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
