Sara Bareilles
8 Times a Week (2018 Tony Awards)
[JOSH]
Broadway folk can't get hurt
Can't feel anything, if you want to work
You'll push it down, you'll push it down
[SARA]
Never out, never sick, don't stop
No holiday meals from your mom's stovetop
You'll see your friends again
When the contract ends
[JOSH]
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven, I
[SARA]
Count the shows again
This can't be right
[JOSH]
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven
[SARA]
Who designed this schedule
Without a weekend?
I've gotta sing this thing eight times a week
Sing it eight times a week
[JOSH]
I want to scream, but I really can't speak
I'm on vocal rest all week
[JOSH & SARA]
Who in their right mind would schedule the plays
To be twice in a day?
[SARA]
I've gotta sing this thing eight times a week
Sing it eight times a week
I'm holding on for dear life
[JOSH]
Someone check on my kids and my wife
[SARA]
Oh dear Broadway, you're out of my league
[JOSH & SARA]
Why the hell is this eight times a week?
