It's a Stupid Idea (To Put on a Broadway Show)

It's a stupid idea

To put on a Broadway show

You'll never make back your money

You'll never get people to go

It's a stupid idea

To put on a Broadway show

But we're stupid

So this is our stupid little Broadway song

The three of us met in 2015

Sharing a comedy musical dream

Writing songs together we became best friends

The best friends that ever lived

The best friends that ever lived

So we invested two hundred thousand dollars into this

Dancers and lights, sound technicians

Makeup and tights, cool projections

Staffers and stuffers for tickets and playbills

Will we have enough left for us to pay bills?

Fourteen thousand dollars for an Airbnb

For five of us for just six weeks

Location rental, insurance and costumes

Merchandise shipping so that's why it cost you (Yeah, boy)

Ninety-six dollars from an eighty dollar base price

Taxes and fees make it add up so high

We have to add a meet-and-greet

To make sure we make ends meet

It's a stupid idea

To put on a Broadway show

Critics will say, "Your show's stupid"

We know

It's supposed to be stupid, stupid

A stupid idea

To put on a Broadway show

But we're stupid

So this is our stupid little Broadway song

It's stupid to hire some dancers to do this

It's stupid to hire some singers to do this

Ooh, stupid, stupid, stupid boys

And you may think that you paid too much

For a show this full of fluff

But we promise you (We promise you)

We promise you (We promise you)

We're not charging you enough

It's a stupid idea (Stupid idea, stupid idea)

To put on a Broadway show

You'll never make back your money

And no one will think you're funny, honey

A stupid idea (So very stupid)

A stupid idea (Dumb, so stupid)

This is our stupid little

Off-Off-Broadway show

Broadway show

Broadway show, show, show, show, show

Show
