Kimberly Akimbo - Better Lyrics

2022 Broadway
Kimberly Akimbo the Musical - Better Lyrics


Music by Jeanine Tesori and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire.

SETH:
Levaco is L-E-V-

KIMBERLY:
A-C-O.

SETH:
A-C-O.

KIMBERLY:
Oh

SETH (spoken):
I'm going to start with the K first because that's
One of the hardest letters.

KIMBERLY:
Oh

SETH:
Kuh, kuh, kuh, kah.

KIMBERLY:
Oh

SETH:
Ka-kay, key, ki, kilo.

KIMBERLY:
Oh

SETH:
Kill, killer, cola, E. coli.
Broken. Yoke, yo, yo yokel.
Ya, yam, yak, lamb.

KIMBERLY:
Oh

SETH:
Oh, I just found mackerel!

KIMBERLY:
I like the way you see the world
I like your point of view
A little sly, a little strange, a little bit askew
I like the way you look at life
And think outside the box
A little odd, a little off, a bit unorthodox

SETH:
Lib, libby, libya.

KIMBERLY:
I like your point of view

SETH:
Yick, yicky, Mickey, Rickey, icky!

KIMBERLY:
I like the way you make a point
I like your frame of mind
A little quick, a little sharp
A little beat behind
I like the way you crack a joke
That no one else will get
A little dry, a little droll, a little dumb
And yet

SETH:
Okra, cobra, marble, barley

KIMBERLY:
I like your point of view

SETH:
Bravo, cello, limo, rio, macro, micro, mayo, bakery!

KIMBERLY:
Oh, with the turn of a letter
Oh, everything's better
I wonder how you see the things you see
With a change of perspective
Nothing's defective
I wonder what you see
When you look at me
Oh

SETH:
Me, me, my, my, eye, ball
Icky eyeball, icky earlobe.

KIMBERLY:
Over, clover.

SETH:
Licker, lickable, lokable, lovable, livable.
Liver
My liver, my oliver
My locker, my blocker, my blacker olive.
My rockable veil.
My crablike love!
Oh, that's awful.

KIMBERLY:
I like the way you understand.
I like the way you think
A little weird, a little wise,
A little out of sync

SETH:
Lever, ever, clever.
Wait a minute.

KIMBERLY:
I like your point of view

SETH:
Clever, cleaver.
Limber, Kimberly?

KIMBERLY:
I like

SETH:
Kimberly Levaco turns into-

KIMBERLY:
I like

SETH:
Cleverly
Akimbo.

KIMBERLY:
You

SETH:
Cleverly Akimbo!

KIMBERLY:
You.

SETH:
That's a pretty good one!
I did my grandmother's name and got "Arabian beard."

(both laughing)
