Hello, Will. I knew you wouldn't go down without a fight

Well
Tap Break:
Will:
If you want to make it to the top
Then you're gonna have to go through me
Cause on the top is where I live
And I will not be giving up that easily
So there
Nick:
Oh man I have been waiting for this moment for so long
I'm gonna enjoy it when I knock you off your perch
Will:
Oh no you won't
Nick:
Oh yes I will
Will:
Oh no you won't
Nick:
Oh yes I will
Will:
Oh no you won't
Nick:
Oh yes I will
Will:
Oh no you won't
My accomplishments are much more accomplished than yours
Nick:
In your dreams
I am the best
Will:
You can't be the best because I am the best
I have written 12 plays and each one is a testament to my great skill
I am the Will
And I wrote the Taming of the Shrew and Richard III and Richard II and Henry's IV, V, VI
And Titus Andronicus
And oh did I forget Romeo and Juliet
Nick:
Well I have just written the thing that the critics are calling the greatest thing they've ever seen
The people are loving it
Can't get enough of it
Everyone, even including the Queen
She recently invited me to her castle where she knighted me
And privately she told me that you're not any good, not any good, not any good, not any good
And she told me that all of your plays make her vomit
And none of them's as good as my musical Omelette
C majorC
Will:
N.C.
Wait a minute
You wrote Omelette?
Nick:
Yes
Will:
E MajorE A minorAm
