Wants and Needs
(To the tune of "My Favourite Things" from "The Sound of Music")
Fireworks, ice sculptures, their admiration
Coming from fulfilling my aspiration,
Hundreds of shiny gold medals to flaunt,
These are the things that I desperately want.
. . .
Tall birthday cakes reaching up to the ceiling,
One of those pies would be really appealing –
Who am I kidding? I'll take a croissant:
These are the things that I desperately want.
. . .
He avoids me,
They're annoyed with me,
And I'm feeling sad,
But if I can just get the things that I want,
Maybe I won't feel so Bad!
. . .
I've climbed the tower that blights Hero's Duty.
Look, here's the medal – and my, it's a beauty!
Just when I think it's success guaranteed,
She steals the thing that I desperately need!
. . .
A kart of her own and the chance to be racing,
Trophies that for fifteen years she's been chasing,
Friends she can count on to help her succeed,
These are the things that she desperately needs.
. . .
Awful glitching,
Painful twitching –
I can see she's sad,
But if I can give her the things that she needs,
Maybe she won't feel so bad!
. . .
Fixing the world that I've already broken,
Taking back every false promise I've spoken,
Erasing damage I've done with this jaunt,
Right now, that's all that I desperately want.
. . .
Me spending every day treated like garbage,
Me being brave, saving her game from carnage,
Vanellope liking me ("How can that be?"),
These are the things they all needed to see.
. . .
It's quite shocking
That we're talking –
Still, I'm feeling glad.
I may not have got everything that I want,
But now I don't feel so Bad!
