[MAC ROUNDTREE]
Sometimes you find that you're the idol
Of all your peers
Your friends they ain't friends anymore they're
Just souvenirs

And since you're on top of the mountain
They see the money you're countin'
And they try to bring you down
New York's that kind of town

So then you hide in a jungle
For a little while
You run a nasty ass brothel
You're versatile

Sippin' on tequila and lime
Really you're just bidin' your time
And when you're ready then
You try New York again

But sometimes your wife becomes a bounty hunter
And screws up your plan

But since you're worldly-wide
You just improvise
And then you're back on track
And then you're winning man
[MAC ROUNDTREE, spoken]
And you run your motorcycle through the jungle, and the wind is whipping through your magnificent chest hair, and you're screaming from the top of your lungs —

[MAC ROUNDTREE]
I'm back bitch, I'm back bitch, I'm back
Listen to me I'm back bitch, I'm back bitch, I'm back
This I decree, I'm old, white, and rich
Bitch, I'm back and I'm ready to play
And I confess I guess I never really ever went away

[MAC ROUNDTREE, spoken]
But first we gotta celebrate our opening night. I can't wait to see those kids on my glorious drug. What it does to them!

[MAC ROUNDTREE]
I'm talkin' bout stamina
Vocal range
Turning little theater queens into powerhouse machines

I'm talkin' bout stamina (stamnia)
Vocal range (vocal range)
Work them harder 'till they die
There's always others standing by (by)

I'm talkin' [?] covers (so shiny new)
I'll hit the college kid circuit (yo NYU)
Then I'll gather each of the prone
Put 'em in a show of my own
This'll all pay off in spades
When I'm tripping in accolades
[MAC ROUNDTREE, spoken]
And then in the Tony Awards press room when they say to me "who are you? Where did you come from?" I'm gonna look 'em all right in the eyes and yell—

[MAC ROUNDTREE]
I'm back bitch, I'm back bitch, I'm back
Listen to me, I'm Mac bitch, I'm Mac bitch, I'm Mac
Mister Roundtree
I'm old, white, and rich
Bitch, I'm back and I'm ready to play
And I confess I guess I never really ever went away

[MAC ROUNDTREE & ENSEMBLE]
See the skyline of my city (see the skyline)
Filthy, gorgeous, gleaming, pretty ([?])
New York are you ready for me?

I'm talkin' 'bout stamina
I'm talkin' 'bout vocal range (yeah)
I'm talkin' 'bout riffin' 'till you drop
A feelin' that's never gonna stop

I'm talkin' 'bout stamina (stamina)
Vocal range (vocal range)
Turning little theater queens into powerhouse machines

I'm talkin' 'bout stamina (stamina)
Vocal range
Work 'em harder 'till they die, there's always others standing by
I'm back

I'm back, bitch, I'm back, bitch, I'm back (he's back, he's back, bitch)
Listen to me
I'm back, bitch, I'm back, bitch, I'm back (he's back, he's back, bitch, he's back and he's mad, he's back, he's back, bitch)
This I decree
Been many a year now
I'm here and I'm planning to stay
Once I got this town
You're all going down

[ENSEMBLE]
We are never gonna never gonna ever go away

[MAC ROUNDTREE]
I'm back!
