"I'm Number One" is a song from the 2014 film, Muppets Most Wanted. It was sung by Constantine and Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais).

Summary[]

“'I'm Number One' is about the bad frog Constantine being the number one criminal and his sidekick Dominic, played by Ricky Gervais, being number two. It's a power struggle, a classic rivalry song in a style that could be performed in a cabaret venue. A lot of the old Muppets songs are like that--show pieces.
Bret McKenzie


It is one of the few original songs on the soundtrack that is presented in its entirety in the film. The extended version of the film features a brief reprise toward the end of the film.

Lyrics[]

Constantine:
I'm number one,
You're number two
We're criminals at large

But I'm at larger than you
I'm number one,
You're number two

I believe in equality
As long as you get less than me!
I'm one,

Dominic:
You're one

Constantine:
You're number two

Dominic:
I'm number two

Constantine:
You may think that you're smarter,
But I'm smarter-er than you!
I'm number one!

You're number two!
You're lucky to be number two
Not number three!

I can see by the look in your eye 
You want to get the bigger piece of the pie
One day, you'll get your chance 
But in the meantime, you've got to dance monkey dance!

Dominic:
I'm number two, he's number one
I can't believe I'm working for an amphibian
I'm number two, he's number one

Constantine:
I'm number one!

Dominic:
You know life's gone to the dogs
When your boss is a frog!
I can see it's just a matter of time before he's gone

And I'm at the front of the line!
It won't be long 'til I get my chance
But in the meantime, I've got to dance monkey dance

Constantine:
Dance monkey dance!
Now, watch me!
I'm number one!

Dominic:
He's number one!

Constantine:
You're number two!

Dominic:
I'm number two!

Constantine:
That's it, kid, there you go
Now step aside, this ain't your show!
I'm one

Dominic:
I'm one

Constantine:
I'm number one!

Dominic:
Yes, we know!

Constantine and Dominic:
I'm (He's) number one!

Constantine:
That's how it's done!
