[Instrumental intro]

[Intro: Both, Harmonizing]
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, can’t agree tonight,
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, nothing feels right!
The English Patient, it’s the fight of our lives,
Oh baby, oh baby, will we survive?

[Verse 1: Man, Smoothly]
I saw the movie, it made my heart soar,
The desert romance, the love I adore.
It’s art, it’s beauty, a masterpiece, you see,
How can you not love it? Baby, agree with me!

[Woman, Sharply]
It dragged, it crawled, I was bored to tears,
Three hours long? It felt like twenty years!
The sand, the staring, oh, spare me the pain,
How can you like it? Do you have a brain?

[Chorus: Both, Snapping Fingers]
Oh, no, oh no, we’ll never see eye to eye,
Oh, no, oh no, we’re too stubborn to try.
It’s a fight, it’s a war, over some desert lore,
We’ll bicker, we’ll squabble, ’til we both hit the floor!

[Verse 2: Man, Sarcastic]
You’d rather watch explosions, cheap thrills galore,
Fast cars and gunfights? Well, how mature!
Subtlety, meaning—it’s clearly not your style,
I’ll rent you a cartoon; you’ll laugh for a while.

[Woman, Enraged]
Oh, excuse me, mister “I’m so refined,”
Your “taste” is just snobbery, don’t act so kind!
It’s pretentious drivel, it’s not even deep,
And those accents? Please, put me to sleep!

[Bridge: Both, Overlapping]
Man: It’s timeless, it’s classic, it’s passion on screen!
Woman: It’s pointless, it’s dreary, the plot’s obscene!
Man: The score was enchanting, every note divine!
Woman: I’d rather hear nails scratching a chalkboard line!

[Chorus: Both, Louder and More Aggressive]
Oh, no, oh no, we’ll never see eye to eye,
Oh, no, oh no, we’re too stubborn to try.
It’s a fight, it’s a war, over some desert lore,
We’ll bicker, we’ll squabble, ’til we both hit the floor!

[Verse 3: Woman, Mocking]
Go marry the movie, let it make you cry,
You’ll sob in your popcorn, oh, my, oh, my!
If you love it so much, why not learn to act?
Get a camel and some goggles, now there’s a fact!

[Man, Losing It]
Well, maybe I will, you uncultured bore!
You’d hate Shakespeare, Monet, and much more!
I’ll go watch it again, a hundred times through,
Enjoy your action flicks with explosions and goo!

[Outro: Both, Angry Harmonies]
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, can’t agree tonight,
Ooh-wah, ooh-wah, nothing feels right!
It’s The English Patient, and it’s tearing us apart,
Oh baby, oh baby, we’ve lost our hearts!

[Final line, spoken by both angrily]
“You’re impossible!”
“So are you!”
