FIXER UPPER

Kanaya: What’s the issue, John?

Why are you holding back from such a troll?

Is it the stompy way he walks?

Nepeta: Or the grumpy way he talks?

Terezi: Or the pear-shaped, square-shaped

Weirdness of his physique?

Karkat: HEY!

Tavros: Though we know he’s been sleeping

Swell - he always ends up lookin a bit unwell.

John? Dirk? Dave?: But you’ll never meet a fellow who’s as

Nepeta and Tavros: Sensitive and sweet!

So he’s a bit of a nubby freakshow,

So he’s got a few flaws.

Kanaya: Like his peculiar rage spouts,

Sollux: His thing with his other selves.

Kanaya and Sollux: That’s a little outside of nature’s laws!

EVERYONE:  So he’s a bit of a nubby freakshow,

but this we’re certain of

You can fix this nubby freakshow

Up with a little bit of love!

Karkat: Can we please just

Stop talking about this?

We’ve got a real, actual problem here.

Meulin;  I’ll say! So tell me, JOHN

Is it the way that he runs scared?

Karkat: I NEVER-

Sollux: Or that he’s socially impaired?

Karkat: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Nepeta: Or that he always cries over troll Will Smith?

John: I did not need to know that…

Karkat: FUCKIN-

Feferi: Are you holding back your

Fondness due to his weak unnatural blood caste?

Everyone: Or the way he covers

Up that he’s honest and good?

Everyone: He’s just a bit of a nubby freakshow,

He’s got a couple of bugs

His isolation is confirmation

Of his desperation for rom-com love

So he’s a bit of a nubby freakshow,

But we know what to do

The way to fix up this nubby freakshow

Is to fix him up with you!

Karkat: ENOUGH! He is seeing that Lalonde chick, okay!

(beat)

meulin: So he’s a bit of a bucktoothed freakshow,

Tavros: That’s a minor thing.

meulin: his quoted ‘relationship’ can be sunk in a day or week

Nepeta: And by the way I don’t see it on my wall!

Male Trolls: So he’s a bit of a freakshow himself,

His brain’s a bit betwixt.

Get his flush crush out of the way and

The whole thing will be fixed.

Feferi: We’re not sayin’ you can change him,

‘Cause people don’t really change.

We’re only saying that love’s a force

That’s powerful and strange.

Kanaya: People make bad choices if they’re mad,

Or scared, or stressed.

nepeta: Throw a little love their way.

Female Trolls: Throw a little love their way.

Female Trolls: And you’ll bring out their best.

All Trolls: True love brings out their best!

Everyone’s a bit of a freakshow themselves,

That’s what it’s all about!

Feferi: Kismesis!

Nepeta: Moirail!

Kanaya: Matesprit!

EVERYONE: We need each other to raise

Us up and round us out.

Everyone’s a bit of a freakshow themselves,

But when push comes to shove.

Tavros:

The only freakshow fixer

That can fix a nubby freakshow is

EVERYONE:

True! true!

True, true, true!

Love (True love)

Love, love, love, love, love

Love! (True love!)

True…

Meulin: Do you, John, take Karkat to be your purrfect partner?
