Lyrics The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular) [Original Film Version] - Nicole Kidman , Ewan McGregor , Jim Broadbent

Spectacular, spectacular
No words in the vernacular
Can describe this great event
You'll be dumb with wonderment

Returns are fixed at ten percent
You must agree that's excellent
And on top of your fee
You'll be involved artistically

What do you mean by that?

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years

Elephants, Bohemians
Indians and courtesans
Acrobats and juggling bears
Exotic girls, fire-eaters
Musclemen, contortionists
Intrigue, danger and romance
Electric lights, machinery
All run with electricity

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years

Spectacular, spectacular!
No words in the vernacular
Can describe this great event
You'll be dumb with wonderment

The hills are alive, with the sound of music

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years
So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years

The courtesan and sitar man
Are pulled apart by an evil plan
But in the end she hears his song
And their love is just too strong

It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years

The sitar player's secret song
Helps them flee the evil one
Though the tyrant rants and rails, it is all to no avail

I am the evil maharajah! You will not escape!

Oh Harold, no one could play him like you could!

No one's going to!

So exciting, we'll make them laugh, we'll make them cry
So delighting

And in the end should someone die?

So exciting, the audience will stop and cheer
So delighting, it will run for fifty years

Generally, I like it!
