Broadway revival (2014) Side Show the Musical - One Plus One Equals Three Lyrics
Buddy: I never sought the spotlight I stayed behind the scenes But then I met a sweetheart Who changed my old routines She put me in the spotlight Now I'm a happy pup And when I count my blessings I find they all add up to One plus one equals three My baby, her sister and me This is not what I expected But my baby is well-connected You can see why I elected This arithmetic with an odd key Where one plus one equals three Some guys wonder how it'll work Some women titter and smirk All their questions will be resolved I've got the problem solved 'Cause one plus one One plus one One plus one
Daisy & Violet: We've always been a duo

The song ends, and everyone gets ready to leave...
Violet: Buddy, you're a wonderful performer You've become the star I knew you'd be
Buddy: You give me confidence out there
Violet: You get so nervous before the show You remind me of me
Terry: Good work, everyone! Now I am expecting a phone call up in the office And then I'm taking us all to dinner.
Buddy: I'll come with you.
Buddy and Terry leave...
Violet: Before long you'll be getting married, And I'll be the bridesmaid.
Daisy: Don't hold your breath. I'm not feeling well, I want to go home.
Violet: Anything I can do?
Daisy: I don't think so.
Violet: Jake, could you tell Terry and Buddy to go ahead without us? We'll wait here for you.
Jake goes to tell Terry and Buddy, but overhears their conversation...
Buddy: I need to talk to you.
Terry: Is something wrong?
Buddy: I'm worried about Daisy The questions people ask She's bound to feel left out
Terry: She's getting more attention then ever
Buddy: But Violet's the focus
Terry: They're used to sharing
Buddy: But how about that double wedding?
Terry: Will you stop with that? I could never marry a Siamese twin
Buddy: I don't see her as a Siamese twin I got over that long ago
Terry: You're a better man than I
Buddy: Now I'm making her dream come true And that makes me happy
Terry: Not to mention famous
Buddy: An unexpected benefit Which I admit, I really like
Terry: You know, she really loves you
Buddy: And I love her
Terry: Is it love Or pity? Whatever your reason for proposing, There is a lot riding on this wedding. And nothing's gonna stop it. Not Daisy, not Violet, not you.
Buddy: This is my chance to do something important To be remembered To make a big splash
Terry: Then I'm depending on you to keep this on track Keep playing your part Keep Violet content Keep the happy couple happy
Buddy: That's not a problem But Daisy could be
Terry: I'll take care of her
Buddy: On the honeymoon?
Terry leaves...
Buddy: You act like you know what's behind every door I only hope that I'm not getting more Than I bargained for
Daisy and Violet wait for Jake to return...
Violet: Oh, Daisy, how can I make this easier for you?
Daisy: You can't I can barely get through the songs How will I get through your wedding? Or honeymoon?
Violet: You will close a door inside
Daisy: I can't When Buddy holds your hand I tingle all over When he pecks you on the cheek I feel it on mine
Violet: We have always learned to adjust We can learn
Daisy: You're the bride You'll be preoccupied
Violet: If I were you
Daisy: You're not
Violet: You're just jealous
Daisy: Of course I am
Jake enters...
Jake: There's nothing to be jealous about
Violet: What do you mean?
Jake: Don't go through with this wedding
Violet: Jake, what's gotten into you?
Jake: I feel things I know things
Violet: So do I Buddy will make me happy
