Lyrics Chip On My Shoulder - Sheridan Smith feat. The 'Legally Blonde the Musical - Original London Cast' Company & Alex Gaumond

(Elle) Love
I put my faith in love
I followed where it led
(Emmett) Love led you here?
(Elle) To my personal circle of hell
It has not worked out well
I wish that I were dead
Cos instead of a wedding and love
I'm flunking out of school
I'm a total laughing stock
Someone he and his friends can just mock
So go on here's my head
Just hit it with a rock
(Emmett) Wait... You came out here to follow a man?
Harvard Law was just part of that plan?
Man, what rich romantic planet are you from?
(Elle) Malibu?
(Emmett) Instead of lying outside by the pool
You stalked some guy to an Ivy League school
That's the weirdest reason I have...
(Elle) Oh why'd you come?
(Emmett) Okay, I grew up in the Roxbury slums
With my mum and a series of bums
Guys who showed me all the ways a man can fail
I got through Law school by busting my ass
Worked two jobs in addition to class
So forgive me for not weeping at your tale
(Elle) Well excuse me, just because you've got some kind of chip on your shoulder
(Emmett) You know what, you're right
There's a chip on my shoulder
And it's big as a boulder
With the chance I've been given
I'm gonna be driven as hell
I'm so close I can taste it
So I'm not gonna waste it
Yeah, there's a chip on my shoulder
You might wanna get one as well
(Elle) Two jobs? Plus Law school?
(Emmett) I haven't slept since 1995
(Elle) Seriously, how do you do it?
(Emmett) Well, I don't go to parties a lot
Not good use of the time that I've got
Can't spend hours doing my hair or staying in shape
(Elle) I don't spend hours
(Emmett) But I know it will all be worth while
When I win my first lucrative trial
And buy my mum that great big house out on the Cape
(Elle) That's so sweet
(Emmett) No, that's the chip on my shoulder
I hugged my mom and told her
With the chance I've been given
I'm gonna be driven as hell
Though I can't take the day off
I just think of the pay off
You need a chip on your shoulder
Little Miss Woods comma Elle
(Elle) No, I just need to prove to everyone that I'm serious
(Emmett) What you need is to get to work
(Elle) Make yourself at home
(Emmett) You drink a lot of Red Bull don't you?
(Elle) It gives me energy!
(Emmett) Where are those Law books?
(Elle) Uhhh, umm, they're here somwhere
(Emmett) You know, this vanity's real picturesque
But it started it's life as a desk
Clear it off and find some room for books instead
(Elle) What are you doing?
(Emmett) Can you live without this?
Can you live without that?
I don't know what this is
(Elle) It's for hair
(Emmett) Wear a hat
Spend your time improving what's inside your head
Out
Out
Put it in storage
Sell it on Ebay
Leave it behind
Out
Out
What are you angry?
Good, so get angry
You may find a chip on your shoulder
(Elle) Ugh
(Emmett) Ohh, the room just got colder
(Elle) Hey!
(Emmett) But with the chance you've been given
Why are you not driven as hell?
There's just no way around it
You've gotta plough through till you-
(Elle) Found it!
(Emmett) Been reading it hard I can tell
(Delta Nu) Tis a gift to be simple
Tis a gift to be free
Mmmmmmmm
(Elle) Bye Warner, Happy Thanksgiving, say hi to your mum and dad for me, and Grandma Bootsy
(Emmett) What is this? My second? Third? I don't know but I am loving it!
Okay, define malum prohibitum
(Elle) Malum prohibitum is...
(Emmett) Is an act prohibited-
(Elle) Is an act prohibited by law, like jaywalking, or chewing gum in Singapore
(Emmett) Therefore, malum in se is?
(Elle) Is an action that is evil in itself - assault, murder, white shoes after labour day
(Emmett) Good
Where are you going?
(Elle) How of course, it's the Thanksgiving break, remember?
(Emmett) Interesting...
(Elle) What?
(Emmett) Well, I predict you will probably pass
(Elle) Yes!
(Emmett) In the bottom percent of your class
(Elle) What?
(Emmett) If you're going for mediocre, you've done great
(Elle) That's not fair
(Emmett) Look, they laughed at me like they're laughing at you
We can't win if we don't follow through
Might I venture your vacation plans can wait?
(Elle) Why do you always have to be right?
(Delta Nu) Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oria
In excelsis deo
(Elle) Bye Warner, Merry Christmas
(Emmett) Ho ho ho
(Elle) Oh, Emmett, this is my friend Paulette
(Emmett) Hi
(Paulette) Hey there
(Emmett) For you, not quite as good as going home for christmas, but
(Elle) You're too sweet
(Emmett) It's a real time saver, it's shampoo and conditioner in one
(Paulette) Oh, haircare? I love this guy. So I'll just leave you two alone
(Elle) Thank you, you are so adorable to think of me-
(Warner) Elle, hey, have you seen Viv? I've been looking everywhere for her
(Elle) Yeah...
I mean no.
(Warner) Great, we're gonna miss our flight
(Emmett) Elle?
I don't know if you've noticed before
But each time Warner walks through the door
Your IQ goes down to 40
Maybe less
(Elle) Huh?
(Emmett) Though it's hardly my business to say
Could it be the real thing in your way
Is the very guy you're trying to impress?
(Elle) Yes.
I've been smiling and sweet
And thoroughly beat and blowing my chance
Lets not chase him away
Lets face him and say
Hey punk, lets dance
This chip on my shoulder
Makes me smarter and bolder
No more whining or blaming
I am reclaiming my prize
Grab that book and lets do this
Instead of doodling hearts all through this
Now there's a chip on my shoulder
Lets see him knock it aside
(Delta Nu) Ahhhhh
Daughter of Delta Nu
Show him that you're no fool
Daughter of Delta Nu
Go back to school with a big chip on your shoulder
Dialogue (Elle) Oh My God
(Delta Nu) Wait hold on we just won the case
(Elle) Oh My God
(Delta Nu) Elle got all up in Warner's face
(Elle) Oh My God
(Delta Nu) I am starting to like this place
(Various) Oh My God
(All) Oh My God
(Callahan) Miss Woods, excellent work today, I assume you're applying for my internship? Do you have a resume?
(Elle) I'm one step ahead of you, here you go. And thanks in advance for your consideration
Aaahhhh
(Callahan) Dear God it's scented. Three months ago I would have recycled this. Make sure to put it on file
(Emmett) Guess she got a chip on her shoulder
Maybe some wise man told her
With the chance we've been given
We've gotta be driven as hell
She was something to see there
I'm just happy I could be there
First big test and she aced it
She's so close she can taste it
She got a chip on her shoulder
Guess you never can tell
