Lyrics of Bottom’s Gonna Be on Top by Brian d'Arcy James,Rotten Company
No more ′Mr Anonymous' No more world that is Nick Bottom-less
My name will be synonymous
With being on the top...
I can see it now,
I′m the cats meow
It's a hit pow!
It's gonna be great gonna be great.
Everywhere I go,
They will love me so,
Hail my name oh!
It′s gonna be great gonna be great.
Master Bottom you′re such a wonderful writer!
"Oh, you really think so?"
And your talent is talent beyond compare!
"Why thank you!"
You're a star, you are and you couldn′t be brighter!
"Now you're just embarrassing me!"
You′re a real visionary!
"Thank you Jesus and Hail Mary!"
This Bottom's gonna be on top
This Bottom′s gonna be on top
Man I'm gonna sizzle,
Man I'm gonna pop!
And this Bottom′s gonna be on top!
This is heaven sent,
Feeling confident
Money well spent,
It′s gonna be great
Gonna be great!
Throw a big parade,
Praises will be made,
Compliments paid,
It's gonna be great,
Gonna be great!
Me and Baby are so eternally grateful.
"You′re who I'm doing it for!"
Thank you for our cottage in the woods.
If gratitude were food I′d have a big plateful!
"Nice metaphor, bro!"
You're the greatest!
You the man!
"I really shouldn′t say it but yes I am!"
This Bottom's gonna be on top,
This Bottom's gonna be on top!
Once I get going,
Never gonna stop!
And this Bottom′s gonna be on top!
We are the Royalty of the Renaissance Writers,
Now we′re handing down the crown to you.
You were a nobody but then overnight you're someone
Better than the rest of us,
Now you are the best of us.
Not so fast.
Ah, hello Will
I knew you wouldn′t go down without a fight.
The tops are nay,
Thou surely doth jest,
I say it on my honour here
I doth protest.
Yawn.
Rhyming?
That is so 1580s
Oh yeah? Well...
If you wanna make it to the top
Then you're gonna have to go through me.
′Cause on the top is where I live and I will not be giving up so easily.
So there!
Oh man I have been waiting for this moment for so long
I'm gonna enjoy it when I knock you of your perch.
Oh no you won′t.
Oh yes I will.
Oh no you won't.
Oh yes I will.
Oh no you won't.
Oh yes I will.
Oh no you won′t.
My accomplishments are much more
Accomplished than yours.
In your dreams!
I am the best.
You can′t be the best because I am the best,
I have written twelve plays and each one is a testament
To my great skill.
I am the Will.
And I wrote Taming of the Shrew and
Richard ||| and Richard || and Henry's |||| and V and V||
And Titus Andromocus.
Oh and did I forget?
Romeo,
And Juliet!
Well I have just written the thing that the critics are calling the greatest thing they′ve ever seen.
The people are loving it, can't get enough of it,
Everyone even including
The Queen.
She recently invited me,
To her castle where she knighted me.
And privately she told me that you′re
Not any good
Not any good
Not any good
Not any good!
And she told me that all of your plays make her vomit
And nothing's as good as my musical Omlette.
Wait a minute.
You wrote Omlette?
Yes.
I never thought that I would meet my equal!
But I can see it I have been bested by the best.
Maybe we could partner on a sequel?
Oh my, how the tide has turned.
Let′s review, what have we learned?
See you were here, but now we've swapped,
So kiss this Bottom I'm on the top!
Yeah!
(He′s on top)
Right where I wanna be!
Yeah this Bottom′s gonna be on top!
He's on top
He′s on top
Wah wah wah wah
Yeah this Bottom's gonna be on top!
Yeah this Bottom′s gonna be on top!
Yea this Bottom's gonna be on top!
"You want us to write..."Omlette?
Ugh I′m not so sure about this."
Well I am, little brother.
So raise a glass to 'Omlette, The Musical!'
Bottom′s up!"
Bottom′s up!
Yeah this Bottom's gonna be on top!
