A Little Versatility lyrics
by Original Broadway Cast of Boop! The Musical
[BETTY]
For those who still remember me as Juliet
My next few roles are bound to disconcert
But please don’t turn your back upon yours truly yet;
A little versatility never hurt…
Today I am a cowgirl, the fastest gun in the West
Doin’ what a gal and her trusty gun do best
Headin’ off a cutthroat and his bloodthirsty gang
Rescuin’ the sheriff they were fixing to hang
Puttin’ my cowgirl know-how to the test (Ooh!)
Another day, another story
Where I hold fifty crooks captive in a quarry
Well, Shakespeare is fun, but whеn you’re gettin’ down in the dirt
A littlе versatility never hurt
I said, a little versatility never hurt
And now I’m flyin’ by plane somewhere east of Bombay
On a secret mission for the good old U.S. of A
[BETTY, FEMALE ENSEMBLE]
German pilots cannot take their eyes off my face
I shoot ‘em down, save India, and head back to base
[BETTY]
Pickin’ up a few more medals on the way, hey
[BETTY, FEMALE ENSEMBLE]
Another day, another story
[BETTY]
Risking death for honor and old glory
Nothing like a flying ace who still knows how to flirt! (Ooh!)
A little versatility never hurt
I said, a little versatility never hurt…
I may be one of Hollywood’s “it girls”
But when there’s trouble afoot
[VILLAIN, spoken]
Mwahahaha!
[BETTY, sung]
This tiny tornado in spit curls
[BETTY, FEMALE ENSEMBLE]
Goes at it ‘til the trouble
At it ‘til the trouble
At it ‘til the trouble’s kaput!
[BETTY]
Wherever there’s injustice, I will stand my ground and fight
Fearless in the face of mortal danger, day or night
[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
Everywhere our enemies are ready to pounce
But this is where a woman’s way of thinking counts
[BETTY]
Doin’ whatever works to make things right
Hey…
[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
Another day, another mission
With a woman’s wiles as ammunition
When there’s a calamity, her talent can avert
[ENSEMBLE]
A little versatility never, never hurt…
[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
So take a tip from one of those “it girls”
As they say on the set:
[ENSEMBLE]
“Do your bit, girl!”
[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
You can save the world in trousers or a skirt! (Ah…)
[BETTY, ENSEMBLE]
A little versatility never hurt
I said, a little versatility never hurt
A little versatility never…
Hurt!
[BETTY]
A little versatility never hurt!
Boop-oop-a-doop!
