Gratuitous Karaoke Moment
(Verse 1)
[MAYA]
I usually hate singing in public

[NATHANIEL]
Yeah, I can't believe I'm holding a mic

[MAYA]
Relatably
We're both off-key

[NATHANIEL]
But it's the part of the film that everyone likes

(Chorus 1)
[NATHANIEL AND MAYA]
It's our gratuitous karaoke moment
We sound really bad, but look! We're starting to sway
Gratuitous karaoke moment
Ooh, how 'bout we flirt in a performative way?

(Verse 2)
[NATHANIEL]
The camerawork gets better
As we get into the swing
[MAYA]
It's makes no sense
But we're gaining confidence

[NATHANIEL AND MAYA]
As if it's unnecessary that we sing

(Chorus 2)
In this gratuitous karaoke moment
Our chemistry is better with every chord
Gratuitous karaoke moment

[MAYA]
The crowd was annoyed

[NATHANIEL]
But now they're getting on board

(Bridge)
[NATHANIEL AND MAYA]
And now there's this section
Where the song gets quiet
And you hear all the glasses clinking in the room
We take each other in and forget where we are
Until we awkwardly remember that we're onstage in a bar
Oh, right!
(Chorus 3)
In this gratuitous karaoke moment
Somehow we are both doing this move
Gratuitous karaoke moment
Sadly, this film does not improve

After this gratuitous karaoke moment

[NATHANIEL]
In 10 years, you realize this scene does not hold up

[MAYA]
But you'll still sing this song at karaoke

[NATHANIEL AND MAYA]
And no one will care because no one actually likes watching other people sing
