[Will]
N.C.
If you want to make it to the top then you're gonna have to go through me,
Cause on the top is where I live and I will not be giving up that easily,
So there!
[Nick]
Oh man I have been waiting for this moment for so long
I'm gonna enjoy it when I knock you off your perch
[Will] Oh no you won't [Nick] Oh yes I will
[Will] Oh no you won't [Nick] Oh yes I will
[Will] Oh no you won't [Nick] Oh yes I will
[Will]
Oh no you won't my accomplishments are much more accomplished than yours
[Nick]
In your dreams I am the best
[Will]
You can't be the best because I am the best.
I have written 12 plays and each one is a testament to my great skill. I am the Will.
And I wrote the Taming of the Shrew and Richard III and Richard II and Henry's IV, V, VI
And Titus Andronicus and oh did I forget? Romeo and Juliet!
[Nick]
Well I have just written the thing that the critics are calling the greatest thing they've ever seen,
The people are loving it can't get enough of it everyone, even including the Queen!
She recently invited me, to her castle where she knighted me,
And privately she told me that you're not any good, not any good, not any good, not any good!
And she told me that all of your plays make her vomit
And none of them's as good as my musical Omelette!
C
N.C.
[Will] Wait a minute you wrote Omelette? [Nick] Yes
[Pre-Chorus]
E7 Am [Will] I never thought that I would meet my equal Gm C7 F But I concede that I've been bested by the best Bm7 E7 Am Maybe we could partner on a sequel
