Good As It Gets

Isn’t it great to be a senior?
Isn’t it cool to be high strung?
Isn’t it hot to have a steady?
Isn’t it tops just being young?
Bein' a kid is havin' it easy,
No hassles, no regrets.
Isn’t it great, cool, hot, tops, hip?
Yeah, this is as good as it gets!
(toffee enters, dressed in black.)
There goes toffee,
Dressed in black again.
Hoping against all hope
That jonny comes back again…
She’s a teen-
Teen-
Teen-
Teen-ager in mourning,
From the morning light
To that last dismissal bell.
Just a teen-
Teen-
Teen-
Teen-ager in mourning.
Where once the girl was effervescent,
She’s now a poster-child depressant,
A problematic post-pubescent,
A convalescing adolescent,
A teenager in hell!
(pointing to a banner announcing the prom)
Hey, look, toffee. The senior prom. Ain’t it swell?
I won’t be going to my senior prom.
(everyone gasps.)
Why not toffee?
Because i haven’t got a boyfriend… anymore!
Jeez, toffee. Lighten up.
It’s been three whole weeks.
Isn’t it great?
Isn’t it cool?
Isn’t it hot?
Isn’t it tops?
I’ve got no boyfriend.
That’s my fate.
I’ve got no future.
I’ve got no date!
Bein' a kid is havin' it easy,
No hassles, no regrets.
Isn’t it great, cool, hot, tops, hip???
And isn’t it swell, neat, keen, wild, fab???
Yeah!
Is this as good as it???
This is as good as it gets!
