"I Can Hear the Bells" by Nikki Blonsky (repetition - epistrophe)

TRACY
I can hear the bells

PENNY
Tracy, are you all right?

TRACY
Well, don'tcha hear them chime?

PENNY
I don't hear anything.

TRACY 
Can't 'cha feel my heartbeat keeping perfect time? 
And all because he

Touched me
He looked at me and stared, yes he 
Bumped me 
My heart was unprepared when he 
Tapped me 
And knocked me off my feet
One little touch 
Now my life's complete 'cause when he 

Nudged me 
Love put me in a fix, yes it 
Hit me 
Just like a ton of bricks, yes my 
Heart burst 
Now i know what life's about 
One little touch 
And love's knocked me out and, 

TRACY (& ENSEMBLE) 
I can hear the bells 
My head is spinning 
I can hear the bells 
Something's beginning 

Everybody says 
That a girl who looks like me 
Can't win his love 
Well, just wait and see 'cause 

I can hear the bells 
Just hear them chiming 
I can hear the bells 
My temp'rature's climbing

I cant contain my joy 
'Cause i fin'ly found the boy 
I've been missin' 
Listen! 
I can hear the bells 

Round one
He'll ask me on a date and then
Round two
I'll primp, but won't late because
Round three's
When we kiss inside his car
Won't go all the way
But i'll go pretty far!
And then,

Round four 
He'll ask me for my hand and then 
Round five 
We'll book the wedding band so by 
Round six 
Amber, much to your surprise 
This heavyweight champion 
Takes the prize and... 

I can hear the bells 
My ears are ringing 
I can hear the bells 
The bridesmaids are singing 

Everybody says
Thet a guy who's such a gem
Won't look my way
Well, the laugh's on them 'cause
I can hear the bells

My father will smile 
I can hear the bells 
As he walks me down the aisle 

My mother starts to cry 
But i can't see 'cause Link and i 
Are french kissin' 
Listen! 
I can hear the bells 

I can hear the bells 
My head is reeling 
I can hear the bells 
I can't stop the pealing 

Everybody warns 
That he won't like what he'll see 
But i know that he'll look 
Inside of me yeah, 

I can hear the bells 
Today's just the start 'cause 
I can hear the bells 
And 'til death do us part 

And even when we die 
We'll look down from up above 
Remembering the night 
That we two fell in love 

We both will share a tear 
And he'll whisper as we're reminiscin' 
Listen! 
I can hear the bells 

ENSEMBLE
She can hear the bells

TRACY
I can hear the bells

ENSEMBLE
She can hear the bells

TRACY
I can hear the bells

ENSEMBLE
Bum, bum, bum, bum!
