Bigger lyrics

Hi, uh, I'm Neil I wouldn't be here if someone else hadn't passed on hosting, so special thanks to Shia LaBeouf for this opportunity I can break your heart With a work of art And a song that's quiet and small But we're back where we began it all Radio City Music Hall So tonight We might go bigger That's right, it's bigger It's Broadway's greatest night and we're raring to go Let's make it bigger, tonight it's bigger Who will take home a Tony statue we don't know I guarantee a truly legendary show The season's new recruits include the cast of Kinky Boots You know they're beautiful and buff as Navy SEALs And you can bounce a quarter off the ass of Billy Porter Lord, he does eight shows a week in eight inch heels Hats off to Berry Gordy, he runs Motown like a boss He dominates Top 40 and he banged Diana Ross He wrote his own libretto, which is really kind of ballin' He took every Motown classic and he said: I'll put em all in And make it bigger, that's right it's bigger I just learned this dance like half an hour ago We're going bigger, like so much bigger You ever seen so many divas in a row? (Hell no) Well, stick with me cause your MC's a seasoned pro (go, Neil, go) It's Pippin, never flippin', always slippin' And he's pinin' for his corner of the sky But the sky is overcrowded with this oh so highly touted Cast of singing circus people flying by The cast of Bring It On had, count 'em, thirty-two debuts Hey, kids, welcome to Broadway, forget your Union dues In tandem like we planned 'em, forgive me if it's random But Mike Tyson had a one man show, let's give the man a hand And make things bigger (it's bigger) that's right it's bigger I'm here with Iron Mike, he's a heavyweight, yo We're going bigger, the night is bigger We've got cheerleaders, contortionists and so You go to a sports bar, change the channel to our show (go, Neil, go) The magical Matildas stole the show and nearly killed us So they got a special Tony of their own This strikes at the achilles of the jaded former Billys They get Tonys but they're fired when the're grown Now here's the kids from Christmas Story, Annie, and her orphans So many child actors high on Red Bull and endorphins They barely come up to your knees, but God they're singing like MVPs And they're the reason this whole season seems to look like Chuck E, cheese And geez it's bigger, that's right it's bigger Is there a Tony day care where all of you go? You're getting bigger, the night is bigger Do your parents set aside your Broadway dough? (Heck, no) When I played Doogie-, never mind, on with the show (go, Neil, go) Oh, Broadway's where famous people go But being famous doesn't mean that you will get a good review So, Alec write Ben Brantley if you want, that's entertaining too We've got magic to do Bigger, that's right it's bigger I'm walking down the aisle with some Newsies in tow You know it's bigger, so much bigger If there's a Newsie you prefer, please let me know You'll get a Newsie in your gift bag when you go That's true, there's like 150 of those punks Oh wait, check this out Can I have my Tom Hooper Les Mis close-up, please? See, on Broadway we don't need extreme close-ups to prove we're singing live We sing live eight shows a week, check it At the end of the day we are gathered together to honor the best and the brightest And the tomorrow the fashion police will report on your dress and who wore it the tightest If you win have the time of your life, tell your manager, your Dad, and your Mom thanks Hi to you kids and your husband or wife, maybe just for the hell of it, Tom Hanks Nothing is bigger and better than seeing a veteran get an ovation Or seeing a brilliant beginner freak out on a win on their first nomination There's a kid in the middle of nowhere who's sitting there living for Tony performances Singing and flipping along with the Pippins and Wickeds and Kinkys, Matildas and Mormonses So we might reassure that kid And do something to spur that kid 'Cause I promise you all of us up here tonight We were that kid And now we're bigger, tonight it's bigger So let's create the biggest spectacle we know Come see the super sexy Cinderellas sisters celebrating Ladies, grab a fella, the tempo is accelerating Spidey, Pippin, Motown, Phantom, Kinky, Rock Of Ages Chicago, Bring It On, A Christmas Story sharing stages Mamma Mia, Lion King, the Jersey Boys are tappin' Kathy Lee's a Broadway lyricist, so anything can happen Bigger, New York is Bigger So welcome to our bigger, better, best of Broadway Tony show
