm tellin' y'all let's dance
Don't forget
I met the devil in a haunted German wood
I'm a terrible monk
And I've got a plan
And it's happening like it should
His girl's in trouble
And the press is rubble
And his Guten-bubble's gonna burst
Now just wait and see
Wineman Mr. G
As they roast him like a bratwurst
Ah!
Why does he have to be so bad?
I've got daffodils
And some roses too
But you can't have one
Because you're a Jew!
Shut up!
Flower Girl
Why must you have this ridiculous hatred for the Jews?
It's irrational
And it's wrong
It upsets me to see my fellow townspeople acting this way
Just think about where all of this hatred could lead
Before you know it
We could be in the middle of a second world war
Which is why I have something
Under this sheet
That could unite us all!
Everyone gasps
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Well, well, well
What have we here?
It was a printing press
A printing press?
What's that for?
It was gonna change the world
Get him
The townspeople converge and attack Gutenberg
They are filled with an irrational mob mentality
Soon, they collect wood
Light a fire
And burn Gutenberg alive!
Lights shift
