If I Didn't Have You

"If I Didn't Have You" is a song featured in the credits of the 2001 Disney/Pixar animated film Monsters, Inc., written by Randy Newman and performed by John Goodman as Sulley and Billy Crystal as Mike Wazowski. The song sings about the humorous, but touching friendship between Mike and Sulley that will never break. Also in the beginning of the film an up-tempo instrumental version plays as the opening theme. The song also won an Academy Award for Best Original Song making it the first time Newman won an Oscar. An a-capella version of the more up-tempo instrumental for this song is used as the opening theme for the TV series Monsters at Work, arranged and performed by Dominic Lewis. If one is to be picky, this song is the anthem of the Monsters franchise.
== Lyrics ==
Sulley: If I were a rich man
With a million or two
Mike: I'd live in a penthouse
In a room with a view
Sulley: And if I were handsome
(Mike: No way!) 
It could happen.
Those dreams do come true
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you
Wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
Wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
Wouldn't have nothin'
Mike: Can I tell you something?
For years, I have envied
(Sulley: You green with it.)
Your grace and your charm
Everyone loves you, you know?
(Sulley: Yes, I know, I know, I know.)
Mike: I must admit it
Big guy, you always come through
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you
Both: You and me together
That's how it always should be
One without the other
Don't mean nothin' to me
Nothing to me
Mike: Yeah, I wouldn't be nothin'
(Sulley: Aw, now)
If I didn't have you to serve
I'm just a punky little eyeball
And a funky optic nerve
Hey, I never told you this
Sometimes I get a little blue
(Sulley: Looks good on you.)
But I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you
Sulley: Let's dance
Mike: Ha, ha!
Look, Ma! I'm dancin'!
Would you let me lead?
Look at that, it's two big guys
Who are light on their feet!
Don't you dare dip me,
Don't you dare dip me,
Don't you dare dip me!
Ow, I should have stretched!
Sulley: Yes, I wouldn't be nothin'
If I didn't have you
(Mike: I know what you mean, Sulley, because...)
I wouldn't know where to go
(Mike: Me too because I...)
Wouldn't know what to do
(Mike: Why do you keep singin' my part?)
Both: I don't have to say it
(Sulley: Aw, say it anyway)
Mike: 'Cause we... 
Both: ...both know it's true
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you
Wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
Youuuuu!
Mike: One more time! It worked!
Sulley: Don't have to say it
Mike: Where'd everybody come from?
Sulley: 'Cause we both know it's true
Mike: Let's take it home, big guy!
Both: I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have
I wouldn't have nothin'
If I didn't have you
Mike: You, you!
Sulley: A-E-I-O
Mike: That means you
Yeah!
