Something Better

[JIM] I wake up each day and wonder what for It seems to me there must be something more Something more than stacks of dishes And washing this old floor If I had my pick of wishes I'd wish me out that door 'Cause I'm hungry for adventure And I'm fed up with this grind If I don't have some excitement soon I'm gonna lose my mind I want a life that's filled with thrills both wild and free There's gotta be something better,something better There's gotta be something better than this for me I look around here and I want to cry [RIZZO, spoken] Ah, me too [JIM] I feel like the whole world is passing me by [GONZO, spoken] It is [JIM] And I just can't help but wonder Am I doomed to wash and dry And is it a curse I'm under To do it 'til I die [GONZO, spoken] I hope not [RIZZO, spoken] Yeah [JIM] When I could be an explorer [GONZO] (spoken) Sure, you could [JIM] Setting off to distant lands [RIZZO, spoken] What, not so fast [JIM] Instead of spending every afternoon Just getting dishpan hands? My future looks like nowhere that I long to be [ALL THREE] There's gotta be something better,something better [JIM] There's gotta be something better than this for me [GONZO, spoken] Well, now you're talking. Yeah (sung) If it's weird and wild let's go and find it HAHAHAHA The crazier, the better is what I say [RIZZO, spoken] Yeah, that's true (sung) To tell the truth, I really wouldn't mind it [GONZO, spoken] Mind what? [RIZZO] If we found some place with ten square meals a day [JIM and GONZO] Let danger call my name [RIZZO] If It does, I'm gonna hide [JIM] I'll put my courage to the test [GONZO] And I'll be by your side [RIZZO] He'll be by your side [JIM] There's gotta be something better than this [GONZO and RIZZO] Something more than this to see [JIM] I know there's so much I have to see And I know this life I'm living can't be my destiny [ALL THREE] There's gotta be something better,something better [JIM] There's gotta be something better than this for me [GONZO, spoken] And me! [RIZZO, spoken] Wait a minute, what about me? [ALL THREE] There's gotta be something better than this for you and me
