Bad Guy Medley
Two Billie Eilish hits (Bad Guy/You Should See Me In A Crown) are woven together to tell the story of a man who rises to power through his charisma and charm, then shows his true colors by using force to control his subjects. One person dares to rebel, and the two face off at the end of the song with simultaneous solos over the rest of the choir. This chart would work in any story show with a similar narrative, or as a standalone concert piece with a unique 'mini-story' within the medley.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Alto & Tenor Sax

Bite my tongue, bide my time Wearing a warning sign Wait 'til the world is mine Visions I vandalize Cold in my kingdom size Fell for these ocean eyes You should see me in a crown (What a handsome guy) I'm gonna run this nothing town (With those ocean eyes) Watch me make 'em bow (We can't say no) One by one by one (He will teach us how to grow) One by one You should see me in a crown (We'll be so grateful) Your silence is my favorite sound (For the wisdom he shows) Watch me make 'em bow One by one by one (No, no!) Think twice, play nice This isn't how you should lead White shirt, now red, my bloody nose Got us walkin' on tippy toes Creepin' around criminals But now everyone knows Bruises on both my knees from you Don't say thank you or please I'll do just what I have to do I'm never gonna bow to you! So you're a tough guy Like it really rough guy Just can't get enough guy Chest always so puffed guy How did we let you take control? You're the bad guy! Count my cards, watch them fall Blood on a marble wall I guess you fooled us all You're so criminal I'm the bad guy....duh! You should see me in a crown (Bite my tongue, bide my time) I'm gonna run this nothing town (Until the chance is mine) I'm the bad guy, make your momma sad guy, (Bad guy, sad guy) Make the people mad guy, I'm the bad guy (How did we let you take control) I'm gonna do what I have to do I'm never gonna bow to you No, no! Watch me make 'em bow one by one by one! (Billie Eilish)
