I Think I Got You Beat

DAVID LINDSAY-ABAIRE, JEANINE TESORI

There are things you don't know
You know, about me, about how rough I had it
What, in that cushy tower of yours?
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
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

No warm regards
No Christmas cards

And every day (was Hell on Earth day)
Okay, top this!
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, a hot plate and a chamber pot (no warm regards)
And every morning, I would boil it No choice, I had no toilet! (No Christmas cards)
Just a view of devastation, out one window isolation (and every day was Hell on Earth day)
In my bedroom, and very little headroom
Twenty years, I sat and waited! (I missed my prom! My dad and mom)
I'm very dedicated (sent me away)
On the walls the days were added (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 (yeah)

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