the newfangled four - it sucks to be me (parody) lyrics

[intro]
doo doo doo doo+doo+doo
doo doo+doo doo doo+doo doo
doo doo doo doo+doo+doo
doo doo+doo doo doo doo doo

[jackson]
how did we get
to be this kind of quartet
why must we sing funny songs (and oh how i)

[all]
wish we could go back
and see an old throwback
we just want to feel we belong (ba da+da+da)
(but) we’ve not arrived yet
we’ve not made the five yet
so maybe then we should just stop

but!
somehow we can’t shake
the feeling we might make
a difference to barrrr…
berrr…

shop! da+dab+da+da da+da+da
da+da+dab+da+da da+da+da
[jackson, +ryan+, spoken]
hey ryan!
+hey jackson+
how’s life?
+disappointing…+
what’s the matter?
+you’re all better at comedy than me…+
oh, that’s not true…
+i mean look at me! we’re years into this contest and i always thought that i would…+
what?
+no, it sounds stupid.+
oh, come on!

[ryan]
when we first started, i thought i would be (he thought he’d be)
the member of the quartet that was funny (but now)
but now it’s been four years and as you can see
i’m not. (he’s not!)
oh well… (oh well…)
it sucks to be me! (it sucks to be him!)
it sucks to be me! (it sucks to be him!)

[all]
a note machine
harmonic, robo+tronic guy that sings
[ryan]
the baritone part…

[all except ryan]
sucks to be ryan

[all except jackson]
but what about jacksan?

[all, (all except jackson), +jackson+]
+i’m kind of+ pretty, and pretty dang smart (he’s such a hunk)
a connoisseur of sorts that sings the lead part (and i)
+i know you+ think about me when we’re apart
so why won’t (we)
+say my name right?+
(no!)

+it sucks to be me!+ (it sucks to be him!)
it sucks to be +me+ (it sucks to be him!)
+such musical+ moxy
+i’m+ so foxy

[backup scat vocals change key up several steps]

[joey, spoken]
higher price?

[backup scat vocals go back down to normal]

[joey, spoken]
okay, alright, we can… do that… oh! i’m sorry, everyone else, allow me to fill you in on, uh, what’s going on here…

[all, (all but jackson), +jackson+]
these are our judges, and they don’t like our +jokes+ (we knew that so)
+we+ promised lots of money to these lovely folks
truth is we’re broke and so i hope you get the joke…
