16 Something Rotten! / Make an Omelette (Brian d'Arcy James, Brad Oscar & Rotten Ensemble)
NICK (spoken): Alas, poor yolk, I know thee well There's something rotten There's something rotten
NICK & ENSEMBLE: You can smell it You can tell there's something rotten Now the kingdom is shot And it's all gone to pot Heaven help us there is something rotten

NICK (spoken): My father newly dead and the funeral Boiled eggs now coldly furnished for the marriage table Methinks another chef might have whisked our desperate eggs together as one
WILL (spoken): Pray, nephew, what dost thou mean?
NICK (spoken): Well, I'll tell you The fruit of life can't always taste like sweet persimmons Sometimes it's hard to swallow I'm afraid But when life has handed you some lemons Then hand it back a mug of lemonade
My father said this to me That he did and then he blew me Away with wisdom simple and concise He said, "Eggbert, life is merely what you make of it So heed this sound advice"
You make wine from sour grapes You got a flat pancake, hey, call it a crepe When life gives you eggs, make an omelette You get cola from a nut A dirty worm makes silk from out of his butt When life gives you eggs, make an omelette Omelette
NICK & 3 ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: The solution to your troubles is Cheese and vegetables And making bacon omelette, yeah!
NICK : When it looks like you should quit Find another way of looking at it
NICK & 3 ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: When life gives you eggs
3 ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: You gotta make that om-om-om Om-om-om Om-om-om
Omelette Om-om-om Om-om-om Om-om-om Omelette
Omelette!
NICK (spoken): Father!
NOSTRADAMUS: The solution to your troubles Right here in River City Shipoopi, Chicago Omelette, yeah!
When it looks like you should quit
NOSTRADAMUS & ENSEMBLE : Find another way of looking at it When life gives you eggs Just a great big bowl of eggs When life gives you eggs You gotta make that omelette
NICK & 3 ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: Crack, splat, psss Crack, splat, psss Make an omelette Crack, splat, psss Make an omelette
3 ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: Make an omelette Make an omelette Make an omelette now
NICK (spoken): How?
3 ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: First melt a tablespoon of butter in a medium frying pan Over medium heat And sauté the onions and green pepper 'til they're tender Add the ham pieces
NICK: Make an omelette Make an omelette Make an omelette now
3 ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: Turn off the heat Let the omelette sit one minute in the skillet So the inside cooks right through
NICK: Take that egg and beat it Take that egg and beat it You gotta heat it and beat it, before you eat it So beat that egg Beat that egg Beat that egg
NICK & 3 ENSEMBLE MEMBERS: And that's how you make an omelette That's how you make an omelette That's how you make an omelette That's how you make it
WOMAN: And I am telling you I'm not gonna be an omelette Oh no, no, no
NICK (spoken): We really beat that omelette
ALL: You make wine from sour grapes You got a flat pancake, just call it a crepe When life gives you eggs, make an oh-oh-oh-omelette Take an egg and pass on by If your cholesterol's high, you'll probably die
When life gives you eggs Just a great big bowl of eggs When life gives you eggs You gotta make that om-om-om Om-om-om Om-om-om Om-om-om For heaven's sakes!
It was white and yellow And white and yellow And white and yellow And white Make an omelette!
