[Intro – piano riff with brushes and upright bass bounce] [Verse 1 – female vocal, flirty and playful tone] He walks in with his sleeves rolled high, Ink on his collar, mischief in his eye. Clicks his fingers to a four-bar beat, That man’s got pressure under heat. [Pre-Chorus – tempo lifts, tight brass interplay] He’s got rhythm like a wheel that spins, Feeds me compliments like magazine skins. He says I’m glossy – I just blush, But deep inside, I feel the crush. [Chorus – swing groove, horns and background vocals echo “Mister Duplex”] Mister Duplex, how you roll, Front and back you take control. Stacking hearts and lining lines, You print romance right on time. Mister Duplex, smooth and sly, You bind my thoughts and justify. [Verse 2 – trumpet replies, walking bass slightly syncopated] He keeps his register sharp and clean, Knows every font, each color sheen. Says I'm his favorite paperweight, I tell him: “Boy, don’t laminate.” [Pre-Chorus – added vocal harmony, clarinet twirls in background] He grins like type at 12-point size, Whispers secrets between my sighs. He’s offset charm with perfect press – No need to guess, I must confess… [Chorus – repeat, full horns, backup singers add call-and-response] Mister Duplex, how you roll, Front and back you take control. Stacking hearts and lining lines, You print romance right on time. Mister Duplex, smooth and sly, You bind my thoughts and justify. [Bridge – key change, short sax solo, then spoken line over vamp] [Spoken – sultry tone] He said: “This ain’t just a proof run.” I said: “Darlin’, I’m ready for the final print.” [Final Chorus – high energy, scat ad-libs between lines] Mister Duplex, oh you shine, Turning every sheet into a sign. Bleed me soft, align my soul, You make this girl feel full and whole. Mister Duplex, you’re the thrill – I’d fold myself for you, and still… [Outro – descending horn riff, brushes fade to one final piano wink]
