Tom Kitt
Nine Percent Chance
[Rob]
Why am I feeling so good?
Why am I feeling so high?
Like I could reach for the sky
And nothing's gonna bring me down?

'Cause you paved the way for romance
When you kept him out of your pants
I'm a new man today and I say
Hey! Hey!
Hey, hey, hey!

I've got a nine percent chance of your love
A nine percent chance of your love
Nine percent of the time
It's me your thinking of
My foot's in the door
And if you're keeping score
I only need ninety-one more

I'm back on my game now
And fit as a fiddle
'Cause you can't deny that
You want me a little

I'm back in the driver's seat
Or at least in the car
I'm back on the road
To where you are

I've got a nine percent chance of your love
A nine percent chance of your love
And I'm pretty sure
It's just a matter of when
My chances go up to ten

[Barry]
I'm gonna lay it all on the line
Get out from under this bushel and shine
I've got music to make
And finally it will be heard

I've been hiding myself, that was wrong
The world's done without me for far too long
Hey, Coldplay - get out of my way
Hey! Hey!
Hey, hey, hey!

I've got a one percent chance of success
A one percent chance, maybe less
I will be known
As his royal rock highness
Facing the odds
At a hundred to one
But that's still better than none

[Rob & Barry]
Sometimes all you need is
A sliver of hope 'n'
You may just succeed or
At least the door's open

What once seemed impossible
Is there in your reach
You're riding the wave
Or at least on the beach

[Rob]
I could win back her heart

[Barry]
I could make the chicks dance
I've got a one percent-

[Rob]
A nine percent chance

[Dick]
I'm gonna find out her last name
And find out if she feels the same
I'll ask her out
And get to see what's in her heart

There's not much hope I can win it
But the game has begun, and look who's in it
Who knows? She might go-
[Spoken]
Yeah, maybe if I was the last man on Earth

[Sung]
There's a point, oh
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
One percent chance she'll say yes
Around one in a billion I guess
I'm approaching infinity and happiness
We could go on a date
It could be any day
I'm only light years away

I'm gonna ask Anna out
[Barry]
I'm gonna rock the world
[Rob]
She hasn't slept with him yet
That's what she-
[All]
Said
She said!

[Guy with Mohawk]
Maybe there is a God
[Futon Guy]
Maybe I've got a pray'r
[Hipster]
Maybe, oh maybe Elvis-
[All]
Isn't dead!

[Rob, Dick & Barry]
Sometimes all you need is
A sliver of hope 'n'
You may just succeed or
At least the door's open

What once seemed impossible
Is there in your reach
You're riding the wave
Or at least on the beach

[Rob]
If I've got a chance

[Barry]
And I've got a chance

[Dick]
Then I've got a chance

[Rob, Dick & Barry]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey hey!

[Rob]
I've got a nine percent chance of your love!
[Ensemble]
Nine percent chance of your love!
[Rob]
A nine percent chance of your love!
[Ensemble]
Nine percent chance of your love!
[Rob]
Nine percent of the time it's me-
[All]
You're thinking of!

[Rob]
You say that it's hopeless
But I say that's bull
My cup runneth over
Well, it's-
[All]
Nine percent full!

[Rob]
And that's a fine percent chance
[Ensemble]
Fine percent chance
[Rob]
A nine percent chance
[Ensemble]
Nine percent chance
[Rob]
Of your love!

[Rob, spoken]
I feel great!
Of your love!
So great in fact-
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I go out and sleep with Marie LaSalle!
Of your love!
