CALVIN BERGER the Musical - We're The Man! Lyrics
MATT (spoken): My problem is... talking
CALVIN (spoken): Talking? You talk fine...more or less
MATT (spoken): Uh, I'm taking fine now, yeah, but that's only because...
CALVIN (spoken): Because why?
MATT (spoken): Because... because
I don't find you attractive, no offense!
CALVIN (spoken): Woahhh none taken!
MATT: But if I did my words would not be making sense!
CALVIN (spoken): That is so hard to imagine...
MATT:
With only guys around me, I always talk real good
But when I'm talking to a babe things don't go as they should!
I start a conversation, the blood starts rushing south
And yadda yadda, foot is in my mouth!
CALVIN (spoken): Yeah but a guy with your looks doesn't need to be articulate!
MATT (spoken): Dude, when there's a hot girl around,
I can't even say "artilicate"
MATT:
I screw up all the grammar, I switch the words around
I burp a lot, and stammer, and I make this wheezing sound...
*wheezes*
Soon my tongue stops working, and no more words will come!
At that point I just stand there looking dumb...
CALVIN (spoken): But that's okay, 'cause...
CALVIN: You're the man!
MATT (spoken): I'm not...
CALVIN: I'll tell you why!
MATT (spoken): Why?
CALVIN:
A girl can not resist a handsome looking guy!
She will say she needs a man who has a high I.Q
Then she'll settle for a moron if he looks like you
With muscles and a tan
Buddy, face it, you're the man!
MATT (spoken): Yeah, that's easy for you to say!
You don't have a...talking problem
CALVIN (spoken): No...
CALVIN: But don't you think your problems could be worse?
MATT (spoken): How?
CALVIN: Imagine if you had them in reverse!
MATT (spoken): Reverse...huh?
CALVIN (spoken): Check it out:
CALVIN:
The thing that I am best at is having lots to say
But when you look like me the girls don't listen anyway!
So I can be poetic, and clever without end
And still they'll only want me as a friend!
MATT (spoken): Dude, don't be modest!
MATT: You're the man!
CALVIN (spoken): I'm serious!
MATT: That's what I've heard!
CALVIN (spoken): Nope
MATT:
'Cause all the kids here say you're smart but not a nerd!
And if you can give a girl a little food for thought
She will see you as good-looking even if you're not!
CALVIN (spoken): Thanks...
MATT:
So tell yourself you can!
CALVIN (spoken): I can't!
MATT:
You've got wit, so you're the man!
CALVIN (spoken): Well, thank you.
But my wit is useless, trapped behind this face! Unless...
MATT (spoken): What?
CALVIN (spoken): If you were my mouthpiece...
I'm sure I could win her over!
For...you. A guy with your looks, and my words?
She won't know what hit her!
BOTH (spoken): Oh yeah!
MATT (spoken): But what doctor could do that type of operation?
CALVIN (spoken): What? No, listen!
CALVIN: Step one, I write a note for you to give her!
MATT: Step one, you write a note for me to give her!
CALVIN: Step two, you ask her out for Saturday night!
MATT: Step two, I ask her out for Saturday night!
CALVIN: Step three, I write the lines that you'll deliver!
MATT: Step three, you write the lines that I'll deliver!
CALVIN: Step four, I teach you how to say them right!
MATT: I'll say them right!
CALVIN: Step five, you ask her out to Johnny Rocket's!
MATT (spoken): Step five? Where?
CALVIN (spoken): It's good
CALVIN: And say all my romantic lines by heart!
MATT: And say all your romantic lines by heart!
CALVIN: By then you'll have her heartstrings in your pocket!
MATT: Something about pockets!
Step six we go home for the funnest part!
CALVIN (spoken): Wait, hang on,
I don't think she's the type of girl that would-
MATT (spoken): Oh, dude! This is brilliant! Ah!
I don't know how to thank you!
You're just.. you're the man!
CALVIN (spoken): No! No, no!
From now on.. we're the man!
MATT (spoken): Huh? Oh!
BOTH: He talks like a professor,
And yet he looks so good!
MATT: If this guy can't impress her,
Then I don't think no one could!
CALVIN: He's handsome as Adonis!
MATT: He speaks with grace and charm!
BOTH: So if he is two people what's the harm?
CALVIN (spoken): Ha!
BOTH:
We're the man! We're the Man!
And we've got ourselves a super genius plan!
If it's true there's strength in numbers,
Then our man is strong
CALVIN:
And as long as you don't improvise he can't go wrong!
She'll be his biggest fan!
MATT: Like me and Jackie Chan!
CALVIN (spoken): What?
MATT: Oh, it's like a brand new life has just began!
CALVIN: Begun!
CALVIN (spoken): Remember, I'm the words guy.
You're the pretty face
CALVIN: Stick to that, and we're the man!
CALVIN (spoken): Here!
MATT (spoken): What is it?
CALVIN (spoken): A love note
MATT (spoken): Ha! Already?
CALVIN (spoken): I...always keep one with me.
Just in case
CALVIN:
All you have to do is put this letter in her hand
And you'll have her like a movie, playing on demand!
Cause nothing's hotter than
A smart and handsome man!
MATT: Like me and Jackie Cha-
CALVIN (spoken): Enough with Jackie Chan?
BOTH:
So it's clear (very clear!)
That we're...
The man!
The man
The man
The man
The man
The man!
BOTH (spoken): The man!
