Lyrics

[Francine]

Why shouldn't I say that I am great, when it's only true!

Why don't you just get out of my way, I play better than you!

My friends say I'm impatient and rude.

So I bet that I might change my attitude.

I can be meek for a week!

Meek for a week!(x3)

It's a bet I know I can win!

Tomorrow it will begin!

Sunday, like a lamb I was tame!

Monday, I didn't start one fight!

Tuesday, my team lost a game,

It was Arthur's fault, that's all right.

I won't let anything bother me yet.

There are four days, nine hours, and twenty-seven minutes, ten and a one half seconds

Left in the bet!

I can be meek for a week!

Meek for a week!

I know I'll be meek for a week!

Maybe my patience is wearing thin.

But I know that I can win!

(Spoken) Wednesday? Isn't it Sunday yet!?!

Thursday! I've just gotta stop!

Why did I make this bet?

I feel like my head will pop!

(Singing) But if my head pops off, I still won't let them win!

My bodyless head will smile and grin.

Meek for a week!

I can be meek for a week!

They'll all be sorry when I'm meek for a week!

Only two more days, I pray I can make it!

I just hope that my nerves can take it!

Friday, Binky sat on my watch!

Crushed it flat, it was just unreal!

Saturday, it's almost over, then I can say how I really feel!

Only five more seconds and I will win.

If I keep my face frozen in this grin.

[with other kids plus her father Oliver]

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

One!

(alarm clock rings; music stops)

[Francine]

(Spoken) I made it! I won I beat you all! Now, I have a few things to say to you guys. First, you Arthur...

[Arthur]

Francine, your watch is fast, you still have seventeen minutes left to go. What'd you wanna say?

[Francine]

AAAHHH! (music restarts) Seventeen minutes more!?!

I can't be meek for!

Seventeen minutes more!?!

I can't be meek for!

Seventeen minutes more!?!

I can't make it!

I just can't take it!
