Archie:
I got one shot
Better get it right
I'm getting ready
Got to look real hot
When it's Friday night
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready today
I'm getting ready to say
I'm not that weird geek you think I must be
I'm getting ready to move
I'm getting ready to prove
Kendra, just needs a sex God like me
Evan:
On Friday night, I'll be the hometown hero
Archie:
Got to cut my nails
Evan:
If this goes right, then I'll be free and clear
Archie:
Got to shave my beard
Evan:
And if it goes as planned, Patrice will understand
Surprises are worth paying when your dreams come true
Archie:
I'm getting ready for her
I'm getting ready, yes sir
Ready for passion to light and romance
Archie & Evan:
I'm getting ready to go
I'm getting ready and knowing
I may only get this one chance
Brett:
There in the dark of the Appleton Cinema
Free from the public's prying eyes
There with my girl in the chair beside me
I can reveal my big surprise
There while the rest of the crowd's immersed and
All of the blood vessels on screen's burst and
Kendra will get to be the first in line to realize
Here comes the tongue!
Eddie & Malcolm:
Here it comes! Here it comes!
Brett:
Here comes the tongue!
Eddie & Malcolm:
Here it comes! Here it comes!
Brett:
Here comes the--
Brett, Eddie, Malcolm:
Tongue!
Kendra:
Okay, so just go through this with me one more time.
Lucy:
Okay.
Kendra:
If he does it and I let him,
Lucy:
You're a slut.
Kendra:
Right.
But if he wants to and I stop him,
Lucy:
You're a tease.
Kendra:
God!
And if I let him, and I like it
Lucy:
You're a skank.
Kendra:
Wow.
Lucy:
But he could also get his tongue stuck down your throat
Or try to kiss so hard he chips one of your teeth
Oh, there's a million other ways it could all go wrong
It doesn't matter if they urge to kiss him back is strong
You've got to hold that boy in bay
Step back from the edge and say
I'm a good girl
I don't do that
I'm a nice girl
Put that away
I'm a good girl
Keep your hands off
If you tell him that
Then you'll be okay
Kendra:
What if it's just like, this much?
Lucy:
When you got that solo in choir
It's cause I told you what to sing
When you got the lead in the fall school play
It's cause I coached you all last spring
When you got to be the head on the cheerleading squad
It's cause I taught you everything
Think of all the things I should've had, you've got instead
Because you did just what I said
You're a good girl
Kendra:
I'm a good girl
Lucy:
You don't do that
Kendra:
But he's so cute
Lucy:
You're a good girl
Kendra:
Listen Lucy
Lucy:
Don't question me
Kendra:
But I could be his girlfriend
Lucy:
You're a good girl
Kendra:
I'm a good girl
Lucy & Kendra:
I don't do that
Lucy & Kendra:
I could be Brett's girlfriend
Lucy:
If I could get her out of the way
Girls:
I've got to get ready for him
Archie:
I'm getting ready, it's true
Archie & Evan:
I'm getting ready to do
Something that makes her accept me at last
All:
I'm getting ready alright
Nothing can stop me tonight
I'm getting ready
Ready
Ready
Archie:
Check me out!
All:
Now!
