Badder
[Verse 1: Malvina, Giselle, Both]
Please don't fear that you are upsetting me
Dear, I barely know you're there
Sorry, were you speaking? You're hard to see
Like a smell that lingers in the air
Trying to be clever? That makes no sense
That's a role you haven't earned
You don't see your own insignificance
Well, it's time you learned

[Chorus: Both, Giselle, Malvina]
You may think you're bad
But, darling, I am badder
Really, sweetie, where's the thrill in
Being just a has-been, a wannabe villain?
You're a garter snake
And I'm a big puff adder
Face it, I am so much badder
Than you

[Verse 2: Giselle, Malvina, Both]
Surely you can see it's ridiculous
Two villains in one fairy tale
This town is too small for the both of us
So off into the sunset, you should sail
I can send my minions to help you pack
I'll be careful not to crow
Darling, I will miss you, alas, alack
But you have got to go
[Chorus: Both, Malvina, Giselle]
You can claim you're bad
But I'm a better badder
Nothing you've got up your sleeve'll
Ever equal me as a mistress of evil
I'm the heart and brains
And you, you're just the bladder
How can you believe you're badder than I?

[Bridge: Both, Malvina, Giselle]
Nobody ever would bother to tell
A tale with Maleficent and with Cruella
My cheekbones are sharper
My hair's much more high
So jump down a rabbit hole
Go climb a beanstalk
It's not au revoir, but goodbye

[Verse 3: Giselle, Malvina, Both]
Someone really should put a stop on her (Someone really should put a stop on her)
Up to me to find a way (Up to me to find a way)
Maybe there's a house I can drop on her
Mm, is a poisoned apple too cliché?
Drag her to a rooftop and toss her down
A spell to make her disappear
And when she is gone, I will own the town
And everyone will cheer
[Chorus: Both, Giselle, Malvina]
She was sorta bad
But you are so much badder
Clearly that is why I have to
See that she lives happily never after
Once I sit alone atop the villain ladder
Everyone in Monrolasia
Will totally be in my thrall
They will say, "Oh, Queen, we praise ya"
Because I will be not just badder
Because I will be not just badder, badder
But the nasty, everlast-y, flabbergast-y
Very, very baddest of them all
