Shrek The Musical Cast - I Think I Got You Beat Lyrics

FIONA:
(spoken)
There are things you don’t know, ya know.
About me. About how rough I had it!

SHREK:
(spoken)
What, in that cushy tower of yours?

FIONA:
(spoken)
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.

SHREK:
(spoken)
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 whiny.
I had a flaming heiney!

As I fled I had to wonder,
if I was 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.
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…
(sung)
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.

SHREK:
(he though he had her)
D’ah!

FIONA:
Ha-ha!

(Shrek lets a far slip out.)

SHREK:
(spoken)
Oopsy.
Ah well, better out than in I always say.

(Fiona considers, then lets one slip herself.)

(Shrek, impressed, now commences a duel of fats and burps.)

SHREK:
Hm-mmm-mm-mm-mm…
(burp)

FIONA:
Hm-mmm-mm-mm-mm…
(burp)

SHREK:
Hm-mmm-mm-mm-mm…

FIONA:
Hm-mmm-mm-mm-mm…
(burp, burp, burp, big burp)
Nya-nay-nay-nana-nyow-nyow…

(Freestyle burping and farting contest, until they fall out laughing.)

TOGETHER:
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
