Lyrics I Like Musicals - Laura Benanti

I wish I were cool
I wish I were rock and roll
I wish I were Jewel (Jewel)
Or Alanis Morissette

Maybe I should learn to play guitar
But I'm too busy listening to My Fair Lady in my car

Cause I
I like Julie Andrews more than Britney Spears
And I know that I went to your punk show, but I secretly had tissue in my ears
Cause I like musicals

You call me a freak (Freak)
Say I'm the biggest loser in our town
But if in high school you peak there's no where else to go but down

That's great you get to cheer for the football team (S-P-R-I-T-E) What?
I'll be in my bedroom dreaming the impossible dream

Cause I
Well I know I'm not as popular as you (Popular like Wicked, ugh, never mind)
And I, I've got better things to do
Like listen to musicals

It doesn't have to be this way (it doesn't have to be this way)
Just because I'm in the play (May 15 through 17)
You and I could still be friends just as soon as this VHS of Sound of Music ends

Cause I
I like Julie Andrews more than Britney Spears (Don't get me wrong, I still like Britney Spears)
And I
I've been hiding this for years
And I like musicals
