Brian d'Arcy James & Sutton Foster - Shrek the Musical (Original Cast Recording) [Touring Version]

I Think I Got You Beat

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
Yeeeaaahh,
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 torchers 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.
Haha.

No warm regards
(Bare essentials
Army cot a hot plate and chamber pot.)

No christmas cars
(And every morning I would boil it.
No choice I had no toilet.)

And every day was hell on earth day
(Just a view of devastation out one window,
isolation in my bedroom and very little headroom)

My dad and mom send me away, it was my birthday
(twenty years I sat and waited I'm very dedicated on the
walls the days were added luckily those walls were padded)

I miss 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
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I think I got you beat
Yeah
