Lyrics
Beca:
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle of whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Trivia
- In April 12, 2013, a Director's Cut video of Cups is released in YouTube.
- The "Cups " version of the song was originally by Anna Burden.
- Beca used this song for her audition to become a Barden Bella.
- Anna Kendrick to David Letterman: "'Cause I'm a huge loser, I thought the best way to spend an entire afternoon would be watching (Burden's) video 50 times and teaching myself how to do it," Kendrick told Letterman. When the film's creative powers "found out I could, they wanted me to (perform) it in the movie."
