The song is written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss.
OLIVER: (spoken) So, tell me, what actually happened?
NANCY: (spoken) So I matched with this guy on Hinge We start chatting and suddenly I'm like, "Oh shit, I recognise that company name That's where The Ex works
OLIVER: (spoken) And just to confirm, this is 'The Ex'?
NANCY: (spoken) 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: (spoken) Yeah, like obviously
NANCY: (spoken) Yeah cause like, What could possibly go wrong?
OLIVER: (spoken) Well?
NANCY: So it's like any other date
OLIVER: So you're charming and you're grеat
NANCY: Yes, I've hidden all my flaws, But strap in Bеcause 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: (spoken) Okay, let's stop this moping And go out on the town
NANCY: (spoken) No, I'm too sad and alone
OLIVER: (spoken) Come on, we'll paint it red baby Redder than your puffy eyes
NANCY: (spoken) Great, thanks for that
OLIVER: (spoken) Ooh I know, Let's go away together again On another writing retreat Bash out the musical we've got to do
NANCY: (spoken) 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: (spoken) Oh my God, come on No, no, no, no, shut up, It'll be so fun Remember last time?
(sung) We got that little countryside Airbnb I'd make you breakfast at the AGA
NANCY: (spoken) 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: (spoken) Wait, what?
OLIVER: Actually wow, hearing that now Makes it sound like I'm some rejectee
NANCY: (spoken) But no, that's me
OLIVER: (spoken) Yeah, cause
(sung) 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: (spoken) Rawr! Like the jungle cat
NANCY: Thanks, we get it
OLIVER: Shall we duet it?
NANCY: (spoken) Sure
NANCY & OLIVER: I know I'm a fucking 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: (spoken) 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 fucking hell is going on? (What the fuck 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: (spoken) 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: (spoken) 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!
(spoken) Yeah, maybe this is why actually
NANCY: (spoken) Yeah, probably, yeah
