"They Won't Play (My Big Song)"

MEG
I'm burning up at rotten judgment,
My heart's so hot that it's molten.
A song that's used in animation
Is surely better than Michael Bolton!

MUSES
Who's the one rewritin'
A great piece to a pop single?
Disney keeps invitin'
Trouble and a song to mingle.
Watch how they'll destroy it
So we can't enjoy it
No, it won't take long.

MEG
No chance, no way,
They won't play it, no, no.

MUSES:
Your tune, it's gone--
It's not on radio.

MEG
It's sad to say:
They won't play my big song.

I thought my song could be a Top Ten
And yet I met some resistance.
My head is screaming, "What an outrage!
They had to mangle Herc's 'Go the Distance'!"
Oh…

MUSES
Disney keeps on saying
A pop star's a profit-getter.
Disney, no one's paying,
Bigger names aren't always better.
Gee, it's quite a mess-up,
When ya gonna 'fess up
That ya got, got, got it wrong.

MEG
No chance, no way,
They won't play it, no, no.
 
MUSES
They don't know much:
You've got such a big song.

MEG
That's life today--
They won't play my big song.

MUSES
This tune is hip
You can't skip
Her big song.

MEG
They're way off key
They won't play it.
Why don't they see?
They won't play it.

MUSES
Yes, things are bad,
They won't play her big song.

MEG
Oh--
That's why I'm mad,
They won't play my big song.


Sha la la la la la...*sigh*
