Sutton Foster, Brian D’Arcy James - I Think I Got You Beat lyrics

There are things you don't know, ya know
About me, about how rough I had it

What? In that cushy tower of yours?

Cushy? Are you kidding? (sung)
I had nothing in that tower
Fighting boredom by the hour
Princess lonely, walking circles i had only
Bare essentials, army cot

A hot plate and chamber pot
And every morning I would boil it
No choice, I had no toilet
Just a view of devastation
Out one window, isolation in my bedroom

And very little headroom
Twenty years I sat and waited
I'm very dedicated
On the walls, the days were added
Luckily those walls were padded

So I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat

Oh, you think so that was a sad story but
(sung) i've heard better, I'm just saying
A for effort, thanks for playing
Sad to see a princess suffer

But, I had it rougher
Like that time a mob with torches
Burned my britches, see the scorches
You're just whiney, I had a flaming hiney

As I fled, I had to wonder
If I were torn asunder
Would an ogre go to Heaven?
Did I mention I was seven?

So, I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat

No warm regards no Christmas cards
Nd everyday was hell on earth day
Okay, top this! (sung) i missed my prom

My dad and mom sent me away
It was my birthday
I was sent away on Christmas Eve, ha, ha

Bare essentials, army cot (No warm regards)
A hot plate and chamber pot
And every morning I would boil it
(No Christmas cards)
No choice, I had no toilet

Just a view of devastation (And every day)
Out one window, isolation
(Was hell on earth day) in my bedroom
And very little headroom
Twenty years I sat and waited

("I missed my prom!") i'm very dedicated
(My dad and mom sent me away)
On the walls the days were added
Luckily those walls were padded

(It was my birthday)
Twenty years ("I missed my prom!")
My dad and mom sent me away so
So i think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I got you beat

I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oopsie!
Oh well better out than in, I always say!
Chuckles hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm burps
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm burps
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm burps

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm burps three times
Na na na, na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na
Burps rhythmically and farts

Oh! No! Watch out!
Pull my finger! No no no, no no no! Whew!

Yeah, yeah! yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah! yeah, yeah!
