Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Hey, it's Brooke, leave a message)
[Verse 2]
Hey, Brooke, just calling to say
I'm so sorry your best friend tried to ruin the play
You looked spooked about that phantom thing
So thought I'd give you a ring to brighten your day
[Verse 3]
Just because I'm, like, a really good friend
And I care about you, Brooke
So don't take this the wrong way, I don't mean to offend
But if you feel as bad as you look, then
[Verse 4]
Take your time, don't rush back
I can cover Esmerelda's track while you're gone
And I'll send you good vibes while I take the lead, haha, literally
Just kidding
[Verse 5]
Don't worry, Brooke, I can handle it
And every night, I'll say a prayer and keep a candle lit for you
Your cover's got it covered so take all the time you need
Like a week, or a month, or a year
Or the rest of your life
Just kidding
[Verse 6]
Hi, Ms. Walker, tough rehearsal, huh?
(Oh, Tina, I just don't know what to do)
I know, Brooke's just not cutting it
Don't worry, I'm ready to take over
(No, Tina, it's Brooke's part, Brooke is Esmerelda and you are the understudy)
(And it's not her fault that someone is disturbing rehearsals)
But Ms. Walker (No, Tina, now, where's Zeke?)
[Verse 7]
Hey, Brooke, hope you're doing fine
Figured I'd drop a line, not literally, 'cause I totally know all your lines
[Verse 8]
How you feeling, Brooke?
The rumor backstage is
You're super contagious
Or injured your spine? I don't know
[Verse 9]
Well, hope you're getting some rest
It breaks my heart that you're not well, you know
'Cause I'm nice and pretty much the best
Which is why I should probably be the one to tell you
[Verse 10]
Take your time, you looked awful
You need sleep, stay home and have a waffle or two
Let me know if I should tell Ms. Walker you quit
No one would blame you a bit
[Verse 11]
No need to say "thank you," the advice is free
Besides, I know you'd do the same for me, and more
'Cause hey, what's an understudy buddy for?
[Verse 12]
Hi, Ms. Walker (No, Tina)
I am so ready (No, Tina)
But (No, Tina)
[Verse 13]
But seriously
Take your time, watch your back
I mean don't rush back
I mean you know what?
[Verse 14]
Don't come back, like at all
I'm sure they'll do another play next fall
But if you care about this show, don't come back, you're not ready
Stay in bed with your teddy
[Verse 15]
Brooke, I'll miss you, I really will
'Cause yours are literally really big shoes to fill
No offense
Not to mention so last year, and kinda sweaty
[Verse 16]
So since you're feeling unsteady
And I know you have the play's best interests at heart
Let me do you a favor and take your part
And if I stink as your stand-in for the phantom's lover
At least no one's gonna judge ya, Brooke, by your cover
[Verse 17]
But I'll be great, of course, to make you proud
And I vow to think of you each night, when I bow to the crowd
And I'm wowed by just how darn loud they roar
'Cause hey, what's an understudy buddy for?
[Verse 18]
Oh, by the way, this is Tina, goodbye
