Hard to Be the Bard - song lyrics

My days are so busy it's making me dizzy
There's so much I gotta do
There's lunches and meetings and poetry readings
And endless interviews
Gotta pose for a portrait
And how I deplore sitting there for eternity
Then it's off to the inn
Where my innkeeper friend
Wants to name a drink after me
Then it's back to my room, where I resume
My attempt to write a hit
Just me and my beer and the terrible fear
That I might be losing it
And it's hard,
It's hard
It's hard,
It's hard
It's really hard
So very very hard
It's really hard
Very very hard
I make it look easy but honey believe me
It's hard
It's hard
It's hard,
It's hard
It's so incredibly hard
So inconceivably, unbelievably hard
It's hard to be the bard
Honestly, I don't know how I do it.
There's only so much of me to go around.
I've got so many fans
With so many demands
I can hardly go take a piss
He can't pee
Be it theater-freak or
The autograph-seeker
They all want a piece of this
Gimme, Gimme
It's a cross that I bear,
I'm like Jesus, I swear
It's a burden but I suffer through it
He is suffering
It's all part of the game,
The trappings of fame
But somebody's gotta do it
So he does it
And I know, I know, I gotta go
And get back to my pen and ink
Oh don't make me do it,
Don't make me go through it
Can somebody get me a drink!
'Cause it's hard
It's hard
It's hard,
It's hard
It's really really hard
It's sexy but it's hard
It's really hard
Sexy but it's hard
This bar that I'm
Raising to be this amazing!
It's hard,
It's hard
It's hard,
It's hard
It's so annoyingly hard
So unavoidably, unenjoyably hard
It's hard to be the bard, baby
I know writing made me famous,
But being famous is just so much more fun.
You see... What people just don't understand
Is that writing's demanding
It's mentally challenging and it's a bore
It's such a chore
To sit in a room by yourself
Oh my god, I just hate it!
And you're trying to find
An opening line or a brilliant idea
And you're pacing the floor
And hoping for just a bit of divine intervention
That one little nugget that one little spark
Then Eureka! You find it you're ready to start
So now you can write, right? Wrong!
You're not even close, you remember that damn it,
Your play's gotta be in iambic pentameter!
So you write down a word but it's not the right word,
So you try a new word but you hate the new word
And you need a good word but you can't find the word
Oh where is it, what is it, what is it, where is it!
Blah-blah-blah, ha ha, ah-ha -UGHHHHHHHH!
Sir.
Hello.
You asked for information on what Nicholas Bottom is writing.
Our spy is here with the news.
Did he see me losing it?
He's half blind, sir.
Oh, good. Then he only saw half of it.
You see what I did? Ha ha.
Speak, man. What news?
I saw Nick Bottom, I did.
He paid a soothsayer to foresee what Shakespeare's greatest play would be.
That sneaky little thief!
Why doesn't he come up with his own ideas!?
It's hard
No. It is, isn't it?
It's really the worst
It's hard
Makes me wonder why I didn't think of that first
It's hard
Hard to alleviate the pressure to create
It's hard
Hard to do something as good as the last thing I did that was already great
It's hard
It's hard,
So hard that he is stealing from the bard
Well I'll hoist him by his petard
All I need is a clever disguise
Clever disguise
I'll make him pay for those devious lies
Devious lies
Let him do all the tedious stuff
The work that's terribly and unbearably hard
Alright Nick Bottom
I think Shakespeare needs to find out
What Shakespeare's next big hit will be
Cause it's hard
It's totally hard
It's hard
It's totally hard
It's hard
It's totally hard
I've got fortune and fame
Everyone knows my name
I can't help it if it's so freakin' hard

Let me hear you say now is! (Now is!) Let me hear you say now is the! (Now is the!) Oh do it with me Now is the winter of our discontent Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York Made glorious summer by this sun of York Let me hear you say Glorious (Glorious) Do you mean me? (Glorious) Well I can't be (Glorious) Now let me see g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s Who fits that bill? It's Will! Yes There's a feeling going round Does anybody call it? We're shaking it with Shakespeare! Methinks you got it Will Power I am the will of the people now He is the will of the people now Will Power I am the will of the people now He is the will Huzzah! (Huzzah!)

What the hell are musicals? (It appears to be a play where the dialogue stops) (And the plot is conveyed through song) Through song? (Yes) W-wait, so an actor is saying his lines and then Out of nowhere, he just starts singing? (Yes) Well that is the— Stupidest thing that I have ever heard You're doing a play, got something to say So you sing it? It's absurd! Who on earth is going to sit there While an actor breaks into song What possible thought could the audience think Other than, "This is horribly wrong!" Remarkably... They won't think that (Seriously? Why not?) Because—it's a... Musical A musical And nothing's as amazing as a musical With song and dance, and sweet romance And happy endings happening by happenstance Bright lights, stage fights, and a dazzling chorus You wanna be great? Then you gotta create a musical! I don't know; I find it hard to believe People would actually pay to see something like this Let's just say it's a Saturday night and you wanna go out on the town Got a lady to flatter who might give it up if you don't let her down You could go see a tragedy, but that wouldn't be very fun Or a play from Greek mythology See a mother have sex with her son Eugh! You could see a drama—with all of that trauma and pain Or go see something more relaxing and less taxing on the brain Go see a... Musical A musical A puppy piece, releasing all your blues-icals Where crooners croon a catchy tune And limber-legged ladies thrill you 'til you swoon Ooh's, ahh's, big applause And a standing ovation The future is bright if you could just write a musical Some make you happy Some make you sad Some are quite big Some quite small Some are too long Some are just plays with song Some musicals have no talking at all (No talking at all?) That's right—there's no talking All of the dialogue is sung In a very dramatic fashion (Um, really?) Yes, really (There's no talk-) There's no talking And they often stay on one note for a very long time So that when they change to a different note You notice And it's supposed to create a dramatic effect But mostly you just sit there asking yourself "Why aren't they talking?" (Sounds miserable) I believe it's pronounced "Misérables" (And people actually like this?) No, they love it; and what's not to love! It's such a delight—there's nothing quite like a musical Oh, another vision! I haven't even told you the best part yet! Feel that fascinating rhythm moving to your feet Whoa, whoa... woo-hoo! (Uh, what is that?) Feel your ass gyrating to that titillating beat (Whoa, are you okay?) You slap your lap, then finger snap That's when you know it's time to tap Oh! (What the hell are you doing now?) It's called a dance break Apparently this happens in musicals as well People on stage just burst into spontaneous dance (Why? Does it advance the plot?) No (Advance character?) Not necessarily (Then why do it?) Because—it's entertaining! Five, six, seven, eight! Another vision! It's a musical! Whatayatalk, whatayatalk? It's a musical! A Seussical? No, a musical—with girls on stage (A musical) We've got snappy repartee And the women are risqué And the chorus boys are kinda gay (A musical) A true, blue, new— Musical! Stand back, it's a musical! Some musicals are very serious A big, glittering musical—a musical It's a mu-si-cal for us! A big and shiny, mighty fine-y Glitter, glitz, and chorus line-y Bob your head and shake your hiney—musical It's a musical (It's a musical) It is a musical! (It's a musical!) Yes! I get it now! We'll do a musical (No kidding!) A musical What could be more amazing than a musical! With song and dance, and sweet romance And with a musical we might have half a chance Ooh's, ahh's, big applause—with everyone cheering for us And for some unexplainable reason The crowd goes wild every time When dancers kick in unison In one big wonderful line And then you got yourself a musical A musical A la-la-la, la-la-la-la Palooz-ical With flashy style and a big fake smile A snazzy band, some jazzy hands—I swear that I'll Cross my heart, hope to die If it isn't a doozy Take it from me They'll be flocking to see Your star-lit, won't quit Big hit musical! A big hit musical!

Well, I - That's a question with no answer Let's not discuss the weather, let's face the facts Marvin's wife must relax Love isn't sex That's a thing my husband once told me Marvin, my ex- You've seen him for years- Told me over the phone to tell you my fears Do you only treat queers? No Breathe deep, my dear You'll find me understanding Your pain is a priori Unfold your untold story Now to break bread Loosen your glands Put your head in my hands I'm everything he wanted It's time I put it all together The date was set My father let me marry I married. I... Then Marvin came from work Sat me down on the bed He told me how he loved me How needed and/or valued me I have What? Syphilis He said Good I have Yes? Syphilis It's true Good I had something rotten Which appears though now it's well forgotten Maybe, darling, so do you Maybe, darling, so do you I am probably diseased You're a lovely girl And so easily appeased What a lovely girl, though she's possibly diseased He took pains to not excite us He explains I've Hepatitis Too Hepa hepa hepatitis hepatitis hepatitis Love is blind Love can tell a million stories Love's unkind Spiteful in a million ways Then I stayed home from work Took good care of my men They faked despair, they wet their bed They combed their hair, they acted dead One said Yes? Daddy is a prick What? He said Yes? Daddy isn't mine Good He filled my coats With candies and notes With "Will you be my valentine?" Will you be my valentine? This gets harder to believe You're a damaged girl I've a scalpel up my sleeve What a damaged girl Do not ever slit your wrists I've missed him; he's still missing Don't make noise, but daddy's kissing Boys Petty, petty, petty, petty Love is blind Love can tell a million stories Love's unkind Spiteful in a million ways Love is blind Love can tell a million stories Love's unkind Spiteful in a million ways Love is crazy Love is often boring Love stinks Love is pretty often debris When you find What you find. Then Never, never, never, never, never Do it over again Love Love Love Love Love reads like a bad biography All the names are changed To protect the innocent Love Love Love is blind My name is Mendel I treat her husband I think she's very insecure But so am I I've never married Work, work is my passion Or perhaps that's an alibi Yeah, perhaps it is Yeah, I don't care to discuss it I think she's charming I think she's needy In just five sessions on my couch She'll be like new His name is Mendel Ah-ah Return next Friday I admit I admire you
