Work Text:

There’s candlelight and moonlight all around us

You’re looking in her eyes

You hold his hand underneath the table

And I can’t disguise the way I feel:

 

I’m flattered by your invitations

But tonight, I‘ve had enough

‘Cause it's always you and her, and him and you

Just two, plus your friend Gus

 

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, Gus

Do-do-do-do-do-do, it’s nuts

How you always rope me in

To all your weekly date nights

 

You took us to a garden and a soccer game

Which I thought was pretty cool.

But when I caught you linking pinkies on that beach

I belatedly realized I’d been a fool

 

I would just leave you an illusion

To get out of your hair

But there’s just one tiny problem;

You know when I’m not there

 

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, please

Do-do-do-do, just let me leave

I don’t wanna be wheel three

In all your lovely date nights

 

It's not that I don't like you both

But you two are totally better alone, together

You can make things pretty great

So I’ll leave you two

I’ll leave you to

Get on with your date

 

You say my presence matters, and I’m truly flattered

Though I think you’ll be alright;

You can hang without me for an hour or three

But try to drag me back, and I will put up a fight

 

Look, you’re a great couple of witches

And I like to be with you

But if it's always you and you, and your friend Gus

I don’t know what I’ll-

 

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, Gus

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Why don’t you just go be with your partner?

No need for…

Gus

I have a worrying amount of free time.
