Finish the Lyrics Game - Musical Edition

Hello!
I haven't had a game since June 2017. Wow, yikes. Well, it's about time! Last Saturday I watched a famous musical that I had never seen before and have been singing the songs ever since. Because of that, I decided to have a song game!

Here is how it works:
I will have a line with blanks in it. You need to fill in the blanks, name the song and tell me what movie musical it is from!
5 points per correct word, song title and movie.
10 bonus points if you guess which one I just saw for the first time.
I will post the answers next week.
Post your answers in the comments, for now the comments will be on moderation so nothing is spoiled for the other players.
Use your memory! I know you can do it.

Enjoy!

1. "A gentle breeze from _____ _____ softly blows over _____ _____, It fills the sails of boats that are waiting, waiting to sail your _____ away."


2. "With my high starched-collar and my high-topped shoes, and my hair piled high upon my head, I went to lose a _____ hour on the _____ and lost my _____ instead."


3. "Look _____, look _____, you'll always be a _____. Look _____, look _____, you're standing in your _____."


4. "_____ supposes his toeses are roses, but _____ supposes _____."


5. "_____ you're a dead man walking, thinking that's your only _____. But you can flip the switch and _____ up your darkest day!"


6. "But, oh, if we _____ the whole thing _____ then we must part. And, oh, if we ever part, then that might _____ my heart."


7. "And it _____ make one bit of _____ if I answer right or wrong, when you're _____ they think you really know."


8. "Too long we've been _____, needing so much more than dusting. Needing _____, a chance to use our _____!"


9. "Ha-ha-ha! Ho-ho-ho! And a couple of tra-la-las! That's how we laugh the day away in the _____ _____ _____ _____ _____!"


10. "Ya got Trouble, folks, right here in _____ _____. Trouble with a capital T that rhymes with P that stands for _____!"



See you with the answers next week!

  2. Oh, dear. I thought I'd be good at this, but it appears our taste in musicals are quite different.

    Even so, I do know a couple!

    8. "Too long we've been rusting, needing so much more than dusting, needing exercise, a chance to use our skills." from "Be Our Guest" (Beauty & the Beast)

    9. "Ha-ha-ha! Ho-ho-ho! And a couple of tra-la-las! That's how we laugh the day away in the merry old land of Oz!" from "Merry Old Land of Oz" (The Wizard of Oz)

    One or two of the others sound vaguely familiar...but idk.

    Fun game, though! I love TWoO. I have known those songs since I was 3, so you can't trip me up with that one at least! Hahaha ;)

    1. Right after I posted this I thought of a ton of classic musicals and realized that those were probably easier to guess. XD Oh well.

      That's awesome! I don't know all the lyrics of TWoO songs, but I have been watching it for as long as I can remember.

      Thank you so much for guessing, Elanor!

  3. I could only make out a couple but I hope I got them right!

    3. Look Down from Les Miserables
    “Look down, look down, you’ll always be a slave. Look down, look down, you’re standing in your grave.”

    8. Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast
    “Too long we’ve been rusting, needing so much more than dusting. Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills!”

    9. In the Merry Old Land of Oz from the Wizard of Oz
    “Ha-ha-ha! Ho-ho-ho! And a couple of tra-la-las! That’s how we laugh the day away in the merry old land of Oz!”

    And I think that’s it! (If one of them are from Sound of Music or Phantom of the Opera, I’m done 0_0)
    XD This was fun! Thanks for posting this, MC! Can’t wait to find out the results!!!

    1. I didn't even think of The Sound of Music until you commented! My sisters should be ashamed of me, we've watched that so many times I've lost count.

      Thanks! I'm so glad that you guessed and had fun!

    5) Blanks: [Think] (or [think that]), [option], [brighten] // Song title: "Come Alive" // Movie: The Greatest Showman

    That was fun! Thanks for the game. :) And, I don't know . . . is The Music Man by any chance the one you just watched? I feel like not. XD Anyhow, looking forward to seeing the answers!
