I Like Musicals Lyrics by Laura Benanti

2016

[Verse 1]
I wish I were cool
I wish I were rock and roll
I wish I were Jewel (Jewel)
Or Alanis Morissette
Maybe I should learn to play guitar
But I'm too busy listening to My Fair Lady in my car
[Chorus]
'Cause I, I like Julie Andrews more than Britney Spears
And I know that I went to your punk show
But I secretly had tissue in my ears
'Cause I like musicals
[Verse 2]
You call me a freak (freak)
Say I'm the biggest loser in our town
But if in high school you peak
There's nowhere left to go but down
That's great, you get to cheer for the football team (S-P-R-I-T-E)
(spoken)
What?
(sung)
I'll be in my bedroom dreaming the impossible dream
[Chorus]
'Cause I, well, I know I'm not as popular as you
(Popular, like Wicked; ugh, never mind)
And I, I've got better things to do
Like listen to musicals
[Verse 3]
It doesn't have to be this way (It doesn't have to be this way)
Just because I'm in the play (May 15 through 17)
You and I could still be friends
Just as soon as this VHS of Sound of Music ends
[Verse 4]
'Cause I, I like Julie Andrews more than Britney Spears
(Don't get me wrong, I still like Britney Spears)
And I, I've been hiding this for years
That I like musicals
