[Intro, spoken over a count-in] Is this thing on? Oh, good. That would’ve been embarrassing. One, two— [Verse 1, playful rhythmic rap] Pink slip, pink hair clip, late to my own intervention Walk in, take a bow, redirect the attention You ask how I’ve been, I do somebody’s impression Now you’re laughing so hard that you forget the question Got a mouth full of confetti, let it stick to the floor Got a joke about the dent in my bedroom door You say, “You’re such a mess,” I say, “You should see more” Then I make the story better than it happened before [Pre-Chorus, lightly sung] Keep the kitchen light on I can get another round Everybody’s going home I get louder heading out [Chorus, bright chant with a bouncing bassline] Ha-ha, hit the laugh track Bad night? Put a little clap on that Say my name, let the whole room shout back One more joke, then you gotta laugh, laugh Ha-ha, hit the laugh track Too much? Let me take the last half back I was gonna say something, lost that Never mind, never mind, laugh, laugh [Post-Chorus, crowd response] Who’s a good time? I am, I am Who’s doing fine? Show of hands Mine’s up high Don’t look down Keep that noise up Drown me out [Verse 2, tighter rap, humor gradually slipping] Typed “Can you come over?” then I added “for a drink” Then a stupid little picture so you wouldn’t have to think You replied with seven laughing faces, said I was the best I put a heart on your reaction, left the sentence in my chest I know which voice will get you, which embarrassing old dance How to make a crowded doorway give somebody else a chance But you caught me in the kitchen with my coat still on at three And I hated how you waited for an answer out of me [Pre-Chorus, exposed singing] You didn’t ask for one more Didn’t reach to turn it loud Just moved the glasses over Pulled another chair out [Chorus, bigger vocals with increasingly abrupt laugh samples] Ha-ha, hit the laugh track Bad night? Put a little clap on that Say my name, let the whole room shout back One more joke, then you gotta laugh, laugh Ha-ha, hit the laugh track Too much? Let me take the last half back I was gonna say something, lost that Never mind, never mind— [Bridge, drums stop, close dry vocal] Would you still come over If I wasn’t any fun? If I let the question finish If I couldn’t give you one? I could leave the dishes I could let you see the place Could you sit here for a minute While I work out what to say? [One bar of complete silence] [Final Chorus, voice alone for the first two lines] Ha-ha— No, don’t put it back [Drums and bass return, no canned laughter] I was gonna say something, still am Give me time, give me time, I can You can laugh when I mean it You can stay when I don’t There’s a joke on the tip of my tongue For a second, let it go [Outro, quietly spoken] You want something to drink? The clean cups are— Actually. Can you stay here?
