[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

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
