What You Want

[Elle]

Wait a minute

This is the kind of girl Warner wants

Someone serious

Someone lawyerly. Someone who wears black when

Nobodies dead

Girls I have a completely brilliant plan

What you want, Warner

What you want is me

But you need to see me in a brand new domain

Well its plain, Warner

In a different setting

You will see your getting

All of this plus a brain

I'll meet you there at Harvard with a book in my hand

Big sturdy book

Big wordy book

Full of words I'll understand

And right there is where you'll see it too

What you want is right in front of you

[All]

What you want

Its clear

What you want

Right here

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

What you want

Its clear

What you want

Right here

What you want is right in front of you, front of you

[Elle]

Step 1 he's off to Harvard law

So I get in there too

[Delta Nu Girls]

Step 2

[Elle]

Make him reassess

Impress him with my high IQ

[Delta Nu Girls]

Step 3

[Elle]

[Kate]

That's great. Nice plan

Now can we think this through

(Spoken) Harvard law school

[Elle]

I have a 4. 0 average

[Kate]

Yea in fashion merchandising. What makes you think you can do this

[Elle]

Love

I'm doing this for love

And love will see me through yes

With love on my side I can't lose

And Harvard can't refuse

A love so pure and true

Don't lawyers feel love too

[Kate]

Even if they do

What you want sweetheart is no easy thing

If you're going to swing it it will wreck your senior spring

Yes its true

First you'll need an LSAT score of more than 174

So no more parties for you

You'll need a killer essay

Or do not even hope

And glowing letter from your betters

Any chance you know the pope

Oh no too bad

Cause that would be a coup

And you got a lot of work in front of you

[All]

What you want

(Sung) What you want button, hey you just say the word

But what you wants absurd

And costs a whole of of smack

And hell why button

When you can stay right here

Pursue a film career

[Mom]

How about a nice Birkin bag

[Dad]

No valet parking

All the girls have different noses

Mom and Dad

[Elle]

This is what Elle woods inspires

In everyone that hires her

And Harvard should too

[Professor #1]

This is not a personal essay!

[Elle / Ensemble]

No, an essay’s so boring and so much does not fit

So we’re appearing live right here

Making sure that you must admit that

Elle woods should join the chosen few

Harvard, what you is right in front of (cheer team breaks into dance)

[Elle]

And now some legal jargon!

Exhibit A!

Time for my cross!

I object!

May I approach!

[All]

Uh Huh, Oh Yea, Go Elle, HO

[Professor #1]

(Blows whistle loudly and dance team stops)

Now see here Ms. Woods

You can’t just barge in here with singing

And dancing, and ethnic movement!

This is a very

Flashy

Presentation, but Is till don’t see one reason to admit you!

[Elle]

How about love?

You ever been in love?

‘Cause if you have you’ll know

That Love never accepts a defeat

No challenge it can’t meet

No place it cannot go!

Don’t say no to a women in love!

Don’t laugh when I say love!

Don’t think that I’m naive!

‘Because even a person who’s smart

Can listen to their heart

Can listen and believe (Dancers in back waving flags and swaying)

So believe in what love can achieve

Do you Believe?

[Professor #2]

I Do!

[Elle]

Do you believe?

[Professor #3]
