When We're Human - Michael-Leon Wooley, Bruno Campos, Anika Noni Rose

Louis

If I were a human bein', I’d head strait for New Orleans

And I’d blow this horn so hot and strong like no one they’ve ever seen

You’ve heard of Louis Armstrong, Mr. Sidney Bechet?

All those boys gonna step aside when they hear this old ex-gator play

Listen…

When I’m human, as I hope to be

I’m gonna blow this horn 'til the cows come home

And everyone’s gonna bow down to me

Thank you, thank you…

Naveen

When I’m myself again, I want just the life I had

A great big party every night, that doesn’t sound too bad

A redhead on my left arm, a brunette on my right

A blonde or two to hold the candles, now that seems just about right

Eh, Louis?

Life is short

When you’re done, you’re done

We’re on this earth to have some fun

And that’s the way things are

(Tell it, brother!)

When I’m human, and I’m gonna be

I’m gonna tear it up like I did before

And that’s a royal guarantee

Tiana

Your modesty becomes you

And your sense of responsibility

I’ve worked hard for everything I’ve got

And that’s the way it’s supposed to be

When I’m a human being

At least I’ll act like one

If you do your best each and every day

Good things are sure to come your way

What you give is what you get

My daddy said that, and I’ll never forget

And I commend it to you

Louis, Naveen, and Tiana: When we’re human, and we’re gonna be

Louis: I’m gonna blow my horn…

Naveen: I’m gonna live the high life…

Tiana: I’m gonna do my best to take my place in the sun…

Louis, Naveen, and Tiana: When we’re human!
