One Thing (Big Band Version)

One thing
I came out here for one thing
And that little bitty one thing
Was to forget about you

But I guess I've learned something
That there's never really one thing
Cause pretty quickly one thing evolves into two or three or more

For example
See the light in the hallway
It was always flickering
Ever since I was little it was always flickering
After three days here, it was unbearable
My list grew
Two, fix the light bulb
And one, forget about you-ou-ou-oh

Drove to town
Bought a bulb
One of those new L.E.D.'s
Brought it home, Put it in
But the wires weren't connecting
Suddenly they were on the fritz
My list grew
Three, rewire the ceiling
Two, fix the light bulb
And one, forget about you-ou-ou-oh

So I went
To the attic
And to my utmost delight
There it is
Black mold
Killing us slowly each night
And I feel it's my duty to remove it
My list grew
Four, kill the black mold
Three, rewire the ceiling
Two, fix the light bulb
And one, forget about you-ou-ou-oh

Yeah but my one thing is really- I'm not done (just ugh)
See the tarp in the hallway
That used to be a gallary wall
Lots of picturtes
Super classy
Sad I had to make the call
But
In scouring for mold I had to take the place apart
Because sometimes to solve a probelm
You follow it back to the start

Oh, whos that?
No one IT JUST DOES THAT WHEN IT RAINS haha
When I tried
To rebuild
The wall
That I'd taken down
I discovered two holes
Burrowed right in the ground
And I didn't have the heart to kill them, So my list grew

But then
The cement that I found
To fill in the gaping holes
Wasn't good
It didnt stick
Appenently cement can get old?
In trying to fix one thing
I made everything worse

My list grew
Nine, buy new cement
Eight, take care of this duck I found!
Seven, clean out the pipes for the bathrrom and the kitchen
Six, rebuild out the wall
Five, keep out the pests
Four, kill the black mold
Three, rewire the ceiling
Two, fix the light bulb
And one, forget about you-ou-ou-oh

I think it's lovely
To see you fix up this old house
Because you want it to be
Nice for your family
But I think you maybe you're obssesing
Over things you can't control
Hoping to control-ol-ol-ol
Your feelings for

So you came here
Looking for one thing
And youre saying that one thing
Was to forget about me
Well all I'm asking
Is for you to do the first thing
Which could also be the last thing
That you do with me

After tonight you'll never hear from me again, if that's what you want
Everything we need to fix our marrige is in this envelope
I'm asking for one chance

We'll do this one thing
It is the first thing
We're doing togetther since
You left without saying a word
(I found out you were not who I thought you were)
We'll do this one thing
It could be the last thing
