Success! (There Are Many Ways To Write a Musical, and This Is Not One of Them) the Musical

Success! Success! Success! Is looking me in the eye Success! Just called my name. Success! Just walked through my door. Success! Just give me more and more! I just wrote a piece of, radiance Success! I just listed my own pride Success! I just wrote down a living hell Success! My award is right on time Success! Success! Is looking me directly in the face Success! Just slapped me on the cheek Success! Just brought itself into my place Success! Told me not to peek. I just knocked my teacher in the heart Success! Just walked into her brain Success! Just tore Mrs. Cornwell apart Success! From her, it slips away. SUCCESS!
