Trip A Little Light Fantastic Lyrics - Lin-manuel Miranda

Let's say you're lost in a park, sure 

You can give in to the dark or 

You can trip a little light fantastic with me 

When you're alone in your room 

Your choice's just embrace the gloom 

Or you can trip a little light fantastic with me 

For if you hide under the covers 

You might never see the day 

But if a spark can start inside your heart 

Then you can always find the way 

So when life is getting dreary 

Just pretend that you're a leerie 

As you trip a little light fantastic with me

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

"What's a leerie" 

"Why it's what we lamplighters call ourselves of 

Course. Leeries trip the lights and lead the way" 

Now when you're stuck in the mist, sure 

You can struggle and resist or 

You can trip a little light fantastic with me 

Now say you're lost in the crowd, well 

You can stamp and scream out loud or 

You can trip a little light fantastic with me 

And when the fog comes rolling in, just 

Keep your feet upon the path 

Mustn't mope and frown or worst lie down 

Don't let it be your epitaph 

So when life is getting scary 

Be your own illuminary 

Who can shine the light for 

All the world to see 

As you trip a little light fantastic with me

"A leerie loves the edge of night, 

Though dim to him the world looks 

Bright, he's got the gift of second sight" 

"To trip a little light fantastic" 

"A leerie's job's to light the way" 

"To tame the night and make it day" 

"We mimic the moon, yes that's our aim" 

"For we're the keepers of the flame 

And if you're deep inside the tunnel 

When there is no end in sight 

Well just carry on until the dawn 

It's darkest right before the light 

As you trip a little light fantastic 

Won't you trip a little light fantastic 

Come on, trip a little light fantastic with me 

Oy, oy, oy 

"Come along, join us in a bit of 

Kick and prance" 

"What did he say?" 

"Kick and prance, it means dance 

It's leerie speak 

You don't say the words you mean 

You say something that rhymes 

Only. Here, I'll show you how it works 

Angus! 

Give us your weep and wail 

To the rest of ya, that means tail" 

"I was short of a sheet" 

"It was in the street" 

"Just a tumble down a sink" 

"Just to get himself a drink" 

"Then I pinch what's better" 

"He grabbed his ladder" 

"He smiled and smirked to work!" 

"You see there's nothing to it" 

"Can you speak leerie Mary Poppins?" 

"Can I speak leerie?" 

"Course she can, she's Mary Poppins!" 

"Can we do it with you?" 

"Please!" 

"Oh very well then" 

"Children, tell us story tale" 

"Give us your weep and wail!" 

"Well, we had this boat" 

"Rabbit in the hole" 

"That fell and broke" 

"Bicycle spoke" 

"So we took it to a shop" 

"Like a lollipop" 

"And went upside down" 

"That's a circus clown" 

"Then went to the bank" 

"Rattle and clank" 

"Got lost in the fog" 

"Lump on the log" 

"Till we found a friend" 

"To stand and defend" 

"Who took us on a trip" 

"Snapped a horse's whip" 

"And we tripped a little light fantastic!" 

"Now that sounds a little bit bombastic" 

"But they tripped the light" 

"We tripped a light" 

"Let's trip a little light fantastic!" 

Join us Mary Poppins! 

Hey 

You've got it, now let's get you all back home 

Now if you're life is getting foggy 

That's no reason to complain 

There's so much in store 

Inside the door at 17 Cherry Tree Lane 

So when troubles are incessant 

Simply be more incandescent 

For your light comes with my 

Lifetime guarantee 

As you trip a little light fantastic 

Won't you trip a little light fantastic 

Come on, trip a little light fantastic 

With me 

(Went to the bank. Rattle and clank 

Met with a boss. Pitch and toss 

Got lost in the fog. Lump on a log) 

Trip a little light fantastic!
