(Punters)
Welcome, welcome everyone,
Is this your first time?
Here’s a place of miracles 
Where the music is divine

Let your hair down have some fun,
We’re sure you’re gonna love,
The Blue Tango Club.

Got the glamour, got the style,
The talent’s pretty good,
Some people are saying it’s
Like Glasgow’s Hollywood.

Let your hair down have some fun,
We’re sure you’re gonna love,
The Blue Tango Club.

(Staff)
The place is stinkin’ of sweat and smoke
We work all night and that’s no joke,
We deal with bampots and drunken bums
In the Blue Tango Club

(Punters)
Welcome, welcome everyone,
The band are hot tonight
The legendary Jazzgo boys 
Will play until it’s light

Let your hair down have some fun,
We’re sure you’re gonna love,
The Blue Tango Club.

(Staff)
The floor is sticky, the bogs are too,
The boss is shady, got a gang tattoo,
Couples all snoggin’, this place is boggin’
It’s the Blue Tango Club

(Punters)
Welcome, welcome everyone,

The Style
The Pizzazz
The Glamour

The Blue Tango Club Opening Song

Recit: She’s in again
She’s in again.
You’re having a laugh?
What’s her obsession with this manky gaff?
The old cougar’s prowling
Want’s a bloke, that’s my guess,
Maybe she’s boss man Jack’s latest conquest?!!
They laugh
She’s in again.
It’s always the same,
Same time, same table,
Same dress, and  same drink,
I’m only saying it’s strange
Don’t you think?

Song; Who’s that Lady?
(Chorus)
Who’s that lady?
Sweet little lady,
Same time, same place,
Same old clothes and the same sad face,
Who’s that lady?
Strange little lady?
What’s her story?
Does anybody know?


(Punter 1)
She’s a stalker and she’s after me,
I’m fearing for my life
I think I kinda like it that she’s after me 
Just don’t tell my wife- that’s the story of the lady.

(Chorus)
Who’s that lady? (Who’s that lady?)
Sweet little lady,  (Sweet little lady)
Same time, same place,
Same old clothes and the same sad face,
Who’s that lady? (Who’s that lady?)
Strange little lady? (Strange little lady)
What’s her story?
Does anybody know?

(Punter 2)
She’s the ghost of the Tango Club,
You’d better watch her back
She wants revenge for the other night,
When her husband killed her with an axe- that’s the story of the lady.

(Group 1)
Who’s that lady? Sweet little lady.
Who’s that lady? Sweet little lady.

(Group 2)
Same time, same place. Same old clothes and the same sad face.
Same time, same place. Same old clothes and the same sad face.

(Group 3)
What’s her story? Whats her story?

(Solo)

What’s her story? I guess we’ll never know……

Recit: Lonely Lady’s Lament
I know how it must seem
I know how I appear
Just a lonely old dear
Maybe looking for love?
But they don’t trouble me
If they just leave me be
They don’t know this hour each night
Is the one little light
In this lonely lady’s life

‘Cause the memory stays strong today
Of the moment they took him away
Little child that was mine
Only for that brief time
Just a beat of our hearts 
Then they tore us apart

Now I see how he’s grown
He’s such a fine young man
Eyes that sparkle and shine
No doubting he’s mine
And though he’ll never see
Never recognise me
Should I tell him tonight?
That he’s the light in this lonely lady’s life?

‘Cause the memory stays strong today
Of the moment they took him away
Little child that was mine
Only for that brief time
Just a beat of our hearts 
Then they tore us apart

‘Cause the memory stays strong today










Recit/ Who's that Lady?/Lonely lady Lament

Stepping into the Light

Mairie
I’m stepping into the light,
Gonna make it my night
For a moment it feels right,
Just one song, one dance,
I’ve got one shot, one chance,
And I’ll make it mine,
I won’t mess up this time
You’ll see that 
I’m stepping on to the stage,
Doing things my own way
Gotta be a sensation.
The whole world hears me sing, and says
“Wow! Thats a star!”

Punters and staff
We’d like to have a word with you,
Like good pals should
It’s London road you’re singin’ in
Not Hollywood
You can sing , that we know,
But it’s Glasgow
Not some West End Show
Hey lassie, geez a break, come on
It’s clear to see
The furthest gig you’re gonna get 
Is in Dundee
So pour some drinks and then you’ll be a star!

(Mairie)
Who knows where this road will go?
(Punters and staff)
Maybe Ruchazie?
(Mairie)
To New York or Baltimore?
(Punters and staff)
We think you’re crazy
(Mairie)
Don’t stop me now

Mairie
I’m stepping into the light,
Gonna make it my night
For a moment it feels right,
Just one song, one dance,
I’ve got one shot, one chance,
And I’ll make it mine,
I won’t mess up this time
You’ll see that 
I’m stepping on to the stage,
Doing things my own way
Gotta be a sensation.
The whole world hears me sing, and says:

Hey lassie, geez a break, come on

Both

Stepping Into The Light

(William)
It Breaks my heart to see you in this crappy little bar,
So please let me make you a star
Together we can take a trip to where the bright lights are. 
So please let me make you a star

I close my eyes and see you there on Broadway,
All your hopes and dreams have been fulfilled,
“A New star is in town!” that’s what they’ll all say,
Cos Judy Garland’s second on the bill.

Every week I see you and I want you in my world
So please let me make you my girl.

(Individual bar staff)
Hey bawjaws,, wake up and smell the coffee,
I’d say compared to you that lassie’s posh,
I’m telling you, she’s in a different league, son,
She’d no’ look twice at you if you’d no dosh.

(All cast except William)
It Breaks his heart to see her in this crappy little bar,
(William)
So please let me make you a star
(All cast except William)
Together they could take a trip to where the bright lights are. 
(William)
So please let me make you a star

I close my eyes and see you there on Broadway,
All your hopes and dreams have been fulfilled,
“A New star is in town!” that’s what they’ll all say,
Cos Judy Garland’s second on the bill.

Every week I see you and I want you in my world
So please let me make you my girl.

Now I’ve laid everything on the line, It’s hard for me,
The question is- what will your answer be?


Let Me Make You A Star

Recit 1

Marie (the waitress)
Someone told me once this was a place where dreams came true
One night at the Blue Tango Club can change your life for good
But I’m still waiting for that day
The day I get to shine upon this stage...

Now I wait on tables, pour the drinks, clean up the puke
Waiting for the night my life might change...

Bouncer Brian Enters
(spoken) Haw, Cinderella, enough with the fairytales, there’s a mop and bucket with your name on it, get those bogs cleaned quick smart!

(to audience) 
Good evening, come inside
You’ve picked a belter of a night 
To drop on by,
Don’t ask me why,
Don’t want to give the game away,
But let’s just say
This might be
The Last Night at the Blue Tango Club.


Recit 1

The Last Night 

Undercover Policeman

Hold it right there!
Nobody move!
You’re under arrest Jack Blue…

We’ve been watching you for months on end
Now your dealing days are done my friend,
We’ve seen you selling time and time again behind the bar 

We’ve been counting up the debts you’ve got 
The tax man’s bill is biggest of the lot
You’ve got no choice you’ve got to sell this club, 
You’ve been a clown, you’re going down.

It’s the last night at the tango club
It’s the last night now you’re going bust,
It’s the last night at the tango club
It’s time to shut this old place down.

Jack

What’s going on here pal, hey, what’s the fuss?
My staff will tell you I’m the perfect boss
If I did a deal or two, so what? That’s just life.
Lock me up no need to hang around
Put the sign up that we’re closing down
It wont be long before I’m back in town
I tell you Jack is coming back!

It’s the last night at the tango club
It’s the last night now I’m going bust,
It’s the last night at the tango club
It’s time to shut this old place down.
