JENNA:
OMG
Chlo, answer me
Whoa, wait until I tell you what I heard!
It’s too fucked to type
This shit is ripe
Call back, I’ll yell you every word

CHLOE:
Jenna Rolan calling
Jenna Rolan calling
Jenna Rolan calling
Hey

JENNA:
Oh my God
Oh my God
Okay
So
At the end of last night’s party
Very end of last night’s party
Did you see Rich?

CHLOE:
Oh, I saw Rich.

JENNA:
So, he’s behaving hazy
Like a tweakin’ junky
Flailing crazy
Like a freakin’ monkey

CHLOE:
He’s gotta learn to handle his high
Shouldn’t drink so much for a small guy

JENNA:
Right, but he wasn’t drunk

CHLOE:
The Hell you say, Jenna?

JENNA:
Yo! He wasn’t drunk

CHLOE:
The Hell you say, Jenna?

JENNA:
No!
Because I heard from Dustin Kropp
That rich had barely touched a drop
Which means that you can’t blame the things he did on alcohol
It’s just so terrible, I don’t want to relive it all
But do you want me to tell you?

CHLOE:
Spit it out, spit it out

JENNA:
You really want me to tell you?

CHLOE:
Spit it out, spit it out

JENNA:
I’ll tell you ‘cause you are my closest friend

CHLOE:
No, I’m not

JENNA:
Yeah, I know
But here’s what happened at the party’s end
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
Oh
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
Oh
I thought I was dreaming
Everybody was screaming
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house

CHLOE:
OMG
Brooke, answer me
Whoa, wait until I tell you what I saw

BROOKE:
Ignore

CHLOE:
And also
Space
And frowny face
(spoken)
I’m sorry that Jeremy made out with me at the party but it was totally his fault
and let’s not let boys come between us ever ever again, mmkay?
Smiley face, lipstick, kitty paw.

BROOKE (spoken):
Hey.

CHLOE (spoken):
We cool?

BROOKE (spoken):
We are?

CHLOE:
Okay, so--
At the end of last night’s party
Very end of last night’s party
Did you see Rich?

BROOKE:
No, I was crying

CHLOE:
He’s behaving weird
And I was frightened
‘Cause I feared
His state was heightened

BROOKE:
He’s gotta learn to not really smoke a lot
He shouldn’t get so high for a tiny guy

CHLOE, BROOKE:
He’s gotta learn to not really smoke a lot
He shouldn’t get so high for a tiny guy

CHLOE:
Right, but he wasn’t high

BROOKE:
The Hell you say, Chloe?

CHLOE:
Yo! He wasn’t high

BROOKE:
The Hell you say, Chloe?

CHLOE:
No!
Which means that you can’t blame the things he did on pot
It was so awful so I’ll talk about it a lot
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
Oh
I thought I was dreaming
Everybody was screaming
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house

JENNA:
Hey, everybody, have you heard?
Rich set a fire now go spread the word

BROOKE:
Sending a text!

ALL:

BROOKE:
Sending a tweet!

ALL:
Tweet!

BROOKE:
Sending a text!

ALL:

BROOKE:

Step and repeat

BROOKE:

ALL:

BROOKE:

ALL:
Flecked?

BROOKE:
No, I wrote fucked
Does that say flecked?
Sorry, guys, it’s just my autocorrect

ALL:
Always be aware of autocorrect
R-i-c-h, can’t you see?
Just how much I care about your tragedy
I changed my profile pic to you
Now I fully understand what you’re going through
R-i-c-h, it’s a drag
I read she read they read you’re in a body bag
R-i-c-h, can’t you see?
Just how much I love your tragedy?
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
Oh
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
It was so terribly gory
I got the whole bloody story
And yeah, I wasn’t quite there
But I know what happened, I swear
When Rich set a fire and he burned the house down
When Rich set a fire and he leveled the town
When Rich set a fire and he fled to Bombay
When Rich set a fire ‘cause he knew he was gay
When Rich set a fire and he melted his head
When Rich set a fire and is totally dead
When Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
Burned it down
Whoa
Yeah yeah yeah
Did you hear? Did you hear?
Burned it down
Whoa
Did you hear? Did you hear?
Yeah yeah yeah
Burned it down
Whoa
Did you hear? Did you hear?
That Rich set a fire and he burned down the
Rich set a fire and he burned down the
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house
He told me ‘cause he’s my best friend
Rich set a fire and he burned down the house!
Send!
