The Lyrics
On November 18 and 19 of 2005, I will be playing the part of "Marshall Brown" in The Nashoba Players' new dinner theatre production, "The Award Show". At the request of the director, I've been "commissioned" to write some parodies of show-tunes that we will use in this upcoming performance of "The Award Show". This particular parody will be sung by the characters Marshall Brown (the TV studio director) and The Award Show Lovelies, after every suspect has vehemently denied stabbing the relentless Paparazzi, Nick Measley.
[ ALL ]
You gotta look out
[ MARSHALL ]
For yourself
Better start thinkin' me-first
'Til your fortunes are re-versed
And a winner you've become!
[ ALL ]
You gotta look out
[ MARSHALL ]
For yourself
If you're stuck in a morass
Then you better save your ass
It's a major rule of thumb!
This world ain't pure
On this you can depend
You'd best be sure
That you're your own best friend!
[ ALL ]
You gotta look out
[ MARSHALL ]
For yourself
If they're thinkin' you killed Nick
Show 'em all your goodwill quick!
No ill will for that shrill di-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ick!
[ ALL ]
You gotta look
Out
For yourself
You know the score when you adore yourself
When you're the slick quick-pick for stickin' Nick,
Just shou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-t,
LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF!
You gotta look out
[ MARSHALL ]
For yourself
Better start thinkin' me-first
'Til your fortunes are re-versed
And a winner you've become!
[ ALL ]
You gotta look out
[ MARSHALL ]
For yourself
If you're stuck in a morass
Then you better save your ass
It's a major rule of thumb!
This world ain't pure
On this you can depend
You'd best be sure
That you're your own best friend!
[ ALL ]
You gotta look out
[ MARSHALL ]
For yourself
If they're thinkin' you killed Nick
Show 'em all your goodwill quick!
No ill will for that shrill di-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ick!
[ ALL ]
You gotta look
Out
For yourself
You know the score when you adore yourself
When you're the slick quick-pick for stickin' Nick,
Just shou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-t,
LOOK OUT FOR YOURSELF!
