HE'S NOT THE ONE

(Trio - Jamie, Sara, Austin, written for the aborted version of Park)
lyrics by Tom Lehrer
(no music written)

J: He's not the one
S: I think he is
J: I think he's not
S: But this is the day, and this is the time, and this is the spot
J: If he's the one, then why did he give me that line?
S: Something is fishy,
I just wish he
Would give us some kind of a sign
J: He's not the one
S: I bet he is
J: I bet he's not
Whatever became of his limp?
S: I guess he forgot
J: He was supposed to be wearing a hat
S: I don't remember them telling us that
J : But could he really have killed seven guys?
S: Sure, did you get a good look at those eyes?
J: And the suit was supposed to be green
Gabardine --
And clean
S: He is the one
J: There's only one way to be sure
S: You mean......
J: I do
S: Well?
J: No, you
[S goes over to A]
S: [spoken] Will the ostrich dance with the porcupine?
A : [spoken, hesistantly] Only if he is sufficiently --- tight.
[S goes back to J]
S: [spoken] Did you hear that?
J: He's not the one
S: Oh yes, he is
J: Oh no, he's not
S: We have to be sure, because if we're wrong, we're gonna get shot
