Lily:
You creep
Into my heart
And make my heart burn

Barry:
You sneak
Into my mind
And make my head ache

Both:
There are things I long to tell you

Lily:
You're much too blonde

Barry:
You snore

Both:
Look
It's time to face the music

Barry:
Bye bye

Lily:
Don't slam the door
And I don't want

Barry:
I don't want

Lily:
I don't want

Barry:
I don't want

Both:
No, I don't want your flowers anymore

This is the last duet
Last chance you're gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me

This is the final song
And when the music's through
This is the last duet
I'll ever do with you

Barry:
You're not the one that I want
Ooh ooh ooh
Tood-le-oo (Honey)

Lily:
Don't go breakin' my back
Don't call me
I'll call you

Both:
Back together
Reunited
Should feel so good
They say
So I hope there's no hard feelings

Barry:
Don't go 'way mad

Lily:
Just go 'way

Both:
'Cause
Enough
Is enough
Is enough
Is enough
Too much too little too late

Lily:
Tonight

Barry:
Tonight

Both:
With you I'm bored again

This is the last duet
Last chance you're gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me

This is the final song
And when the music's through
This is the last duet
I'll ever do with you

Both:
This is the last duet
Last chance you're gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me

This is the final song
And when the music's through
This is the last duet
I'll ever do
I'll ever do
I'll never never never never never do
With you
