[FLOTSAM, spoken]
She may have legs, but her love affair doesn't!

[JESTAM, spoken]
I didn't feel any sparks, did you?

[FLOTSAM, spoken]
No electricity whatsoever!

[JESTAM, spoken]
What's the poor sweet child to do?

[FLOTSAM]
It's such a shame

[JETSAM]
It's such a crime

[FL
OTSAM]To be so close

[JETSAM]
And yet so far

[FLOTSAM]
So overdue
[JETSAM]
Yet underpar

[FLOTSAM]
So out of time

[JETSAM]
It's too sublime

[BOTH]
Sweet Child!

JETSAM
Poor child

[FLOTSAM]
And now her second sun has set!

JETSAM
Dear child!

[FLOTSAM]
Lost child!

[JETSAM]
There's still some hope-
[FLOTSAM]
Ya wanna bet?

[JETSAM]
No

[FLOTSAM]
One more day to get her lovepeck

[JETSAM]
One more day to snag her man

[BOTH]
And then the squid will hit the fan

[FLOTSAM, spoken]
She'll be disgraced

[JESTAM, spoken]
Ugh Debased

[FLOTSAM]
Reviled

[BOTH]
Poor child...!
