about

Sometimes Less is More, but not in the case of the guy singing this song! Things get a little ridiculous when he realises that maybe he has a little more ‘More’ than he bargained for.

An epic Broadway-style show-tune about the perils of greed.

lyrics

I spy a nice pie, tasty and sweet
Perhaps I should wait, save it for a treat
But I crave pastry and I’m hasty to eat
I take a small bite, but I’m still incomplete

I want more
I want more
Give me more

I want more
I want more
Give me more

Well, now the pie’s gone, if you wanted some, tough!
But I can’t shake the feeling that my life is so rough
Pieless people keep smiling, but I’m in a huff
And what is this stuff that they call 'Enough'?

I want more
I want more
Give me more

I want more
I want more
Give me more

More of that
And I'll take that
Some of that
And I'll take more of that
Give me that!
I'll take that... and that
And that I'll take all of that

Hold on. Wait
What are you doing? It’s not the end of the song!
Play more!

I want more
I want more
Give me more

I want more
I want more
Give me more

I want more
I want more
Give me more

But there’s no more
There’s no more
Anymore

I’ve made a mess, I confess
Not one slice of pie is left
And I’m distressed and depressed
But wait, what’s this in this dusty old chest?
Lets see… It reads L E S S.
What? Less!?
But...

I want more
I want more
Give me more

I want more
I want more
Give me more

Yes, I want more
I want more
Give me more

I want more
I want more
Give me more

Ow wawnt maww
Ow wawnt maww
Give me mawwww
What's going on?

Oww wawnt maww
Oww wawnt maww
Give me mawwww
Oh no, I'm a guitar!

Is this meant to be funny?
James! Who authorised this?
I wanted a symphony orchestra, not a rock opera!
Get me out of this blasted ensemble, this instant!
I can't hear myself think!
Oh dear, this is getting ridiculous
'Have more', they said, 'It will be wonderful', they said
Will somebody switch it off!?
Silence!!
Right, joke's over!
Turn it off!
All the way off!
Less!
That's enough!
