Okay, I'm gonna write a parody of "One Day More" from Les Miserables. It was a great movie.
VALJEAN
One chapter more!
Another hour, another editing
This never-ending road to Writing:
These characters who are a favorite of mine
Will surely come a second time.
One Chapter more!
MARIUS
I did not write that today
How can I live when that sentence looks stupid?
VALJEAN
One chapter more.
MARIUS & COSETTE
Tomorrow I'll be worlds away
And yet with writing, my world has started!
EPONINE
One more day will anyone's mind be blown?
MARIUS & COSETTE
Will I ever write again?
EPONINE
One more day feels like no one caring.
MARIUS & COSETTE
I was born to be a writer
EPONINE
What a life I might have known.
MARIUS & COSETTE
And I swear I will be true!
EPONINE
Just know my male characters mostly will have hair
ENJOLRAS
One more day before the storm!
MARIUS
Do I think that's an inspiration?
ENJOLRAS
One of my characters wants freedom.
MARIUS
Shall I join put a comma there?
ENJOLRAS
When our ranks begin to form
MARIUS
Do I stay; and do I dare?
ENJOLRAS
Will you take your place with me?
ALL
It is published now, the day is here!
VALJEAN
One chapter more!
JAVERT
One more day to artistic revolution,
We will nip creativity in the bud!
I will join these little wannabes
They will want to cuss!
VALJEAN
One chapter more!
M. & MME. THENARDIER
Watch the characters run amuck,
Catch 'em as they fall,
Never know your luck
When there's a fee for all,
Here a little `pick'
There a little `touch'
Most of the books are the same
So readers won't miss much!
Students (2 Groups)
1: One day to a new beginning
2: Raise your favorite character high!
1: Every man will be a reader
2: Every woman will be a reader
1: There's a new world for the winning
2: There's a new world to be won
ALL
Do you hear the people sing?
MARIUS
My place is here, I write with you!
VALJEAN
One chapter more!
MARIUS & COSETTE
I did not write this today.
EPONINE
Will anyone's mind be blown!
MARIUS & COSETTE
How can I live when the first chapter hasn't started?
JAVERT(overlapping)
I will steal their imagination
I will follow the plot flow
I will learn their little hang ups
They won't know what they know
VALJEAN
One Chapter more!
MARIUS & COSETTE
Tomorrow Ill be worlds away
EPONINE
What a life I might have known!
MARIUS & COSETTE
And yet with writing my world has started
JAVERT(overlapping)
One more day to artistic revolution
We will nip creativity in the bud
We'll be ready for these
Wannabes
THENARDIERS(overlapping)
Watch the characters amok
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free-for-all!
VALJEAN
Tomorrow we'll be published,
Tomorrow is the published date
ALL
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our author has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One chapter more!
