That Kind of Song by The Nostalgia Critic Lyrics
(Elisa:) It's weird
We're so used to hearing that kind of song
(Paw:) And, yet, when you think about it logically
It's so obviously wrong
(Elisa:) In real life, it can take so much time just to find a good guy
(Paw:) In real life, it can be really hard just to tell someone... "Hi..."
(Elisa:) But in a musical, courtships don't take long
(Paw:) Because in a musical, who cares about logic
When people can break into song?
(Elisa:) Right...
(Paw:) Right...
[Both sigh]
(Elisa:) In real life, there's no guy who could capture my heart with one glance
(Paw:) In real life, how could one chance encounter lead straight to romance?
(Elisa/ Paw:) Wouldn't that be stupid?
Wouldn't that be lame?
(Elisa:) A hasty hello
(Paw:) And they're ready to go
(Elisa/ Paw:) Pick their first baby's name
(Paw:) Paul Junior
(Elisa:) Vlad
(Elisa/ Paw:) What if we were in that kind of song?
We'd look like a pair of fools
[Video-only line:]
(Puppeteer, Kermit the Frog voice:) So I hear you guys are in love... Why aren't you saying anything?
(Elisa/ Paw:) Looking into each other's eyes
Reflecting like radiant, wonderful, beautiful, wonderful pools
(Elisa:) You'd be a dashing young hero
(Paw:) And you'd be the intriguing ingenue
(Elisa/ Paw:) In a way, you have to love that kind of song
(Elisa/ Paw:) 'Cos that's how I feel about yooooouuuuu
We're so used to hearing that kind of song
(Paw:) And, yet, when you think about it logically
It's so obviously wrong
(Elisa:) In real life, it can take so much time just to find a good guy

(Elisa:) But in a musical, courtships don't take long
