Lyrics
[JACK, spoken]

Well, hello again

[KATHERINE, spoken]

Please go away. I'm working

[JACK, spoken]

A smart girl, eh? Beautiful. Smart. Independent

[JACK, sung]

I got no use for moonlight

Or sappy poetry

Love at first sight's for suckers

At least it used to be

Look, girls are nice, once or twice

Till I find someone new

But I never planned on someone like you

[JACK, sung]

I got no use for moonlight

Or sappy poetry

Love at first sight's for suckers

At least it used to be

[JACK, spoken]

Quiet down. There's a show going on

Shh!

[JACK, sung]

No, I never planned on someone like you	[BOWERY BEAUTIES]

Don't come a-knocking on my door

You aren't welcome here no more

I should have known you

Stunk like yesterday's trash

The night you stole my heart

Plus forty dollars in cash

Turns out my beau is just some bum

Turns out that love ain't blind, its dumb

You never told the truth or

Worked a day in your life

In fact, you're so revoltin'

I feel bad for your wife

I won't be shaving your back

Anymore, no señor

Don't come a-knocking

On my door!

Don't come a-knocking

On my door!

Don't come a-knocking

On my door!

[KATHERINE, spoken]

What are you doing?

You are the most impossible boy...

Ever
