Our Little World Lyrics

Hello!

I am new to this forum! My name is Will. Any who...can someone please give me the lyrics to "Our Little World?" I have the Revival cast recording with that version of "Our Little World," but I was wondering if anyone had the original lyrics.

Thank you!

~ Will

Original lyrics? "Our Little World" was not in the Original Broadway production. Here are the ones I have:
Witch: CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING--

Rapunzel: AHHHH...

Witch: IF YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.

Rapunzel: AHHH...

Witch: NOTHING'S SO DISTRESSING, THOUGH
R RAPUNZEL AS WHEN THEY KEEP YOU GUESSING, SO
BE SURE YOU DON'T LEAVE ANY JARS AJAR.
MAKE A LITTLE
WORLD.
OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS BIG ENOUGH FOR ME--
PERFECT.

OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS ALL IT NEEDS TO BE--
PERFECT!

OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT!

Rapunzel: (overlapping) OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS BIG ENOUGH FOR ME--
OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS ALL IT NEEDS TO BE

BRUSHING MY HAIR
ONLY MY MOTHER
AND ME AND MY HAIR
OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT;

IF SHE DIDN'T DROOL.
AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH-AH--

Witch: (simultaneously with above)
Rapunzel. Rapunzel. Let down your hair to me! Rapunzel...Rapunzel!

(Rapunzel lowers her hair)

Witch: LOOK AT HER COMPLEXION,
STILL UNTOUCHED BY THE SUN.
CHILDREN NEED PROTECTION
JUST THE WAY THEY NEED AFFECTION;
OR THEY WONDER AND THEY WANDER
AND THEY RUN FROM YOUR LITTLE

WORLD.
OUR LITTLE WORLD--
PERFECT!
OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS EVERYTHING
A WORLD OUGHT TO BE--
PERFECT!
PERFECT!

TENDING HER HAIR.

STROKING HER HAIR
LOOKING AT HER HAIR
SOMETHING WE CAN SHARE,
HAIR--

OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT

NOTHING TO CHANGE HER;

EACH DAY
LIKE THE OTHER

NOTHING TO DIVERT HER,
TO DISCONCERT HER;
NOTHING
THAT CAN POSSIBLY
HURT HER...
OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT

Rapunzel: (overlapping) OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS ALL I HAVE TO SEE...

OUR LITTLE WORLD

IS EVERYTHING
A WORLD OUGHT TO BE

WASHING MY HAIR

DRYING MY HAIR
UNRAVELING MY HAIR
WINDING AND BINDING

AND MINDING MY HAIR--

OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT;
OR AT LEAST SO SHE CLAIMS.

IF SHE ONLY CUT HER NAILS

DIDN'T HAVE THOSE POINTY TEETH

TINY EYES...

OTHERWISE
OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT
AND WORLD ENOUGH
FOR ME--

Witch: OUR LITTLE WORLD--

BRAIDING HER HAIR...

IF WHAT WAS GROWING
WAS ONLY HER HAIR
AND NOT HER;
THAT I'D PREFER.
NEVERTHELESS.

OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT.

Rapunzel: (overlapping) GROWING MY HAIR

WHAT DO I CARE
WHAT THEY ARE DOING
OUT THERE?

OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT.

(after applause, MUSIC continues)
(Rapunzel grunts as the witch climbs up her hair)
Rapunzel and Witch: OUR LITTLE WORLD
IS PERFECT...

(RAPUNZEL grunts as the WITCH climbs up her hair)

Witch: DELICIOUS...

Rapunzel: UNH...

Witch: FULFILLING...

Rapunzel: UNH...

Witch: EXCLUSIVE...

Rapunzel: UNH...

Witch: EXEMPLARY...

Rapunzel: UNH...

Those lyrics that you gave are from the Revival cast! I knew I had the original lyrics from the Original London cast recording somewhere. I finally found them. So here they are:

“Our Little World”

Rapunzle: AH….
Witch: Children are a blessing
R: AH….
W: If you know where they are.
R: AH…
W: Nothing’s so distressing, though as when you keep you guessing so be sure you don’t leave any doors ajar. Make a little world
R: Our little world
W: Our little world
Both: Is big enough for me
W: Perfect
R: Our little world
W: Our little world
Both: Is all it needs to be
W: Perfect
R: Brushing my hair, combing my hair only my mother and me and my hair. Our little world
W: Our little world
Both: Is perfect
R: If she just didn’t drool,
AH…….
W: Rapunzle, Rapunzle let down your hair to me, Rapunzle, RAPUNZLE!
Look at her complexion; still untouched by the sun. Children need protection just the way they need affection or they wonder and they wander and they run from your little world.
R: Our little world
W: Our little world
R: Is all I have to see
W: Perfect
R: Our little world
W: Our little world
Both: Is everything a world ought to be
W: Perfect, perfect
R: Washing my hair
W: Tending her hair
R: Drying my hair
W: Stoking her hair
R: Unraveling my hair
W: Looking at her hair
R: Winding and binding and minding my
W: Something we can share
Both: Hair. Our little world is perfect
R: Or at least so she claims
W: Nothing to change her
R: If she only would cut her nails
W: Each day like the other
R: Didn’t have those pointy teeth
W: Nothing to devert her or disconcert her
R: Tiny eyes
W: Nothing that can possibly hurt her
R: Otherwise
Both: Our little world is perfect
R: And world enough for me
W: Our little world
R: Growing my hair
W: Braiding her hair
R: What do I care what they’re doing out there?
W: If what was growing was only her hair and not her, that I’d prefer. Nevertheless
R: Our little world
Both: Our little world
Both: Is perfect

For future reference, reference is spelled reference.

Thanks! I knew I spelled it wrong, but I couldn't think of the correct spelling!
