- “Catchy.”
- ―Rapunzel
"Listen Up" is a song sung by Ruthless Ruth in Tangled: The Series, "The Wrath of Ruthless Ruth". It expresses Ruth's life long dream to sing but never had the courage to. That was until, in spirit, Rapunzel gave her some encouragement.
Lyrics
Ruth: Since I was a lassie
Just a sweet young thing
All I truly longed to do
Was make up 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 poise is mine
So listen up
How I earned to sing it
Still I was afraid
Guess I feared they call me weired
And muffed 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 not
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: Died?
Attila: Died?
Ruth: DEAD!
And now I haunt this tavern
Suffering from my heart
Years and years of doubts and fear
Rapunzel: It's time to heave your heart
Ruth: I can end this curse now
If I can end the song
Vladimir: Like in your dreams
Ruth: But in my dreams
You ALL must sing along
Listen up all you thugs
Lift your voices and your mug
Don't be shy let it fly
Pug Thugs: Listen up
Big Nose: Listen up
Attila: Listen hear
Hook Foot: Raise the roof
Shorty: Around the hall
All: Make it loud sing it proud...
Ruth: WAIT!
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
