Legally Blonde (Remix) Lyrics
[VIVIENNE, spoken]
Maybe Warner saw a blonde who was sleeping her way to the top
But I see a woman who doesn’t have to
(sung)
I used to pray for the day you’d leave
Swore up and down you did not belong
But when I’m wrong, then I say I’m wrong
And I was wrong about you
So listen up!
I see no end to what you’ll achieve
That’s only if you don’t turn and run
You’ve proved it to me
Now show everyone what you can do
[VIVIENNE & ENID]
And you look great in dark blue
[VIVIENNE]
Get back in the game
Back on the case
Take a good look at my face
I’m not a fool and as a rule
I do not bond
[ENSEMBLE]
Never known her to bond
[VIVIENNE (ENSEMBLE)]
But I see a star (Ooh, sha-la-la)
You’re my new muse (Ooh, sha-la-la)
You’ve got the best freaking shoes (Ooh, sha-la-la, ooh)
[VIVIENNE & ENSEMBLE]
And you lit a fuse
So go show them who’s
[VIVIENNE (ENSEMBLE)]
Legally blonde (Sha-la-la-la-la-la)
[VIVIENNE & ENSEMBLE]
Yes, you lit a fuse
So go show them who’s
Legally—
[ELLE, spoken]
Sorry, Vivienne
I’m never wearing that again
[PAULETTE, spoken]
Um, honey
You’re in the supply closet
[ELLE, spoken]
I know!
I said I’m never wearing that again
I’m wearing this!
[ELLE (sung)]
Back in the game

Oh my god, Elle!
[ELLE, spoken]
Thanks, Greek Chorus, but I don’t need voices in my head today
[MARGOT/SERENA/PILAR, spoken]
Honey, it’s us, the girls of Delta Nu!
(sung)
We came to see

Jump on your feet, ’cause she’s legally blonde
