| Every day she asks me — when I’m gonna quit?
|
| One too many fridges on my head I’ve been hit
|
| So I sit in this green room — staring at the mirror
|
| She used to come backstage now she’s hardly ever here
|
| Yeah — but it’s really not her fault
|
| The industry is shady and I’m hoping one day Walt
|
| Will call me up for real and finally make an offer
|
| I hate the way she doubts me — as my dreams start growing smaller
|
| Every day — she’s downtown singing covers
|
| The joy is slowly dying even though I’ll always love her
|
| She tells me it’s pathetic how comedy defines
|
| The rabbit who I am, but I can’t seem to change her mind
|
| She says I should get serious — she’s furious it seems
|
| Because She’ll never next May West up on the silver screen
|
| It’s so toxic sipping coffee in the morning saying nothing
|
| She’s doubting me again and I’m so sick of this discussion (she says)
|
| Roger rabbit you’ve got to give it up (give it up!)
|
| Nobody’s showing up (showing up!)
|
| It’s time that you went home
|
| You got to give it up, because it’s over and you know
|
| How nice would it be — to quit — honestly?
|
| And not have to chase Baby Herman constantly?
|
| Round the kitchen all I’m wishin' is for soemthign else I think
|
| That My name up, on marquee is beginning to shrink
|
| Got managers reminding me to write back to the fans
|
| And agents on the line with mad commissions they demand
|
| And publicists straight burning through the budgets so inept
|
| To have another hit would be amazing I could get
|
| Better treatment — showing up on set
|
| Like Bugs, did you hear, that he’s got an on-call vet?
|
| And a chef who cooks him carrot cake when he wants a snack—
|
| I never get a parking space respect is what I lack
|
| I should have stayed in Kansas, man this kid was too ambitious
|
| While Jesica is screaming cursing throwing hella dishes
|
| I want to find a balance — could this be my final scene?
|
| Silly rabbit, why’d have to be so brave and chase my dreams? |
| (and she says)
|
| Roger rabbit you’ve got to give it up (give it up!)
|
| Nobody’s showing up (showing up!)
|
| It’s time that you went home
|
| You got to give it up, because it’s over and you know
|
| VERSE 3: (Beefy as Baby Herman)
|
| Roger, why you wanna go and ruin what’s been good to us?
|
| You feeling salty, like the money isn’t good enough?
|
| Is this about you and missus almost breaking up?
|
| Is you some kind of actor that’s too snooty for this Goofy stuff?
|
| Chilling in my stroller smoking stogies
|
| But, Roger, I need this money for these fourteen alimonies!
|
| And you know this, you know me, I’m a little old-school
|
| So it’s hard for me to have to tell you that I need you
|
| Knew it since the read through, you had it in your soul!
|
| Went and told Raoul to send those lesser rabbits home
|
| You and me got something special, and while you’re not the best
|
| You’re the one that I rely on and I’m always so impressed
|
| How you’re always such a pro, make me look like I’m the novice
|
| Posters with our faces up in the studio president’s office
|
| Never thought that we’d make it, I’d kind of like to stay
|
| Without you Herman’s infantile, I’ll cry and fade away
|
| Roger rabbit you’ve got to give it up (give it up!)
|
| Nobody’s showing up (showing up!)
|
| It’s time that you went home
|
| You got to give it up, because it’s over and you know
