Showdown (feat. Big Fish Original Broadway Cast)

Lyrics

You see this man?
 This tired man?
 He's a liar and scoundrel to the core!
 You see this boy?
 Ungrateful boy?
 Now I know, I know,
 Something he's been hidin'
 Something that his pride will not reveal.
 He wastes his time
 Accusing me
 What exactly does this fellow feel?
 I feel like there's gonna be a hangin' tonight!
 There's gonna be a hangin' tonight!
 There's gonna be, we're soon to see
 A hell of a fight
 There's gonna be a hangin' tonight!
 ♪
 There's gonna be a hangin' tonight!
 That's right!
 Yes, there's gonna be a hangin' tonight!
 You see this folder in my hand
 You know exactly what it is
 Do I?
 Who'll be the first to tell us?
 Tell all you want but you will never understand
 So what comes next?
 (overlapping)
 What comes next?
 Comes next?
 Abide the law.
 Abide the law.
 You get a trial
 A trial
 A trial
 (spoken) Friends!
 Life is a trial!
 (spoken) No! You claim...
 (spoken) Son!
 (sung) You can't go back to what you were
 Your life won't re-run
 And you can't undo the things
 That you prefer be undone
 You can never change the past
 Though it may haunt every breath
 You can drown but be reborn
 If you're not frightened of death!
 You're so sure that I'm a rotten father
 Absent and lame
 Never interested in staying home
 Or homecoming game
 But maybe you're the one
 Imperfect son
 Who overreacts
 Better check with all your sources
 Before twisting the facts!
 So by no means did you visit Ashton?
 Back in my youth.
 Can you please explain precisely
 Why you're hiding the truth?
 I'm not hiding the truth!
 (spoken) Your Honor!
 (sung) I would like to submit
 One more major piece of evidence
 And then you'll acquit!
 Would you kindly tell the jury
 What you hold in the air?
 It says right here that it's a deed.
 To what?
 A house.
 Tell me where.
 Really son,
 I don't know what you think
 You're tryin' to prove.
 Where's the house?
 (spoken) It says in Ashton
 And that's somewhere that you've
 Never been to since your boyhood
 But this deed spells it out!
 There is someone living in this house
 Now what's this about?
 You insist you've never been there!
 Well, that might be the case!
 (spoken) Ahh! You're lyin'!
 (yelling) That's enough!
 You're lyin' right to my face!
 (spoken) Who is Jenny Hill?
 (spoken) Oh, come on Doc,
 (spoken) Take him away!
 (spoken) Oh come on! No!
 Now there's gonna be a hangin' tonight!
 There's gonna be a hangin' tonight!
 There's gotta be a sturdy scene
 At the end of the line
 'Cause there's gonna be a hangin'
 Gonna be a hangin'
 There's gonna be a hangin'
 Gonna be a hangin'
 A hangin'!
 A hangin'!
 A hangin'!
 A hangin'!
