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

I Think I Got You Beat

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
I think I got you beat
Shrek: Yeah
Fiona: Yeah
Shrek: Yeah
Fiona: Yeah
Shrek: Yeah
Fiona: Yeah
Shrek: Yeah
Both: I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Shrek: Yeah
Fiona: Yeah
Shrek: Yeah
Fiona: Yeah
Shrek: Yeah
Fiona: Yeah
Shrek: Yeah
Both: I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
