• Like You

  [The students have finished their tests, and are all taking long-desired breaks. Sitting around in an apartment, one group of friends is talking about how glad they are to be done with finals, and can't wait until they are out of school. Another friend who graduated a short time ago begins to tell the student that life gets a lot harder than studying for exams. As they begin to argue, one person leaps up and shouts "Dear God, please nobody talk! We'll all just end up singing again!" But by that time, it's already too late...]

  Like You
  Parody of Jessica Simpson’s “With You”

  Ari: The real me’s a college student
        with a backpack on and an open beer
        wish I could graduate
        man wouldn’t that be great
  Koh:The real me is to work all day,
         slaving for the man just wishing for pay
         wish having to study
         was my biggest worry

  Both: I start thinking about it
           could you please tell me about your life
           what does it feel like

  Like you
  I could realize my dream
  I would trade places gladly
  because my life right now makes me want to scream
  I never to seem to have no fun
  I never felt so envious
  I just want to become
  become just like you
  like you
  become just like you

  Kei:  You speak and it’s like a song, I’ll enjoy college for a bit longer
         Just what was I thinking? I’m living like a King
  Lenny: I related truthfully how supporting yourself consumes your day
             sometimes brings me to tears, knowing I’ll work for years

  Josh:  The more that I think about it, much as I complain bout my life
         turns out you’re right

  All      : Like you
           I could live out my dream
           I would trade places gladly
           because my life right now makes me want to scream
          i’ve been doing this all wrong
          I really should have thought it out
          so I don’t become
          become just like you
          like you

  All: Grad school maybe
       could be the key
       to postpone real life
       then i can avoid strife
       like you

  All:
  Like you
  I could live out my dream
  I would trade places gladly
  because my life right now makes me want to scream
  i’ve been doing this all wrong
  I really should have thought it out
  so I don’t become
  become just like you
  like you
