Not That Kind Of Thing

Lyrics

[CLERK, spoken] Now, kids, couples always argue when they come here to register My advice is, be very careful... (sung) It's a tricky situation First fight I've seen couples face disaster Why not tell yourselves you're both wrong Both right It means that you'll make up faster [ROBBIE] I hate to tell you but we're not with each other We're sister and brother [JULIA] And he's the slow one [ROBBIE] She's an idiot according to mother [JULIA] It takes one to know one [ROBBIE & JULIA] Tell the night To save its moonlight Tell the birds Not to sing Tell the stars In the heavens they've been misaligned 'Cause it's not that kind of thing [CRYSTAL, spoken] Look, a sale on towels! Hold my purse for me [MOOKIE, spoken] Baby, please. No [CRYSTAL, spoken] I said hold it! [She holds out her purse. He takes it sheepishly.] [Julia holds out her purse.] [JULIA, spoken] Um, Robbie? Hold my purse? [ROBBIE, spoken] No [JULIA, spoken] (imitating CRYSTAL) I said hold it! [ROBBIE sheepishly takes JULIA's purse. CRYSTAL gives her the "thumbs up" and nods.] [CRYSTAL] (to JULIA) You get stuck with them for better [JULIA] Or worse [JULIA & CRYSTAL] No matter which way you stack it [ROBBIE & MOOKIE] It's emasculating holding a purse [ROBBIE] And it doesn't match my jacket (to JULIA) Your evil scheme has worked out just as you planned it I now understand it [JULIA] I shop, you carry [ROBBIE] I do the work and you make out like a bandit [JULIA] It's true [ROBBIE] No, it's scary [JULIA, spoken] No you're scary! [ROBBIE, spoken] You're scary! [He tries to dance, other COUPLES appear.] [ALL] Tell the night To save its moonlight Tell the birds Not to sing Tell the stars in the heavens they've been misaligned [ROBBIE & JULIA] 'Cause it's not that kind of thing [ROBBIE] True, there are times When her eyes meet mine and linger there Maybe a bit too long [JULIA] And I wonder Is there something hidden in his stare [ROBBIE & JULIA] No, I couldn't be more wrong [The set shifts to the bridal salon section of the store. Everyone sings as dresses pas ROBBIE and JULIA and they evaluate them.] [ALL] Tell the night To save its moonlight Tell the birds Not to sing Tell the stars in the heavens they've been misaligned 'Cause it's not that kind No, it's not that kind No, it's not that kind of thing... [JULIA, spoken] Oh my God! Robbie, that's the dress. That's the dress I was meant to get married in! You think I'll look alright? [ROBBIE, spoken] You'll look beautiful
