i think i got you beat

Shrek - The Musical

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 a chamber-pot
And every morning I would boiled it
No choice, I had no toilet
Just a view of devastation out one window
Isolation in my bedroom
And very little headroom
20 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 was torn asunder
Would an oger 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

[No warm regards]
No Christma's card
[And every day]
Was a hell on Earth, yeah

Ok, top this
I missed my prom

My dad and mom sent me away
It was my birthday

I was sent away on Christma's eve

[Bare essentials, army cot]
No warm regards
[A hot plate and a chamber-pot
And every morning I will boiled it]
No Christma's card
[No choice, I had no toilet
Just a view of devastating out one window]
Every day was a hell on Earth day
[Isolation in my bedroom
With very little headroom
20 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
Luckily, those walls were padded]
It was my birthday

20 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
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
