<Both>    We've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common

<Keely>   My darling, at all

<Keely>   I love the opera, I detest the best pop

<Frank>  Can't stand the opera, I like music that bops

<Keely>  We're not fated, not heaven-created

<Frank>  We're really mis-mated, our chances are small

<Both>    Let's part, be real smart and not start with this romance

<Keely>   'cause outside of both having stars in our eyes

<Frank>  And outside of sighing the same kind of sighs

<Both>    We've got nothin' in common at all

 

<instrumental>

 

<Both>    We've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common

<Frank>   It never could last

<Frank>   I love Picasso, he's all style and he's all flair

<Keely>   I've seen Picasso and I think he's a square

<Keely>    Our two  goals are apart as the poles are

<Frank>    As lovers our roles are completely miscast

<Both>    Let's make a clean break and not take any chances

<Frank>  'cause outside of thinking you're something divine

<Keely>   And outside of wanting your lips close to mine

<Both>    We've got nothin' in common

<Both>    We've got nothin' in common at all

 

SPOKEN by Frank:  "Waiter, separate checks."
