[00:00.41] No more mister anonymous
[00:03.96] No more world that is Nick Bottomless
[00:07.94] My name will be synonymous
[00:11.30] With being on the top
[00:18.96]
[00:19.68] I can see it now
[00:22.01] I'm the cats meow
[00:24.32] It's a hit- pow
[00:26.10] It's gonna be great
[00:27.18] Gonna be great
[00:28.74]
[00:29.03] Everywhere I go
[00:31.10] They will love me so
[00:33.41] Hail my name oh
[00:35.19] It's gonna be great
[00:36.39] Gonna be great
[00:37.54]
[00:37.96] Master Bottom, you're such a wonderful writer
[00:41.57] (You really think so?)
[00:42.17]
[00:42.62] And your talent is talent beyond compare
[00:46.01] (Why thank you!)
[00:47.04]
[00:47.39] You're a star, you are and you couldn't be brighter
[00:50.59] (Now you're just embarrassing me.)
[00:51.85]
[00:52.14] You're a real visionary
[00:54.38] (Thank you Jesus and hail Mary!)
[00:56.53]
[00:56.76] This Bottom's gonna be on top
[00:58.84] This Bottom's gonna be on top
[01:01.26] Man I'm gonna sizzle
[01:02.56] Man I'm gonna pop
[01:03.73] And this Bottom's gonna be on top
[01:05.91]
[01:08.77] This is heaven sent
[01:11.02] Feeling confident
[01:13.30] Money well spent, it's gonna be great
[01:16.22] Gonna be great
[01:17.69]
[01:18.09] Throw a big parade
[01:20.43] Praises will be made
[01:22.60] Complimets paid, it's gonna be great
[01:25.67] Gonna be great
[01:27.03]
[01:27.35] Me and baby are so eternally grateful
[01:30.93] (You're who I'm doing it for!)
[01:31.84]
[01:32.06] Thank you for our cottage in the woods
[01:34.88] (You deserve it!)
[01:36.33]
[01:36.67] If gratitude were food, I'd have a big plateful
[01:40.25] (Nice metaphor bro!)
[01:41.36]
[01:41.59] (You're the greatest!)
[01:42.56] (You da man!)
[01:43.75] (I really shouldn't say it, but yes I am!)
[01:45.85]
[01:46.14] This Bottom's gonna be on top
[01:48.11] This Bottom's gonna be on top
[01:50.63] Once I get going, never gonna stop and
[01:53.27] This Bottom's going to be on top
[01:55.46]
[02:05.41] We are the royalty of the renaissance writers
[02:09.92] Now we're handing down the crown to you
[02:13.79]
[02:14.83] You were a nobody, but then overnight you're someone
[02:19.41] Better than the rest of us
[02:21.94] Now you are the best of us
[02:26.67]
[02:27.03] Not so fast
[02:30.21]
[02:31.32] Hello Will
[02:33.04] I knew you wouldn't go down without a fight
[02:34.86]
[02:35.72] The Thompson(?) eh? thou surely doth jest
[02:38.74] I say on my honour here I doth protest
[02:41.08]
[02:41.43] Yawn
[02:42.71] Rhyming that is so 1580's
[02:46.30]
[02:46.56] Oh yeah?
[02:49.13] Well
[02:50.04]
[02:51.19] If you wanna make it to the top
[02:53.42] Then you're gonna have to go through me
[02:55.39]
[02:55.86] Coz on the top is where I live and
[02:57.47] I will not be giving it up that easily
[02:59.46] So there
[03:00.78]
[03:01.65] Oh man I have been waiting
[03:02.77] For this moment for so long
[03:04.09] I'm gonna enjoy it when I knock you off your perch
[03:06.28]
[03:06.86] Oh no you wont
[03:08.03] Oh yes i will
[03:09.40] Oh no you wont
[03:10.41] Oh yes i will
[03:11.04] Oh no you wont
[03:11.54] Oh yes I will
[03:12.25] Oh no you won't my accomplishments are much more accomplished than yours
[03:15.61]
[03:15.97] In your dreams
[03:17.84] I am the best
[03:18.32]
[03:19.50] You can't be the best because I am the best
[03:21.70] I have written twelve plays and each one is a testament to my great skill
[03:25.12] I am the Will
[03:26.23] I wrote the taming of the shrew
[03:27.64] And Richard three and Richard two
[03:28.94] And Henry's four and five and six
[03:30.56] And Titus Andronicus
[03:32.06] And oh did I forget,
[03:33.55] Romeo and Juliet
[03:35.21]
[03:35.95] Well I have just written the thing
[03:37.06] That the critics are calling
[03:38.34] The greatest thing they've ever seen
[03:39.94] The people are loving it
[03:41.06] Can't get enough of it
[03:41.95] Everyone even including the queen
[03:43.69]
[03:44.01] She recently invited me
[03:45.77] To her castle where she knighted me
[03:47.67] And privately she told me that you're
[03:48.94] Not any good
[03:49.48] Not any good
[03:50.08] Not any good
[03:50.76] Not any good
[03:51.45]
[03:51.67] And she told me that all of your plays make her vomit
[03:53.67] And nothing's as good as my musical omelette
[03:56.33]
[04:00.15] Wait a minute
[04:01.47] You wrote omelette?
[04:02.88]
[04:03.82] Yes
[04:05.38]
[04:05.80] I never thought that I would meet my equal
[04:09.51] But I can see that I've been bested by the best
[04:15.17] Maybe we could partner on a sequel
[04:17.97]
[04:18.93] Oh my how the tide has turned
[04:21.30] let's review what have we learned see
[04:23.62] You were here but now we've swapped so
[04:26.23] Kiss this Bottom I'm on the top
[04:30.22]
[04:38.36] Yeah right where I wanna be
[04:45.02] Yeah this Bottom's gonna be on top
[04:47.85]
