Right Hand Man

## Plot

Bea, Nick's wife, is frustrated that Nick won't let her do more to support them and Nigel.

## Lyrics (Soundtrack)

[BEA]

If you ever got in trouble I would be there on the double

Just to bail you out

If there's anything you lack

You know I've always got your back

That's what it's all about

Chorus 1: BEA]

Think of me as your sidekick

Helping you whenever I can

I'm more than just a woman, baby

When the pressure's coming, baby

Let me be your right-hand man

[Spoken: NICK]

But you're not a man, I'm the man.

[Spoken: BEA]

Ugh! You're not hearing me.

[Verse 2: BEA (Spoken: NICK)]

If you're ever in a pickle

You can call for me and quick'll

Be how fast I run

(But I'm not in a pickle!)

You and me should be a team

For any dream

Or any scheme

That's how it should be done

[Chorus 2: BEA]

Sure, I could stay in the background

Just smiling every now and again

But just to be a pretty lady

That would be a pity, baby

Let me be your right-hand man

[Spoken: NIGEL]

You should listen to her, she's usually right.

[Spoken: NICK]

Eat your cabbage.

[Spoken: NIGEL]

Ok.

[Bridge: BEA]

I am stronger than you think

Don't be thinking I ain't tough

I am where you oughta go

When the going's getting rough

So when things are going badly

[Spoken: NICK]

But they're not.

[Spoken: NIGEL]

They kinda are.

[Spoken: NICK]

No, things are fine!

[Spoken: BEA]

But if they weren't-

[Spoken: NICK]

But it's okay!

[Spoken: BEA]

Love?

[Spoken: NICK]

What?)

[Spoken: BEA]

Oh!

[Spoken: NICK]

What?

[Spoken: BEA]

Quit trying to protect me!

[Spoken: NICK]

Can we change the subject, please?

[Spoken: BEA]

Not until I know that

[Verse 3: BEA]

If you're ever in a fix

And it's a fix you need to nix

Then I'm your go-to guy

[Spoken: NICK]

You're not a guy!

[BEA]

Don't be so literal!

And don't forget

I'm not a shrinking violet

A solid rock am I

[Chorus 3: BEA]

So don't be thinking I'll crumble

When the you-know-what hits the fan

There's no problem that's too big

 When you're married, that's the gig

So don't be a sexist pig

[Outro: BEA]

Is it asking too much of you?

It's only cause I love you!

Let me be your right

In fact, I'll show you that I'm right!

[Spoken: NICK]

What are you doing now?

[Spoken: BEA]

I'm gonna get you boys some meat!

[Outro: BEA]

Baby, I'm your right

Don't put up a fight

I can be your right

Starting here tonight

Let me be your right-hand man

Let me be your right-hand man!

If you ever got in trouble

Just to bail you out
If there's anything you lack
You know I've always got your back

(Eat your cabbage) Ok

[Outro (Cont.): BEA]
Baby, I'm your right

Let me be your right-hand man

Let me be your right-hand man
