WATCH OUT FOR MR. WONDERFUL - ORIGINAL SONG

THE TIP-OFF ANTHEM

[Verse 1]

He mows the lawns, helps paint fences

Sends hearts and birthday wishes

Fixes Janet’s squeaky gate

But my lightbulb’s out three weeks straight

And ask him to rinse his bowl?

You’d think I asked to sell his soul

Mr. Wonderful? Maybe to you

But I’ve seen what he doesn’t do

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, he’s the king of first impressions

But babe—don’t skip this lesson

[Chorus 1]

Watch out for Mr. Wonderful

He’ll act so sweet and dutiful

Your friendly neighborhood miracle

But he’s the promo reel, not the show

Pulls a Houdini when things get close

So skip the ticket and save that glow

And pass on

Mr. Wonderful

[Verse 2]

He holds the door, he tips his hat

Feeds stray dogs and chats with cats

He volunteers to stack the chairs

But once you’re his? He disappears

If I ask for help with groceries

He’ll fake a fever—two hundred degrees

He’ll quickly pop your fantasies

He’s a postcard full of make-believe

[Pre-Chorus]

He’ll light your smoke, sparks quick affection

But heed this tune for your own protection

[Chorus 2]

Beware of Mr. Wonderful

Public persona is almost biblical

He charms the world, but he’s fictional

Romantic ’til he’s comfortable

Mr. Jekyll, then Hyde in the vestibule

Socially slick, but privately awful

So click those heels and send him home

Don’t land on

Mr. Wonderful

[Bridge]

This message was brought to you by experience

Mr. Wonderful—professional illusionist

If he’s too good to be true—he likely is

You’ll see past the glitz once the door hits

He’s like cola without the fizz

or tonic without the gin

Take it from someone who fell for it-

Look out for

Mr. Bait-and-Switch

[Pre-chorus]

Check the signs girl, I’m your proof

He’ll be nice to everyone but you

[Chorus 3]

So watch out for Mr. Wonderful

Puts on the charm like a festival

mirrors and smoke, nothing truthful

VIP and he’s unavailable

Golden polish, so theatrical

Girl, he’s all applause and no soul

He’s a velvet rope to the Nowhere Show

So skip out on

Mr. Wonderful

Take a final bow, it’s time to go

Say one last no to

Mr. Wonderful

[Outro]

Ten out of ten—

I wouldn’t recommend

A full-time flirt,

a part-time man

Take this as your PSA:

If he’s that kind of nice,

girl, don’t think twice—

just run away.
