Lyrics
[PORTIA] I love Sidney and Marlowe and often I borrow Their words to express how I feel I love poems of mystery, fantasy, history Oh, what seductive appeal At night, alone in my bedroom Satisfying my need The candlelight fire ignites my desire To read

Oh Every time I hear a perfect rhyme I get all tingly Because I know That to find a perfect rhyme is not an easy thing-ly

I love the places that words let me go I love the way that your words move me so No words have touched me the way that yours do And I love—

(spoken) You are really doing something to me, Mr. Poetry Man Oh, forgive me, I never get to discuss poems in this way

[NIGEL (spoken)] Oh, it's ok, I just never knew that poetry could affect someone the way it affects me [PORTIA (spoken)] Me neither

[NIGEL] It's the end-all, the be-all, oh, you oughta see all The books that I have on my shelf

[PORTIA] Me too! I find pleasure perusing those writings and musings So often I pleasure myself Wait, that didn't sound right

[NIGEL] No, I know what you mean When I'm deep in the throes of impassionate prose I could scream

[PORTIA (spoken)] You scream?

[NIGEL (spoken)] Yeah

[PORTIA (spoken)] So do I! AHH! (sung) Oh I love a lilting line of lyrical alliteration

[NIGEL] Who doesn't love alliteration?

[PORTIA] And then I'm like "woah" When the phrases come together like a consummation

[NIGEL] It's sweet elation

[PORTIA & NIGEL] I love the places that words let me go I love the way that your words move me so I love that you feel the same way I do And I love

You know that I love You know that I love

[NIGEL (spoken)] Me too
