Listen Up

Listen Up is a song in Tangled: The Series which is sung by Ruthless Ruth, Rapunzel, the Captain, and the Thugs, which expresses Ruth's life long dream to sing, but never had the courage to.

Lyrics:
Ruth: Since I was a lassie, just a sweet young thing, all I truly longed to do was makeup songs to sing. Sure my voice was rotten and had a pity twang, But I had dreams, and in my dreams this is what I sang.

Listen up, all you goons, Listen up and hear my tunes. Every line, boys, is mine So listen up.

Rapunzel : (spoken) Catchy.

Ruth: How I yearned to sing it, still, I was afraid. Guess I feared they'd call me weird and mocked the songs I made. So I shut my PIE HOLE!!! And hid my work away.

Rapunzel: But you had dreams.

Ruth: And in my dreams, this is what I played. Listen up, if you please. Listen to my melodies.

Rapunzel: Folks she wrote, every note,

Both: So listen up.

Ruth: I kept my song a secret, but carved it on this club, waiting till the perfect moment came. At last, I worked the nerve up, and stood before the pub, I let one note, come through my throat, And then I died of shame!

Big Nose: (spoken) Died?

Attila: (spoken)Died?

Ruth: (spoken) DEAD!

Ruth: And now I haunt this tavern, suffering for my art, Years and years of doubts and fears.

Rapunzel: It's time to heal your heart.

Ruth: I can end this curse now, If I can end the song.

Vladimir: (spoken) Like in your dreams.

Ruth: But in my dreams, You ALL must sing alo-o-o-ong!

Listen up, all you thugs, lift your voices and your mugs. Don't be shy, let it fly!

Thugs: Listen up!

Big Nose: Listen up!

Attila: Listen here!

Hook Foot: Raise the roof!

Shorty: And rock the house!

Thugs and Ruth: Make it loud, sing it proud, listen...

Ruth: (spoken) WAIT!

Rapunzel: (spoken) What's wrong?

Ruth: (spoken) HIM!

Rapunzel: (spoken) Come on! Everybody needs to sing.

Captain: (spoken) I-I haven't sung in quite some time, what if I'm rusty?

Shorty: (spoken) Your name's not "Rusty", it's "Captain". And I'm Susan.

Rapunzel: (spoken) Captain, please! It's almost midnight! We have to free Ruth!

Captain: Listen up, listen close. You're disgusting, old and gross! But your song, is quite strong. Listen up!

All: Listen up, listen up! Everybody raise your cup! Here's to Ruth, that's the truth. Listen up!

Ruth: Listen up!

All: Listen up!

Ruth: Listen up!

All: Listen up!
