Something Different This Year (Demo)
[TYSON, rapping]
Every year, I'm dragged in to the festival
And every year, I gotta do this lame old waltz
Like "you gotta eat your vegetables"
It’s always just the same old, same old
Dancin' with the same old princesses
Is kinda like I'm doin’ it pro bono
And what no one knows I'm wishin' is
I'm wishin' for a princess that I don't know!

(singing)
Oh, every year I'm fightin' entienne
Hoping something excitement will appear
Prayin’ as the ball is draggin’ on
Something will be different
Something will be different
This year

[MORGAN]
I've never been to
A fancy dress ball
In a gown all soft and cheer
Usually, I dance with
The broom after all
So I can’t wait to come
To something different this year
[TYSON]
You don't understand. Just wait. You'll see what it's like

Every dance the same old one-two-three
The waltz is really boring

[MORGAN, TYSON]
Yes, but if you think about it differently
You could maybe make that waltz feel sort of soaring. (One, two, three, one, two, three...)

[Instrumental]

[MORGAN, TYSON]
Just about where he can have a thing or two (Now all at once,)
Now we’ve done some waltz enhancing (For the very first time)
It's a full reveal and not a supper to (Unware that personally)
The perfect shoe for dancing! (Can't wait to dance)

Now for two or you will get there ('Til we hear midnight chime)
I think you will be so fine and flashy ('Cause excitement will come)
And I'll be dancing there til midnight
Gee, I hope somebody asks me! (To something...)

Oh, every festival can have it's faults
Still i'm glad the time is drawing near
'Cause I know if we can get to waltz
Something will be different
Something...
[MORGAN & TYSON]
Different!

[TYSON]
Now all at once
For the very first time...

[MORGAN]
I'm going to a ball

[TYSON]
Want to wear that beautily...

[MORGAN]
And I won't be a flower on the wall!

[TYSON]
Can't wait to...

[MORGAN & TYSON]
Dance 'til we hear midnight chime!

[MORGAN]
Finally after all!

[TYSON]
Wait for you there! It's...
[MORGAN & TYSON]
Something different...
Something different this year...

If you'll dance with me
Then it just might be
Something different...
Something different this year...
