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

Fiona: There are things you don’t know.

You know, about me, about how rough I

had it.

Shrek: What, in that cushy tower of yours?

Fiona: Cushy?

Are you kidding?

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.

Shrek: (spoken) Oh, you think so?

That was a sad story, but…

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.

Fiona: No warm regards

Shrek: No Christmas cards

Fiona: And every day

Shrek: Was Hell on Earth day

Fiona: (spoken) Okay, top this!

I missed my prom!

Shrek: My dad and mom sent me away…

It was my birthday.

Fiona: (spoken) I was sent away on Christmas Eve

Ha ha!

Fiona: Bare essentials, army cot, a hot plate and a chamber pot.

Shrek: No warm regards

Fiona: And every morning, I would boil it.

No choice, I had no toilet!

Shrek: No Christmas cards

Fiona: Just a view of devastation, out one window isolation.

In my bedroom,

and very little headroom.

Shrek: And every day was Hell on Earth day

Fiona: Twenty years, I sat and waited!

Shrek: (mocking) I missed my prom!

Fiona: I’m very dedicated, on the walls the days were added.

Shrek:

My dad and mom sent me away…

Fiona: Luckily those walls were padded!

Shrek: It was my birthday!

Fiona: (spoken) 20 years!

Shrek: (mocking) I missed my prom!

Both: My dad and mom

Sent me away

Fiona: So…

Shrek: So…

Both: I think I got you beat

Shrek: Yeah

Both: I think I got you beat

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
