Ten Dollar Solo Music by Joss Whedon and Jed Whedon Lyrics by Joss Whedon Performed by Stacy Shirk and Neil Patrick Harris [Verse 1]

        E              F#
(STACY) They think I’m no one

G#m
I don’t have a name

E                  F#
But I want to live forever

G#m
Just like in Fame

A                                            E
(But not as depressing; I hear the remake is better)

[Verse 2]

E                F#
Two weeks in the business

G#m
Still got no breaks

E                       F#
The people all say I’ll never

G#m
Have what it takes

A
But I can’t lose

G#
I’ve paid my dues

[Chorus]

C#m        G#m
Ten dollar solo

F#          G#
Worth every dime

C#m           B
My path is so steep

       F#         E
But my god Joss is cheap

E                             F#
And doesn’t mind wasting your time

[Verse 3]

E                 F#
See the bad horse chorus

G#m
Jump into frame

E                    F#
They tell me I’m not ready

G#m
To get in the game

A
But I’ll show them

G#
My ATM

[Chorus]

C#m        G#m
Ten dollar solo

F#         G#
Not bad so far

C#m              B
There’s internal rhyme

         F#         E
Although not every instance

                                           F#
And the meter is occasionally a little bit bizarre

[Bridge]

G#m                   C#m
They say Hollywood is heartless

G#m                     C#m
And only the strongest survives

G#m            G
But I like it plenty

F#            E
I gave Joss a twenty

E                            Eb
And got back a dream and two fives

G#
So here comes my

[Chorus]

       C#m        G#m
(NEIL) Ten dollar solo (Solomente baby!)

        F#             G#m
(STACY) No, this is my scene (NEIL) Your scene, I’ve seen your scene

C#m               B
(STACY)You’re wonderful, Neil

         F#
But Joss made me a deal

        E                    F#
(NEIL) Suck it, I gave him fifteen! Yeaeeeaaahh!!!

[Outro]

                 F#          Bbm
(STACY AND NEIL)Ten dollar lame-o

        F
(STACY) Are those the words now?

                                   Bb
(STACY AND NEIL) How could I (you) know

     Ebm           F#
That Joss pays his debt

Bbm              F#
With this cheesy duet

Ebm
When you stoop so low

F                          F# F F# G# Ebm Bbm G#m E A
Then you say so long... Solo......................
