I Think I Got You Beat
Sutton Foster
4:38Settle in girls, it's story time There's a princess In a tower Oh my gosh, that's just like me Poor Rapunzel Needs a haircut But the witch won't set her free She passes time by singing Like someone else I know As years go by she sits and waits As years go by? Uh-oh A torturous existence I don't remember this part She wishes she were dead? Skip ahead, skip ahead But in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire The prince is good at climbing And braiding golden hair So I know, he'll appear 'Cause there are rules and there are strictures I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight My white knight, and his steed Will look just like these pictures It won't be long now, I guarantee Day number twenty-three I know it's today I know it's today Oh, here's a good one! It's a classic! There's a princess In a coma Glad it's her instead of me Pretty maiden In a glass box How, I wonder, does she pee? Blah, blah, blah, poison apple Boring boring, evil queen Filler filler, been there, read that! Seven shorties on the scene Skip ahead, skip ahead! But in the end the princess wakes up with a start The prince is good at kissing And melting Snow White's heart! So I know, he'll appear And his armor will be blinding As shining as his perfect teeth And manly hose He'll propose On one knee And our pre-nup will be binding About time we set the wedding date Day number nine hundred and fifty-eight I know it's today He'll show up today! There's a princess Any princess Take your pick, they're all like me Not exactly, I'm still waiting They're out living happily Ever after better get here I want love in seconds flat No one needs these middle bits Whoops, did I do that? Cut the villains, cut the vamping Cut this fairy tale Cut the peril and the pitfalls Cut the puppet and the whale Cut the monsters! Cut the curses! Keep the intro! Cut the verses! And the waiting! The waiting! The waiting! The waiting! The waiting! But I know, he'll appear Though I seem a bit bipolar And I'm a vandal now as well, hope he won't mind I'm a find, I'm a catch And a very gifted bowler It won't be long now, I guarantee! Day number Are you there, God? It's me, Fiona It's me, Fiona! Now I know, he'll appear 'Cause there are rules and there are strictures I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight My white knight, my knight and his steed Will look just like these pictures It won't be long now, I guarantee Day number twenty-three Day number nine fifty-eight Day number eight thousand, four hundred, and twenty-three I know it's today, ooh I know it's today, ooh I know it's today, ooh I know it's today, ooh I know it's today, ooh I know it's today I know it's today I know it's today!
