A/N: After awhile, I finally wrote this song. I noticed that Haley Macrae requested this song. So I completely fell in love with Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and has earned its place as one of my top ten favorite musicals, and then wrote this! Please review!
Great Big Songs – (Great Big Stuff from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels)
Erik:
I thought I'd seen it all.
I though I knew the score.
But right down here I've found a world I've never seen before.
Thought I knew where I belong.
A life without some class.
But here comes Christine and now there's music every place I pass!
What do I want?
I want her!
Yes, I want her!
I know I have a real gift.
Musical talent fits.
But Erik's gettin' ready now to give his life a lift.
I'm tired of having this face.
Be like the human race.
Christine wrapped up in my arms despite my ugly face!
I'll write great big songs!
This is how I gotta live!
Great big songs!
No, no, no alternative!
Great big songs!
I want my Christine, ooh!
I need her right now and I better get her soon!
I want a mansion with a moat
Around which we will float.
And a few different kinds of amazingly large boats.
A house that's close to the sea.
And lots of good Chinese tea.
But how do I get here?
Oh, my friends, you should never fear!
I'll write great big songs!
I really do deserve it!
Great big songs!
With servants who will serve it!
Great big songs!
Do I give a damn what it's for?
Every day's my birthday
Every night is my bar mitzvah!
Oh give me a home where my love Christine roams!
And I don't need a loan,
We've got a fortune going on!
The op'ra has us over
To sing about a twister
Oh, you know this is the life I really want to live, mister!
Great big songs!
Andre will love me!
Great big songs!
Get me a contract, Firmin!
Great big songs!
Hanging in the city
Christine's pretty in the carriage with me and a new star and prima donnas and whatever!
I'll change my name too!
Who wants a name like Erik?
The islands in the winter.
And France in the hot summer.
When I think about it I say it can't be a bummer!
The cash to keep us happy.
The music makes us snappy.
And traveling around the globe which makes us take a nap-py!
Great big songs!
Oh nothing that is crappy!
Great big songs!
They make the crowd so happy!
Great big songs!
Some so sad, and some so snappy!
Great big songs!
I'll write some really crazy stuff!
Great big songs!
Like Don Juan Triumphant!
Great big songs!
Or my own personal theme song!
Great big songs!
Some that are just plain wrong!
Great big songs!
Some that are great for a Broadway show!
Great big songs!
Great big sooooooooooooooooooooongs!
I just want the crowd to love me . . .
For my music!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
