Starring Rachel Bloom & Rachel Grate
Written by Adam Schlesinger, Zach Sherwin, Jack Dolgen & Rachel Bloom
Audra:
ALL OF OUR LIVES YOU WERE TOXIC
OBNOXIOUS
NOW THOUGH, YOU’VE BROUGHT ME FROM NAUSEOUS TO NACHES
I’M PROUD OF YOU, BUNCH
YOU’RE A GROWN-UP, YOU GOT THIS
KOL HAKAVOD, YOU’RE A GODDESS
Rebecca:
ME?!
BUT YOU’RE SO RESPONSIBLE
CAREER’S ON SIZZLE
HUSBAND, DITTO
THREE GREAT KIDDOS
YOU’VE GOT COMPETENCE, CLASS
PLUS A SKINNY-ASS WAIST
AND A TONED-ASS ASS
Audra:
WELL, YOU’VE GOT A FREE SPIRIT, WHICH I SEE AND COMMEND
SO, LIKE 2 CHAINZ WITHOUT THE “NZ” AT THE END
I WISH YOU DOUBLE CHAI
FOR FOLLOWING THE TUG
OF THE HEART BEHIND YOUR 36 TRIPLE-D JUGS
Rebecca:
WOW, WHAT A BOOST FOR MY CONFIDENCE!
Audra:
YEAH, I MEAN, I GOTTA GIVE IT UP
I’M PRETTY GOOD AT GIVING COMPLIMENTS
Rebecca:
NICE BUBBLE, BUBBELEH, I REALLY HATE TO POP IT
BUT NOBODY’S GOT A PLAUDIT ANY HOTTER THAN I DROP IT
Audra & Rebecca:
THIS IS…
Audra:
A JAP PRAISE FIGHT
Audra & Rebecca:
HALF AFFIRMATION
Rebecca:
HALF CAGE FIGHT
Audra & Rebecca:
KILLING YOU WITH KINDNESS
Audra:
YEAH, YOU’RE DANG RIGHT
Audra & Rebecca:
IT’S A HEAD-TO-HEAD YASHER KOACH MAZEL TOV OFF
Rebecca:
YOU KNOW WHAT?
LET’S SQUASH IT, YOU’RE AWESOME
Audra:
SECONDED! SAME!
REBECCA-WISE, MY GAME RECOGNIZE GAME
Rebecca:
THANKS, I APPRECIATE THAT
Audra:
YEAH, I MEAN, THERE’S A REASON I’M CALLED “ESTEEM QUEEN LEVINE”
Rebecca:
CAN IT WITH THE ACCOLADES-SLASH-SHADE-CATAPULTING
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS GREAT AT ADULTING
ALL YOUR HARD WORK, ULTIMATELY RESULTING IN TRIUMPH
Audra:
DAMN, THAT’S SOME SNEAKY INSULTING
SKIP THE EMOTIONAL JUDO
I AM THE B. KNOWLES-CARTER OF KUDOS
Rebecca:
I’M THE LEBRON JAMES OF ACCLAIM
Audra:
THEN YOU MIGHT AS WELL CALL ME THE MICHELLE OF THE KVELL
Rebecca:
GO TO HELL
Audra & Rebecca:
THIS IS…
Audra:
A JAP CHEER SCRIMMAGE
Audra & Rebecca:
LIKE A RAP BATTLE
Rebecca:
BUT THE MIRROR IMAGE
Audra & Rebecca:
BOTH OF US’LL FEEL GREAT
Audra:
WHEN WE’RE FINISHED
Rebecca:
GIVING A DOPE-SLAP OF DAP TO THIS JAP…
Rebecca:
Which does stand for Jewish-American Princess, a term that, on one hand, does reinforce
negative, negative stereotypes about both Jews and women but, on the other hand, is a term
that we want to reclaim and own. Also, should acknowledge that me saying “dap to this jap” is
appropriative and a little problematic, if we’re being honest.
THIS IS TOUCHY STUFF AND IT’S PRETTY COMPLICATED
BUT I NOTICED THE DYNAMIC AND I THOUGHT THAT I SHOULD NAME IT
JUST LIKE I HATED YOU, BUT NOW I KINDA LIKE YOU
THIS SONG’S ANOTHER THING I CAN SEE TWO SIDES TO
Audra:
TERRIFIC SELF-AWARENESS
Rebecca:
KNOCK IT OFF, AUDRA!
YOU NEVER STOP, DO YOU?
Audra:
CAN’T AND DON’T WANNA
Rebecca:
YOU’RE A WONDERFUL LADY,
BUT AN INSUFFERABLE BABY
Audra:
SHOULD WE MAKE OUT?
Rebecca:
WHAT?! NO!
...MAYBE
