Lyrics of 'Prologue' by Natasha Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 (The Musical)

[Pierre]
There’s a war going on out there somewhere
and Andrey isn’t here

And this is all in your program you are at the opera
Gonna have to study up a little bit if you wanna keep with the plot
Cuz it’s a complicated Russian novel everyone’s got nine different names
So look it up in your program
We’d appreciate it, thanks a lot
da da da da da da da da da
