Avenue Q Purpose Lyrics

Purpose Lyrics

Princeton:

Purpose.

It’s that little flame

That lights a fire 

Under your ass.

Ha!

Purpose.

It keeps you going strong

Like a car with a full

Tank of gas.



Everyone else has a purpose,

So what’s mine?



Oh look. 

Here’s a penny.

It’s from the year I was born.



It’s a sign!



Ha! Ba ba ba ba doo doo doo doo doo.



I don’t know how I know,

But I’m gonna find my purpose.

I don’t know where I’m gonna look,

But I’m gonna find my purpose.



Gotta find out.

Don’t wanna wait.

Got to make sure that my life will be great.

Gotta find my purpose.

Before it’s too late.



Ensemble: 

He’s gonna find his purpose.



Princeton:

Whoa ooh oh.



Princeton and Ensemble:

I’m [He’s] gonna find my [his] purpose.



Ensemble: 

He’s gonna find his purpose.



Princeton:

Yeaaah yeah yea.



Princeton and Ensemble:

I’m [He’s] gonna find my [his] purpose.



Princeton:

Could be far.

Could be near.

Could take a week

A month

A year

At a job. 

Or smoking grass. 

Ha!

Maybe at a pottery class.

Could it be?

Yes it could. 

Something’s coming. 

Something good.



I’m gonna find my purpose.

Yeah. 



Ensemble: You’re gonna find your purpose.



Princeton:

Whoa ooh oh.

I’m gonna find it!



What will it be? Where will it be?

My purpose in life is a mystery.

Gotta find my purpose. 

Gotta find me.



Ensemble:

You’re gonna find your purpose.



Princeton:

Whoa ooh oh.

I’m gonna find my purpose.



Ensemble:

Your’re gonna find your purpose.



Princeton:

Pur- pur- purpose 

Yeah yeah. 

I gotta find me!
