Lyrics[]

Original Broadway Version[]

[DONKEY]
Hey, hey, hey! You gotta let me go with you
You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak
Well maybe you do

But that's why we gotta stick together
No, no, no! Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak
Just hear me out! I might surprise you
I'll be a friend, when others despise you
Don't roll your eyes! Stop with the mopin'
Yunita Pal! My calendar's open

I'll bring you soup, when you feel congested
I'll bail you out, when you get arrested
I got your back, wha-wha-what, when things get scary
And I'll shave it, when it gets hairy

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
You need me
You need me

I'll treat you right, and never act shoddy
If you kill a man, I'll hide the body
So what do you say?
You're not responding
I think we're bonding

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
You need me
You and me, we belong together

Like butter and grits
Like kibbles and bits
Like yin and yang
Sturm and Drang
Like Eng and Chang, attached at the hip
But not an old lady hip that might break
I'm gonna be on you like a fat kid on cake

Like Cupid and Psyche, like pop rocks and Mikey
We'll stick together like that Velcro stuff
I'm the fuzzy side; you'll be the spiky
Oh! Like little kids and pajamas
With those funny things at the bottom, you know, feeties
Like donuts and, oh, what goes with donuts?

Donuts and diabetes
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Hold me, hug me
Take me, please
Na-na-na-na-na-na, please don't let me go
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
Don't let me go
Go, go don't let me go
