A Place Called Slaughter Race

"A Place Called Slaughter Race" is an Orchestral-Broadway-style song featured in Disney's 2018 animated feature film, Ralph Breaks the Internet. It is performed by Sarah Silverman as Vanellope von Schweetz and Gal Gadot as Shank. The end credits of the film feature a pop version titled "In This Place" performed by Julia Michaels. Despite its song title, it is still considered an orchestral or musical-style song however.
==Plot==
While visiting Oh My Disney, Ariel breaks into song (accompanied by offscreen music and staging). This confuses Vanellope, but the other princesses are unfazed as most of them have had their musical moments, all of which relate to their dreams. They inspire Vanellope to tap into her deepest desire and find her song. When Vanellope attempts to do so later on, she expresses her desire to be part of a new and exciting place outside of Sugar Rush and comes to realize Slaughter Race might be that place.

Vanellope: 
What can it be that calls me to this place today?
This lawless car ballet?
What can it be?
Am I a baby pigeon sprouting wings to soar?
Was that a metaphor?
Hey, there's a dollar store!
Look! I'm rhyming!
My spirit's climbing!
As I'm called through this fog of mace
To this place called Slaughter Race!
Shank: 
Welcome back, watch your head
Hate to see you wind up dead
Thief: 
Let's get this party rollin'!
Vanellope: 
Is that appliance stolen?
Shank: 
We have-
Butcher Boy: 
Fallen wires!
Little Debbie: 
Dumpster fires!
Clown: 
Creepy clowns!
Felony: 
And burning tires!
Shank: 
That great white in the sewer
You'll be happy that you knew her!
Vanellope: 
Fin bump!
Shark: 
Dogs and cats, they sure taste great!
Dog #1: 
With a side of license plate!
Dog #2: 
Some find us deplorable
Vanellope: 
Well, I think you're adorable!
Shank: 
We may be a motley crew,
But our hearts ring true
Tattoo Artist: 
And just for you a face tattoo!
(instrumental break)
Chorus:
 Ohh...
Slaughter Race...
Vanellope: 
My heart's in flight and wow, it's a blast!
Feels like my dreams are real at last!
Shank: 
No trace of a frown upon your face!
Vanellope:
 Flying so fast!
Shank: 
Setting the pace!
Vanellope:
 Living the life!
Shank: 
Loving the chase!
Vanellope: 
Now is the time!
Shank: 
Here is the place!
Both: 
This Slaughter Race!
Vanellope: 
I know I should go,
But home feels so slow
These roads are paved with dreams
Clown: 
Happy dreams, not creepy clown dreams.
Vanellope: 
What would Ralph say,
If it turns out I stay
In this place called "Slaughter Race"?
In this place called "Slaughter Race"
|-|In This Place=
What can it be that calls me to this place today?
This lawless car ballet?
What can it be?
Am I a baby pigeon sprouting wings to soar?
Was that a metaphor
For something more?
And now I'm flying my spirit
Climbing as I'm called through this fall of mace (uhh-ooh)
My body, my spirit aligning in this
In this place called Slaughter Race
Slaughter Race
What would you say if it turns out that I stay?
Would it be okay here in this place?
Cuz you know that I love these falling wires
Dumpster fires
Burning tires
Everything that I desire, everything that I desire
Now I'm flying my spirit
Climbing as I'm called through this fall of mace (uhh-ooh)
My body, my spirit aligning in this
In this place called Slaughter Race
Slaughter Race
I know I should go but I really don't want to yet
I really don't want to yet
I know I should go but I really don't want to yet
I really don't want to yet
There's nothing like Slaughter Race
Slaughter Race
Is all I hear is Slaughter Race
All I hear is Slaughter Race
All I hear is Slaughter Race
Is all I hear is Slaughter Race
Yeah
