You’re Even Better Than You Think You Are

Lyrics

[LADIES] Da da da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da da da da [DB BONDS] When I started out writing musicals Which I did while I was here at Williams College I wrote three musicals here at Williams College And I would like to thank the community collectively for being so nice to me For the most part Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah [DB & LADIES] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah [DB] Because, for the most part The musicals were less than very good And instead of saying, "Billy, you have lost your head" Collectively the community said: [ALL] You're even better than you think you are Hey, har dee har You're going, going far Bravo, congratulations, lucky star Now just write another show Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah [DB] After thirty years writing musicals I can say that I have finally gotten decent But this getting decent happened really only recently And I would like to thank the community collectively for being so nice to me For the most part Because, my first three musicals Ask Irwin Shainman, were not very good— right, Irwin? And instead of saying, "You couldn't do much worse" Collectively the community sang to me in verse: [ALL] You're even better than you think you are Although bizarre You're going far Bravo, congratulations, lucky star Now just write another show Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah Write, write, write, write, write another Write another show, write another show Write, write, write, write, write another Write another show, write another show Write, write, write, write, write another Write another show, write another show Write, write, write, write, write, write Write, write, write, write, write, write You're even better than you think you are You're even better than you think you are You're even better than you think you are Now just write another show
