I'm the Plus One

[Instrumental Intro: 8 bars, drums and bass only, no vocals]

[Intro: cheeky, half spoken]
(Plus-plus-plus one)
(Plus-plus-plus one)

[Verse 1: deadpan, talk-sung, minimal beat]
Invitation says "and guest," I'm bringing me
Rented a suit, it's tighter than it needs to be
Your aunt's gonna ask, your cousin's gonna stare
I'll be at the open bar, not a single care

[Pre-Chorus: building, cuts off at the end]
Everybody's got a hand to hold
I've got two free hands and a heart of gold
And I came here to dance, so somebody move the

[Chorus: big, full groove, chanted backing vocals]
Plus one, I'm the plus one
I'm the date, I'm the guest, I'm the whole damn fun
Don't need a hand, I've got two of my own
Baby, I'm the party and I came alone
(Hey!) I'm the plus one

[Post-Chorus: chanted, beat keeps going]
(Plus-plus-plus one) came alone
(Plus-plus-plus one) I'm the show
Plus one (yeah, yeah)
I'm the whole damn fun

[Instrumental: 4 bars, beat and bass only]

[Verse 2: deadpan, talk-sung, minimal beat]
Caught the bouquet, threw it back, no thank you
Danced with the groom's dad, he said "you're something"
Every couple at the table's fighting quietly
And I'm on my third slice, living freely

[Pre-Chorus: building, cuts off at the end]
Everybody's got a hand to hold
I've got two free hands and a heart of gold
And I came here to dance, so somebody move the

[Post-Chorus: chanted, beat keeps going]
(Plus-plus-plus one) came alone
(Plus-plus-plus one) I'm the show
Plus one (yeah, yeah)
I'm the whole damn fun

[Instrumental Break: 8 bars, synth stabs over full groove, no vocals]

[Bridge: stripped to bass and claps, then building]
And if somebody catches my eye
Well, that's a plus two, that's a plus two
But I'm not waiting on anyone tonight

[Final Chorus: biggest, full harmonies, ad-libs]
Plus one, I'm the plus one
I'm the date, I'm the guest, I'm the whole damn fun
Don't need a hand, I've got two of my own
Baby, I'm the party and I came alone
(Hey!) I'm the plus one

[Outro: vocals thinning out]
(Plus-plus-plus one)
I came alone, and I'm the show

[Instrumental Outro: 8 bars, drums only, no vocals, no fade]
