Hey Mr., what about your sister?
Do you really wanna talk to me like that?
Hey brother, I know you gotta mother.
Do you really wanna get your smart mouth smacked?
Now, tryin' to talk to me ain't a crime
I'm a baddie and I know I look fine.
But don't you dare step outta line.
You gotta do better.
Early versions of the show included all covers. "Our show takes pop, R&B, jazz, choral numbers," explained Drew. "There's a little bit of everything from a lot of different styles. As we started to sit down and come up with original songs, we kind of wanted to keep that same feel. We still have six covers in the show. And then we have 10 original songs by a variety of writers, which makes it stand out even more."
