A Cautionary Tale Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Mean Girls

Mean Girls (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2018

[JANIS]
It's a cautionary tale of fear and lust and pride
Based on actual events where people died
[DAMIAN, spoken]
No one died
(sung)
But how far would you go
To be popular and hot?
Would you resist temptation?
[JANIS]
No, you would not!
Just admit it, sometimes
[BOTH]
Mean is what you are
Mean is easier than nice
And though mean can take you far
Maybe this will make you think twice
[DAMIAN, Spoken]
Kick! Layout! Fosse!
[BOTH]
This is a cautionary tale
About corruption and betrayal!
[DAMIAN]
And getting hit by a bus!
[JANIS]
You can't buy integrity at the mall, it's not for sale
[DAMIAN, spoken]
Nice
[JANIS, spoken]
Thank you
[BOTH]
This is a cautionary tale
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, oh
Ayyayah, ayyayah
[DAMIAN, spoken]
Our story begins across the globe in Africa. Africa!
