about

He thinks they could do great things working together, but she would prefer to work by herself. They're the greatest team that never was.

lyrics

You’ve got that spark in your big blue eyes
Every time you’ve got a new idea and you hypothesize
And when you make – a brand new breakthrough
Well you get so darn excited that your glasses go askew

But I wish you’d work with me, too

Oh CC you’re such a brainy genius
Believe me if everyone could see us
You and me, we could be
The greatest team the world has seen
But CC you say you’d rather work alone

Everyday, we could display
How our scientific methods perfectly would sync, we’d be like
Hydrogen and Oxygen – only when they work together can you make a drink

But you seem to feel that I stink

Oh CC you’re such a brainy genius
Believe me if everyone could see us
You and me, we could be
The greatest team the world has seen
But CC you say you’d rather work alone

(Spoken)
Oh CC, don’tcha see?
We could’ve been the greatest scientific
duo the world has ever known!
Don’tcha know two heads are better than one?
We coulda cured the world together!
But you had other plans.

So I guess I’m sailing solo

Oh CC you’re such a brainy genius
Believe me if everyone could see us
You and me, we could be
The greatest team the world has seen
But you’d rather throw it all away
