OLIVER：

So tell me what actually happened?

NANCY：

So I matched with this guy on Hinge

We start chatting and suddenly I'm like

"Oh **** I recognise that company name

That's where The Ex works

OLIVER：

And just to confirm this is 'The Ex'?

NANCY：

Yeah 'The Ex'

So I'm like "Ooh do I really want to go

For a drink with someone who may

In fact currently be sharing desk space

With the 'one that got away'?

And I'm like "Yes of course"

OLIVER：

Yeah like obviously

NANCY：

Yeah cause like

What could possibly go wrong?

OLIVER：

Well?

NANCY：

So it's like any other date

OLIVER：

So you're charming and you're great

NANCY：

Yes I've hidden all my flaws

But strap in

Because it's going well

I'm thinking "What the hell?

I'll ask about my ex

What's the worst thing

That could happen?"

OLIVER：

No don't tell me ahh

NANCY/OLIVER：

Yes he's moving out

To Paris with a girlfriend

What?

Which shocked me

So naturally I cried

My date was terrified

And said "Hey let's be friends"

But now I'm pretty sure he's blocked me

NANCY：

What sucks though is I know

The Ex is out there practicing Français

Meanwhile I'm sat here in your flat

Back here with you listening to me say

Why am I so single?

Why am I so alone?

I'm so ready to mingle

I don't get it

Why am I so single?

My bed's more barren

Than the backyard of Kris Kringle

OLIVER：

I don't get it

NANCY：

Just forget it

And I think I'm a decent catch

But every time I find a match

No matter what I do

I end up sitting here sinking

My troubles in a drink

In your flat still thinking

Why am I so single?

OLIVER：

Okay let's stop this moping

And go out on the town

NANCY：

No I'm too sad and alone

OLIVER：

Come on we'll paint it red baby

Redder than your puffy eyes

NANCY：

Great thanks for that

OLIVER：

Ooh I know

Let's go away together again

On another writing retreat

Bash out the musical we've got to do

NANCY：

I'd love to but I've got a very busy schedule

Of weeping to keep up with

So unfortunately I won't be able-

OLIVER：

Oh my God come on

No no no no shut up

It'll be so fun

Remember last time?

We got that little countryside Airbnb

I'd make you breakfast at the AGA

NANCY：

Oh yeah

OLIVER：

And on the night the rain poured

I sat with you and endured

NANCY/OLIVER：

All five feature films in the Twilight Saga

OLIVER：

Jacob showed his torso more

And more and more

So I quietly opened Grindr

But the app was an abyss

So while you stayed to watch them kiss

I went to bed

And had my own happy ending kinda

NANCY：

Wait what?

OLIVER：

Actually wow hearing that now

Makes it sound like I'm some rejectee

NANCY：

But no that's me

OLIVER：

Yeah cause

For that to be true

I would need to

Have had an actual boyfriend

To dump me ha ha ha ha

OLIVER/ENSEMBLE：

Why am I so single?

Why why why why?

Why am I so alone?

I'm so ready to mingle

They're so ready

I don't get it

Why am I so single?

Why why why why?

They say "Go get 'em Tiger"

But I'm no Bengal

OLIVER：

Rawr Like the jungle cat

NANCY：

Thanks we get it

OLIVER：

Shall we duet it?

NANCY：

Sure

NANCY/OLIVER：

I know I'm a ******* ten

But when I'm out there f- dating men

OLIVER：

No matter what I do

NANCY：

No matter what we do

OLIVER：

I end up sitting here sinking

My troubles in a drink

In my flat still thinking

Why am I so single?

NANCY：

So we poured ourselves another glass

Chatted more

But don't worry

We didn't lose our composure at all

OLIVER：

You're so nice

NANCY：

You're so nice

NANCY/OLIVER：

Both of us are just so very nice

And handsome

NANCY：

We are well read

OLIVER：

Good at giving advice

NANCY/OLIVER/ENSEMBLE：

We're sexually healthy

And adequately wealthy

So what the ******* hell is going on?

What the **** is going on?

OLIVER：

Why am I-

NANCY/ENSEMBLE：

Why am I so single?

Why why why why?

I'm trying hard to score

But I'm stuck in goal

I don't get it

OLIVER/ENSEMBLE：

Why am I so single?

Why why why why?

The only thing I'm eating out

Is this tube of Pringles

OLIVER：

He doesn't get it

NANCY/ENSEMBLE：

Why am I so single?

Why why why why?

Anne's off getting laid

But I'm the other Boleyn girl

NANCY：

I never get it

OLIVER/ENSEMBLE：

Why am I so single?

Why?

It's like they're singing

"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi"

But I'm not bilingual

Not bilingual

Je ne comp prom pas

NANCY/OLIVER：

Pourquoi je sui so single

OLIVER：

Oh

Yeah maybe this is why actually

NANCY：

Yeah probably yeah
