Commie Newspapers lyrics
by Idina Menzel
[FLORENCE]
Well, we can't complain that
You've been ignored by the press
[FREDDIE]
What'd they say? What'd they say?
[FLORENCE]
They're not too polite
[FREDDIE]
They say I'm a sh*t?
[FLORENCE, spoken]
Well, yes
They pulled you to pieces
[FLORENCE]
In five different languages
The Times: "You thrive on unpleasantness"
[FLORENCE, spoken]
Le Monde: "Frederick Trumper, la honte des écheques"
[FREDDIE]
I don't believe that they can't see my game
I'm like that tennis player
What's-his-name?
They love to hate me
And for us that's dollars!
[FLORENCE, spoken]
Die Welt: "Trumper: Der wilde Junge des Schachs."
[FREDDIE]
Hey, look, here's a piece that
Some idiot's written on you
[FREDDIE, spoken]
"Florence Vassy, petite Hungarian-born personal assistant—"
[FREDDIE]
"His gentle companion—"
If they only knew!
[FLORENCE, spoken]
What do you mean?
I've always been gentle with you, Freddie
[FLORENCE & FREDDIE]
"She stands by her champion—"
[FREDDIE, spoken]
Oh, I like this
[FLORENCE & FREDDIE]
"—Whose demands are so infantile"
[FREDDIE, spoken]
I don't like this
[FLORENCE]
If you don't like it, then it's up to you
They like the Russian, they could like you too
[FREDDIE, spoken]
Commie newspapers
[FREDDIE]
Of course the bast*rds all support the Russian
[FLORENCE]
But Sergievsky seems a sweet opponent
So why do you abuse him all the time?
[FLORENCE, spoken]
Freddie, I love you very much
But just for once
Don't go on about the Russians at the press conference, okay?
