NICK:
I bet you'd never tell your girlfriend to shut up,
Even though she's stuck up.
You'd be pushing your luck.
She should hear what you're really like with your mates
'Coz your language is great.
You misappropriate.
You'd never get to second base.
Go on and take a swing at me
But when she sees my injury
You know she's giving you the freeze.
L-l-l-look at me, said she,
I've perfect grades and I'm miss popularity.
I am the law, and I'll should the door 'coz I'm Miss Double D.

ROBBIE:
You always told me not to take this shit from chicks.
You're a lying prick.
DAN:
Suck my dick.
BUDDY:
Even Robbie's seen more bush than you
And he ain't got a clue about what to do.
NICK:
Fellas!
Fancy bitches don't shave their snatch -
they get a wax around their axe.
L-l-l-look at me, said she,
You want me baby, you better act accordingly.
I am the law, and I'll show you the door 'coz I'm Miss Double D.

RAFF:
Girls, let me hear you say yeah.
For pushed up skirts and ruffled hair.
Girls, let me hear your call
For midnight trysts any time at all.
Girls, let me hear you say yeah yeah yeah.
For pushed up skirts and ruffled hair.
Girls, let me hear your call
For midnight trysts any time at all.
Boys. All that you can do.
Boys. Is make them please you.
Boys. Have no time for love.
Can't wait for push and shove.
Boys. All we want from them.
Can I hear you say Amen?
GIRLS:
Contact rush, with an electric touch.

DAN:
L-l-l-look at me, what do you see?
A guy who's got you all aroused jealously.
I take what I get, better to play it slow than live in regret.
NICK:

SALLY:
He gives me everything I want and I don't to say a word
He answers all my questions I ask silently, unheard.
I know I'm not the first girl to say that her guys know how to make her day,
But it's true what he can do.
He won't slow until I... y'know.
He's under my thumb, makes me come undone.
He won't stop. Always puts me on top.
He's so hopelessly devoted to me.
---
DAN:
She gives me everything I want and I don't have to ask her twice,
Any time I want it she knows and wakes me up with a surprise.
I know it sounds like I'm telling lies but I'm telling truths while you all fantasise.
Why do you think I'm always so tired?
DAN/SALLY:
She/He won't slow until I... y'know.
She's/He's under my thumb, makes me come undone.
She/He won't stop. Always puts me on top.
She/He's so hopelessly devoted to me.
NICK:
I give him everything he wants when nobody's around
And when he can reciprocate I barely touch the ground.
I want to tell the world but he's still with that girl.
He's with her around our friends, but at night he's in our bed.
DAN/SALLY:
She/He won't slow until I... y'know.
NICK:
Suddenly it's more than fun.
DAN/SALLY:
She's/He's under my thumb, makes me come undone.
She/He won't stop. Always puts me on top.
NICK:
I won't stop until I come out on top. You'll see.
DAN/SALLY:
She/He's so hopelessly devoted to me.

Asked a girl out on a date
And for once she said yes.
She was a looker, a solid eight,
And then there's her dress.
Up to here.
Down to there.
Her backless dress I must confess
Gave me a monster, a monster, yeah.
It was a monster, a monster yeah,
the thing had a life of its own.
She looks at me with eyes that thrill,
And my pulse starts to race.
Pouts her lips, says she has a chill,
I slip my arm round her waist.
Something's there, under her hair,
My hand brushed past, I fell half-mast.
It was a monster, a monster yeah.
She had a monster, a monster yeah,
thing had a life of its own.
That zit was so big it had eyes and a face.
That zit moved away and bought its own place.
That zit met a man and they married that spring.
That zit was big enough to do anything.
That zit had an affair, after only a month.
That zit, it turns out, was a bit of a cunt.
That zit made me feel like I was gonna spew.
That zit...
It was a monster, a monster yeah.
It was a monster, a monster yeah,
the thing got a life of its own.
A life of its own,
A life of its own,
A life of its own.

MARNIE:
I came here for one reason.
I wanted to get off my face,
Shot for shot at my own pace 'til I can't stand upright.
BUDDY:
Right.
I came here for one reason too.
Pull a girl and try my luck.
Find a room where we can..
MARNIE:
Fuck.
Buddy, what went wrong tonight?
The party had such promise, I think it was just kicking off.
I'd done some lines with Frank and Raff, then,
suddenly we're out of smirnoff...
BUDDY:
Blame it on the booze,
Blame it on the hooch,
But I think this happened partially because of you.
BOTH:
Why can't I bite my tongue?
Why can't I clench my teeth and lock my jaw?
And say no more?
Have all my secrets keep, open-mouthed and words will seep.
Come undone.
Why can't I bite my tongue?
BUDDY:
The party's looking desperate, it's time to raise the roof!
But how are we gonna do that?
MARNIE:
The answer's all around you!
Keepers finders let's all get blinded.
Keepers finders let's all get blinded.
Some of this, more of that.
Hey Buddy, guess what?
You're it!
It's time to raise the cup, it's time to drink it up.
BOTH:
Why can't I bite my tongue?
Why can't I clench my teeth and lock my jaw?
And say no more?
Have all my secrets keep, open-mouthed and words will seep.
Come undone.
Why can't I bite my tongue?
Why can't I bite my tongue?
MARNIE:
Why won't you bite my...

DANNY:
I won't always remember what's so special about December,
I have you to do it for me.
Sometimes I get frustrated. No matter, I could never hate it.
I have you and that's all I can see.
DANNY/NICK:
Every moment, every day,
I didn't take enough time to say
How I am thankful you made me tall,
Now I am here, waiting, to say it all.
Freely state the cost of what I've lost.
DANNY:
I won't always remember what's so special about December,
But I'll try to so you don't have to.

Sera Duff - Worse Things

RAFF:
Well it turns out the song is true
And there are certainly worse things you could do.
I could rely on a man to pull me through
Or learn to take care of myself.
Well it turns out there are worse looks they give you
Than the ones when you've gone with a boy, or two.
Who are you to make a scene of it?
This is my life, not yours.
Well it turns out there are worse things you can do
Than get high, fucked up, and kiss a boy who don't belong to you.
I ain't done a thing like that,
And I don't make no strife.
My only crime is wanting to lead my own life.
I have always been my own person.
Always done what I wanted to do.
I'm my own person - why would that change for you?
Well it turns out there are worse things you can be
Than a slut. You could become a mum at just eighteen.
Could I put my life on hold, my dreams back on the shelf?
My only crime is wanting to better myself.
I have always been my own person.
Always done what I wanted to do.
I'm my own person - why would that change?
How could that change?
Why would that change for you?

DANNY:
Every moment, every day
I didn't take enough time to say
How I am thankful you made me tall.
Now I am here, waiting, to say it all.
NICK:
Every moment, every day,
I have been waiting for you to say
"Now I have chosen, I'm here to stay."
DANNY:
"Now I have chosen, I'm here to stay."
You are the one, standing by me.
You are the one, though I have stalled.
You are my friend, but more important,
It was you after all.
NICK:
Please don't be joking, please don't be dreamed.
I can't believe how fake this all seems.
DANNY:
I wouldn't fake this, I've no more lies,
Nickie please hear me,
Hear what I've tried to say all of this time.
NICK:
You are the one, standing by me.
You are the one.
DANNY:
Like it or not.
NICK:
You are a dick.
DANNY:
I know you love me.
NICK:
I know you love me.
BOTH:
You're the one that I want, you.
