FLOTSAM(spoken) She may have legs, but her love affair doesn't!
JESTAM(spoken) I didn't feel any sparks, did you?
FLOTSAM(spoken) [laughs] No electricity whatsoever!
JESTSAM(spoken) What's the poor sweet child to do?
FLOTSAMIt's such a shame
JETSAMIt's such a crime
FLOTSAMTo be so close
JETSAMand yet so far
FLOTSAMSo overdue
JETSAMyet under-par
FLOTSAMSo out of time
JETSAMIt's too sublime
BOTHSweet Child!
JETSAMPoor child
FLOTSAMAnd now her second sun has set!
JETSAMDear child!
FLOTSAMLost child!
JETSAMThere's still some hope-
FLOTSAMYa wanna bet?
JETSAMNo.
FLOTSAMOne more day to get her lovepeck
JETSAMOne more day to snag her man
BOTHAnd then the squid will hit the fan
