James In The Bathroom (2019 Tony Awards)

Lyrics

[JAMES CORDEN, sung] I am hanging in the bathroom Inside Radio City Musical Hall I could stay right here because I fear I shouldn't host the Tonys at all You'd think being Tonys host Would feel like sitting On a Broadway throne Now I'm against the wall In this toilet stall As I scroll through Twitter On my phone Reading people say Corden's a talentless hag And why CBS can't Get Neil Patrick Harris back Now I'm just James in the bathroom James in the bathroom at the Tony's Broadway's biggest fraud I'm paranoid I'll fall Or trip or rip my tux Afraid that Anna Wintour think this outfit sucks I'm just James who you don't know James from the late late show James in the bathroom by himself [JOSH GROBAN, spoken] You're not by yourself James [JAMES CORDEN, spoken] Josh Groban How long have you been in the bathroom [JOSH GROBAN, spoken] Twelve months. Hosting the Tony's last year caused me such anxiety, I had to hide in the bathroom, and I still haven't left [SARA BAREILLES, spoken] Neither of us have [JAMES CORDEN, spoken] Sara Bareilles? I thought this was the mens' bathroom [SARA BAREILLES, spoken] It's 2019, James, get over it [JOSH GROBAN, spoken] Look we know that hosting the Tony's can leave you feeling empty [SARAH BAREILLES & JOSH GROBAN, sung] They think being Tony's host would give you All the Broadway glory you seek Till you remember you're the warm-up guy For shows that sell out eight times a week And inside your head, the voice of your mother cries "You should've gone to law school!" And your night's destroyed cause you're paranoid That everyone would rather be watching Big Little Lies! [ALL singing, JAMES CORDEN, JOSH GROBAN, SARAH BAREILLES] But it's just hosts in the bathroom Hosts in the bathroom at the Tony's God, we truly suck Will CBS get rid of hosts? Like the Oscars did? Will CBS swap us out For that Young Sheldon kid? Oh, we're just hosts that feel some loathing Bloated in our clothing Scared we'll make a stage gaffe In front of Laurie Metcalf God, she's such a treasure That's why we won't leisure Hanging in the bathroom by ourselves [JAMES CORDEN] Neil? Are you also hiding in the bathroom because you also having crippling insecurities? [NEIL PATRICK HARRIS, spoken] Insecurities? No, I just had to use the bathroom
