Blow, Gabriel, Blow

by 2011 Broadway Cast of Anything Goes

[RENO, spoken]
Do you hear that playing?

[COMPANY, spoken]
Yes, I hear that playing!

[RENO, spoken]
Do you know who's playing?

[COMPANY, spoken]
No, who is that playing?

[RENO]
Why, it's Gabriel, Gabriel playing
Gabriel, Gabriel saying
"Will you be ready to go
When I blow my horn?"

Oh, blow, Gabriel, blow
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
But now I'm willing to trim my lamp
So blow, Gabriel, blow

Oh, I was low, Gabriel, low
Mighty low, Gabriel, low
But now since I've seen the light
I'm good by day and I'm good by night
So blow, Gabriel, blow

[RENO]
And now I'm all ready to fly
Yes, to fly higher and higher
'Cause I've gone through brimstone
And I've been through the fire
And I've purged my soul
And my heart too
So climb up the mountaintop

[Dance interlude.]

[RENO]
Come on you scamps, get up you sinners
You're all too full of expensive dinners
Stand up on your lazy feet and sing

[ALL]
Come on and blow, Gabriel, blow
Go on and blow, Gabriel, blow
I've been a sinner, I've been a scamp
But now I'm willing to trim my lamp
So blow, Gabriel, blow
I was low, Gabriel, low
Mighty low, Gabriel, low
But now since I've seen the light
I'm good by day and I'm good by night
So blow, Gabriel, blow

[Dance interlude.]

[RENO]
Once I was headed for hell
Once I was headed for hell
But when I got to Satan's door

[RENO & ALL]
I heard you blowing on your horn once more

[RENO]
So I said

[RENO & ALL]
"Satan, farewell"

[RENO]
And now I'm all ready to fly
Yes, to fly higher and higher
'Cause I've gone through brimstone
And I've been through the fire

[RENO & ALL, (ANGELS)]
And I've purged my soul
And my heart too
So climb up the mountaintop
And start to blow, Gabriel, blow
Gabriel, blow
Gabriel, blow, blow, blow that horn
Blow (blow that horn), Gabriel, blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow
Blow (blow that horn), Gabriel, blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow, blow, blow that horn
Blow (blow that horn), Gabriel, blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow
Come on and blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow (blow that horn)
Gabriel, blow, blow, blow that horn

[RENO]
I wanna join your happy band
And play all day in the Promised Land
So blow, Gabriel

[ALL]
Blow, blow that horn, Gabriel
Blow, blow that horn, Gabriel

[RENO & ALL]
Blow

[ALL]
Blow that horn, Gabriel

[RENO & ALL]
Blow
