SONG 5: COMEDY'S A COMPETITION

ENSEMBLE

Comedy's a competition

Comedy's a competition

Comedy's a competition

Comedy's a competition

VIC

I was raised in this

Watchin' Whose Line from birth

You could search

Every corner of the earth

You won't find anybody

Who's as funny as me

Not in L.A., not in Chicago

Not in N.Y.C.

I'm puttin' C.L.E.

On the M.A.P.

All around the globe

Three hundred sixty degrees

Fahrenheit, I could scorch y'all

With all this heat

This is the roast of everybody

And I'm the emcee

ENSEMBLE

Comedy's a competition

Comedy's a competition

Comedy's a competition

Comedy's a competition

VIC

Comedy's a competition

And I'm winnin'

Comedy's a competition

And I'm winnin'

Comedy's a competition

And I'm winnin'

Comedy's a competition

And I'm winnin'

I can make you laugh

Even if you're anhedonic

Just me on the mic

But I still sound symphonic

Orchestrating punchlines

Like a joke philharmonic

Words from every angle

Like it's stereophonic

When I say I'm laconic

You know I'm being ironic

I'm verbose and sardonic

Make Einstein look moronic

I am chronically iconic

And quicker than supersonic

Need a tonic, 'cause I'm an

Iller killer than the bubonic

Plague

Vic pauses, seemingly rethinking.

VIC (CONT'D)

Maybe all of this is just a defense mechanism

Maybe deep down inside I yearn for recognition

Because my dad never loved me without condition

Maybe that's the source of all of my ambition

And maybe comedy could be more to me

Like community instead of rivalry

Maybe I should change my position

Vic's demeanor changes back to how it was before.

VIC (CONT'D)

Just kiddin'

ENSEMBLE

Comedy's a competition

VIC

And I'm winnin'

ENSEMBLE

Comedy's a competition

VIC

Since the beginnin'

ENSEMBLE

Comedy's a competition

VIC

I keep 'em grinnin'

ENSEMBLE

Comedy's a competition

VIC

Never lost, I'm always winnin

ENSEMBLE

Comedy's a competition

And I'm winnin'

Comedy's a competition

And I'm winnin'

Comedy's a competition

And I'm winnin'

Comedy's a competition

VIC

And I'm winnin'
