Shame (lyrics and music by C.R.Lewis) (Sung by Frollo:) Ever since the Garden of Eden, we've had a problem Wild and reckless women out of control How will we ever get to Heaven? How will we ever get there with them Dragging the rest of us down below? Sometimes I wonder if God knew what He was doing It's basic to know how to quit while You're still ahead Taking a perfectly good rib and Working while Adam was asleep then Leaving poor Adam to contend with The very thing he had to dread Without Shame, without Shame, without Shame Adam woke without Shame Without Shame, without Shame, without Shame Had to cope without Shame By the time he knew to run for cover That Garden party was all over Paradise was lost because they had no Shame Only a bite and then both pairs of eyes were opened One tiny bite made it clearer than it could be The Price of Knowing Good and Evil Made self-respect beyond retrieval And shame to think they had received the The Last Free Lunch of History Such a Shame, such a Shame, such a Shame There it was, such a Shame What a Shame, what a Shame, what a Shame Yes indeed, what a Shame Don't kid yourselves that things are different Their Sin forever left its imprint And our one salvation is to know our Shame Praise, give thanks unto the Lord If you know what's good for you And if our guidance you refuse You'll find Hell is nothing to What-we'll-put-you-THROUGH Yeah! That's right! How do you think you'll get to Heaven? No, no, you'll never get to Heaven No way to ever get there without Shame Where would the rest of us all be if The Rank and File were feeling free, if They ran about here Shamelessly Without a stitch of shame to answer to? Without Shame, without Shame, not a thing Could be done without Shame We need Shame, we need Shame, to sustain I maintain, we need Shame The only thing we've got to threaten Is that they'll never get to Heaven No, no, they'll never get there without Shame You have to pay for what you're given You have to suffer for your living Oh no, you can't exist without Shame And now as it was in the Beginning The Game insures they'll keep on sinning And we'll keep winning, yes, without Shame We'll keep on winning, boys, without Shame We'll keep on winning without Shame
