Beauty Contestant 1 - sung to Something's Comin' form West Side Story
Ken Klein

Gotta win!
Cannot stop!
Keep on smiling until ya drop!
'Cause I'm gonna be queen!
Enter the pageant 'n I turn on the charm
Sound the alarm, the crown's comin' to me
A - has - u - air - us
You foolish, vain pretender
You'll soon surrender to me!

Gotta win!
Gonna have my day!
Mouth the words, then I make 'em pay
Once I am queen!
I'll be the power sitting behind the throne
When we're alone, you'll listen to me
A - has - u - air - us
You're mired in your inertia
Soon all of Persia will bow down to me!

Disown your fam'ly!
Forget your friends!
The means don't count if you enjoy the ends!
And I'm gonna be queen!
I've heard it said that ambition is blind
Why should I mind, got it comin' to me
A - has - u - air - us
You're new queen you've awaited
You'll soon find you're checkmated by me
By me!
By me!
