You Just Ain't My Type

“SEXY HALLWAY” (Lyrics Below)
MUSIC AND LYRICS BY JOEL B. NEW
PERFORMED BY KC COMEAUX, ELISE HEARDEN, JESSE PALMER

WOMAN 1: 
I, I FELT SO SAD IT MADE ME WANT TO CRY, CRY
WHEN I FIRST FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO WIFI.
CAN’T WATCH “HOUSE OF CARDS” TONIGHT.

WOMAN 2:
(KEVIN SPACEY…)

WOMAN 1:
TONIGHT.
READY FOR A NIGHT SO SENSUAL AND SWEATY.
I’M AS FLEXIBLE AS COOKED SPAGHETTI
THAT’S BEEN ON THE STOVE ALL NIGHT.

WOMAN 2:
(THAT’S DANGEROUS…)

WOMAN 1:
ALL NIGHT.
DROVE TO THIS CHEAP HOTEL.
IS HE EVER GONNA SHOW?
BOOTY TEXTED HOURS AGO.
I’M THINKIN’ MIGHT AS WELL
STEP OUT INTO...
THIS SEXY HALLWAY.
THIS SEXY HALLWAY.

WOMAN 2:
QUIET! THIS HALLWAY IS TAKEN, CAN’T DENY IT.
GO BACK IN YOUR ROOM, DON’T EVEN TRY IT.
I AM STAYIN’ HERE ALL NIGHT.

WOMAN 1:
ALL NIGHT?

WOMAN2:
ALL NIGHT.
LATER. SHOULDA GOT HERE FIRST. DON’T BE A HATER.
TRY ANOTHER FLOOR. THE ELEVATOR:
IT’S UNDER REPAIR TONIGHT.

WOMAN 1:
BUT I HATE STAIRS.

WOMAN 2:
TONIGHT.

BOTH:
DROVE TO THIS CHEAP HOTEL.
IS HE EVER GONNA SHOW?
BOOTY TEXTED HOURS AGO.
I’M THINKIN’ MIGHT AS WELL
STEP OUT INTO...
THIS SEXY HALLWAY.
THIS SEXY HALLWAY.
PRESS MYSELF AGAINST THE WALL.
THIS RIGHT HERE’S WHAT I WOULD CALL
A SEXY HALLWAY.

FAKE BRITISH RAPPER: 
IN EVERY MUSIC VIDEO,
THERE’S A GIRL SO FINE FROM HEAD TO TOE.
AND FROM WHAT I’VE SEEN SHE’S ALWAYS
DANCIN’ ALONE IN HALLWAYS.
IS THIS A TREND OR A DIRECTOR’S CUE?
OR SOMETHING THESE GIRLS REALLY LIKE TO DO?
IS IT A WEIRD COINCIDENCE?
THESE HALLWAYS JUST DON’T MAKE NO SENSE!
CAN’T CONVINCE ME I’M BEIN’ CRAZY.
IN ALL HONESTY, I THINK IT’S LAZY.
OR MAYBE BUDGETS HAVE GOT SO SMALL
THE MOST AFFORDABLE SET IS A NARROW HALL.
NOT MUCH DECOR.
BACK LIGHTING GALORE.
FIND SOME INSPIRATION
IN ANOTHER LOCATION.
I STILL LOVE YOU, MISS BRITNEY SPEARS.
EVEN WHEN YOU SHAVED YOUR HEAD AND KINDA SNAPPED.
TRUST YOU’RE STILL FIERCE,
EVEN IF YOU’RE TRAPPED IN A SEXY HALLWAY.

BOTH:
DROVE TO THIS CHEAP HOTEL.
IS HE EVER GONNA SHOW?
BOOTY TEXTED HOURS AGO.
I’M THINKIN’ MIGHT AS WELL
STEP OUT INTO...
THIS SEXY HALLWAY.
THIS SEXY HALLWAY.
PRESS MYSELF AGAINST THE WALL.
THIS RIGHT HERE’S WHAT I WOULD CALL
A SEXY HALLWAY.
