The Young Actress's Villanelle

You’ve got a lot of spunk, kiddo
I’ve seen greener pups make an appearance
But you’ve got something, that’s fo’ sho.

In this town, one trick ponies, blow
Monotonous and uninspiring is their song and dance
You’ve got a lot of spunk, kiddo.

They think they’re the shit, all puffed up to crow
You’re plain and modest at first glance. . .
But you’ve got something, that’s fo’ sho.

When will they learn that talent must grow
Arrogance and humility must strike a balance
You’ve got a lot of spunk, kiddo.

Don’t give into their fad, don’t fall to their low
Let them fight it out so you can make your entrance
‘Cause you’ve got something, that’s fo’ sho

Come on stage, sell it to the front row
Bless the balconies, give them a deliverance
You’ve got a lot of spunk, kiddo
You’ve got something, that’s fo’ sho.
