Karey Kirkpatrick - To Thine Own Self lyrics

[NIGEL] Nick, just read it. I really think I'm onto something here [NICK] I am reading ... and where's the omelette? [NIGEL] There is no omelette [NICK] What do you mean there's no omelette? There has to be an Omelette. It's called Omelette! [NIGEL] Ugghh ... Are you hearing yourself? [NICK] What? [NIGEL] Nick, are you hearing yourself? [NICK] Yes [NIGEL] I can't believe we're having a conversation About a story that has to be all about eggs [NICK] So? [NIGEL] Eggs?? [NICK] Yes [NIGEL] What is it with you and these eggs? [NICK] You just have to trust me I know what I'm doing [NIGEL] I think that you're out of your mind If you think that pursuing that is a good thing [NICK] Well, I do [NIGEL] Okay, well I don't [PETER QUINCE] Read him this part - it's beautiful [NIGEL] Doesn't matter. He won't listen [SHAKESPEARE (AS TOBY)] I should really take these before this turns ugly [FRANCIS FLUTE] Just read him what you wrote [NICK] What the hell are they talking about? [NIGEL] You asked me to write something. Well, here it is! [Chorus: NIGEL] Sure as the day follows the night Sure as the sky turns to blue This much I know, this much is true Above all else in whatever you do [NIGEL/TROUPE] To thine own self be true [NICK] That's it? [TOM SNOUT] It's beautiful! [FRANCIS FLUTE] It's like - good line and good advice! [SHAKESPEARE (AS TOBY)] I don't know. I thought the whole breakfast theme was really strong. Everyone loves breakfast! [NICK] Exactly! But there's no Danish, there's no ham, there's no breakfast at all! You're completely ignoring the theme! [NIGEL] I'm ignoring the "breakfast theme" because it's ridiculous! [NICK] Are you hearing yourself? [NIGEL] Nick ... [NICK] I said - are you hearing yourself? [NIGEL] Yes! [NICK] I can't believe you're trying to change direction cause You've decided that my ideas are wrong [NIGEL] Please ... [NICK] I'm wrong But this "true to yourself" thing is right? [NIGEL] That's not just a line it's what I believe [NICK] Then you are a fool and really naïve - If you think - it's as simple as that [NIGEL] Well, I do [NICK] Okay, well I don't [NIGEL] Ugh [TROUPE] So what do we do ...? [NIGEL] This is hopeless. I don't know how to get through to you! [TROUPE] So what do we do ...? [NIGEL] Nick - the fact that you think that Omelette is good? It worries me! [TROUPE] So what do we do What do we do What do we do ... [NIGEL] Guys? Can you help me out here!? [FRANCIS FLUTE] You really should listen, Nick. It just makes your heart wanna soar! [Chorus: TROUPE] Sure as the day follows the night Sure as the sky turns to blue This much I know, this much is true Above all else in whatever you do To thine own self be true [NICK] You want some truth? Here's the truth - "Omelette" will be known as perhaps the single greatest play ever written! [NIGEL] How can you possibly know that?? [NICK] I just do! [TROUPE] So what do we do ...? [NICK] It will be talked about for generations to come [TROUPE] So what do we do ...? [NICK] We need a hit - not some audience-repelling d**h-play about your descent into madness! [TROUPE] So what do we do What do we do [NIGEL] This descent into madness? - That's you! [TROUPE] What do we do - oooooh [NIGEL] Nick - I mean it. Whatever happened to the guy who inspired me to become a writer? [NICK] He finally has a great idea! Now, we open in A week. Are you gonna help me write Omelette Or not? [NIGEL] No [NICK] No?? [NIGEL] No - I can't. It doesn't feel right. And deep down I think it doesn't feel right to you either [TROUPE] So what do we do ...? [NICK] I'll tell you what we do ... [TROUPE] So what do we do ...? [NICK] We serve up what they're hungry for! [TROUPE] So what do we do ...? [NICK] OMELETTE - THE MUSICAL! [TROUPE] So what do we do ...? [NICK] We're on our way to glory We'll play for kings and queens And there and then they'll see The end will justify the means [TROUPE] The end will justify the means Sure as the day follows the night [NICK] Surely we must see this through [TROUPE] Okay, if you say so [NICK] Damned if I don't [TROUPE] Don't! [NICK] Damned if I do! [TROUPE] Do! [NICK] Damn it, I don't have the luxury to Hang all my hope On some simplistic trope Like to thine own self be true [TROUPE] To thine own self be true [ROBIN] Oh God, I hope what he's saying is true [TROUPE] Please be true, please be true, please be true ...
