First Date Disaster (첫 데이트 대참사)

V4.5-ALL

Title: First Date Fiasco (첫 데이트 대참사) [Intro - Glockenspiel, pizzicato strings. A romantic sigh. Then a record scratch.] [Spoken - Bit, dramatic, theatrical] I planned this for weeks. The perfect outfit. The perfect smile. The perfect... disaster. [Verse 1 - Bit, dramatic, exaggerated panic] I saw him at the ticket booth, my heart went boom boom boom I waved my hand too fast, I hit a stranger in the room He smiled, I smiled back, then tripped right on my own two feet Fell into the popcorn stand — now I smell like buttered defeat [Sound effect - Crash! Boing!] [Pre-chorus - Strings pizzicato, building panic] I tried to play it cool, I tried to save the night Then I dropped my soda on his shoes... and apologized in baby voice? (WHY?!) [Chorus - Explosive, theatrical, crowd laughing] FIRST DATE FIASCO, WHAT A SHOW I SPILLED THE DRINKS, I DROPPED MY PHONE IN THE ROW HE SAID "IT'S OKAY" BUT HIS EYES SAID "OH NO" 첫 데이트 대참사, I want to disappear, but here we go! [Crowd laughs and claps] [Spoken - Bit, whispering to the audience, breaking the fourth wall] And that was just the previews. [Verse 2 - Bit, even more dramatic, strings bouncing] During the movie, tried to stretch, my elbow hit his face He said "it's fine" but rubbed his cheek for the rest of the place I laughed too loud at a serious part, the whole theater turned Then choked on a piece of candy — I think my soul just burned [Sound effect - Splat! Cough!] [Pre-chorus - Strings faster, panic rising] I tried to hold his hand, but grabbed the armrest by mistake Then jerked my hand so fast, I gave myself a headache [Chorus - Bigger, crowd singing along] FIRST DATE FIASCO, WHAT A SHOW I SPILLED THE DRINKS, I DROPPED MY PHONE IN THE ROW HE SAID "IT'S OKAY" BUT HIS EYES SAID "OH NO" 첫 데이트 대참사, I want to disappear, but here we go! [Bridge - Stripped, just glockenspiel and voice. Bit speaking, theatrical, defeated, then hopeful.] (spoken - Bit, catching breath) I thought... this is it. He's going to run. He's going to fake a text and leave. But then... he looked at me. And he laughed. Not at me. With me. (spoken - Bit, warm, sincere) And he said... (spoken - Bit, imitating his voice, but still her, sweet) "You're kind of adorable when you're a disaster." [Crowd "awwws" then laughs] [Final Chorus - Key change, full orchestra, joyful, crowd screaming] FIRST DATE FIASCO — HE STAYED THOUGH! I SPILLED THE DRINKS, I DROPPED MY PHONE, I'M A CLOWN FOR SURE BUT HE SMILED AND SAID "LET'S GO FOR ROUND TWO" 첫 데이트 대참사 — I GUESS I'M CUTE WHEN I'M A CLOWN, IT'S TRUE! [Crowd sings last line with her] [Outro - Music fades to glockenspiel. Bit, soft, happy, laughing at herself.] (spoken - Bit) Second date... I'll just order water. (soft laugh. Gong. Crowd cheers.) [End of song.]
