Lyrics


MOGUL
Hello my dear
More beautiful every time we meet

DIVA
Why aren’t you sweet
(Aside)
Buttering me up already

MOGUL
Let me get straight to my point

DIVA
Of course, of course

MOGUL
I’m very worried about Baron Anchor
I know you’ve seen the signs
His mental capacities
Wander increasingly

DIVA
Yes that happened on my show

DIVA & MOGUL
I know, I know

DIVA
When we finally got backstage
So much worse

MOGUL
And the world must never know about it

DIVA
My lips are sealed

MOGUL
Still, I need your help

DIVA
How is that?

MOGUL
As Anchor's friend
Help me convince Anchor to retire

DIVA
He won't care for that one bit

MOGUL
So I've learned
He rejected this very generous severance offer

DIVA
Generous indeed!
He's a stubborn man when his mind is made up

MOGUL
You can sway him with your charm and friendship

DIVA
I'm not sure of that

MOGUL
Don't be so modest
You can persuade him

DIVA
(Aside)
More important
What's in it for me?

MOGUL
Confide in him
How much you'd love to retire
To escape the rat race
(Aside)
And now the bait

MOGUL
Then of course
His show will need
A brand new host

DIVA
(Aside)
A worthy bribe

DIVA
But I have my own talk show
I couldn't leave it behind

MOGUL
No need to
Keep them both
Give your fans a double dose

DIVA
Yes my fans would eat that up

MOGUL
(Aside)
Damn I'm good at this

DIVA & MOGUL
We only want what's best for Anchor
We only want what's best for him
We only want what's best for Anchor
(Aside)
I only care what's best for me

DIVA
We only want what's best
We only want what's best
We only want
We only want
What matters is
What's best for me

I've one simple rule
That guides me through life
Always look out
For number one
And take what's best for me

I deserve my due
Justly entitled
To reap the fruits
Of my high rank
I only care what's 
Best for me
I only care what's 
Best for me
I only care what's 
Best for me
MOGUL
We only want what's best for Anchor
What is best for him
Best for Anchor
Best for Anchor
What matters is
What's best for me

I believe there is a force 
Which guides decisions that I make
Because somehow
Things all work out
Just right for me

I make my own fate
I robustly take anything I need
'Cause I deserve
The finest things
I only care what's 
Best for me
I only care what's 
Best for me
I only care what's 
Best for me
