I'll Never Tell
(vocals by emma caulfield and nicholas brendon)

Anya This is the man that I intend to entangle
Isn't he fine?
My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle
Vengeance was mine!

But I'm out of the biz
The name I made, I'll trade for his
The only trouble is
I'll never tell.

Xander
She is the one
She's such wonderful fun
Such passion and grace
Warm in the night when I'm right in her tight-
Embrace! Tight embrace!

I'll never let her go
The love we've known can only grow
There's just one thing that
No. I'll never tell.

Anya and Xander
Cause there's nothing to tell.

Anya: He snores
Xander:She wheezes
Anya: Say "housework" and he freezes
Xander:She eats these skeezy cheeses that I can't describe
Anya: I talk; he breezes
Xander: She doesn't know what "please" is
Anya: His penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe!

Anya and Xander
The vibe gets kind of scary

Xander: Like, she thinks I'm ordinary
Anya: Like, it's all just temporary
Xander: Like, her toes are kind of hairy

Anya and Xander
But it's all very well
Cause, God knows, I'll never tell!

Anya
When things get rough, he
Just hides behind his Buffy!
Now look, he's getting huffy
Cause he knows that I know.

Xander
She clings
She's needy
She's also really greedy
She nev

Anya
His eyes are beady!

Xander
This is my verse, hello?
She-

Anya (Spoken)
Hey, look at me! I'm dancing crazy!

Anya and Xander
You know

Xander: You're quite the charmer
Anya: My knight in armor

Xander
You're the cutest of the Scoobies
With your lips as red as rubies
And your firm, yet supple...
Tight embrace!

Anya: He's swell
Xander: She's sweller
Anya: He'll always be my feller
Xander: That's why I'll never tell her that I'm petrified

Anya
I've read this tale
There's wedding, then betrayal
And I know there'll come the day I'll want to run and hide

Anya and Xander
I've lied
I've said it's easy
I've tried
But there's these fears I can't quell

Xander: Is she looking for a pot of gold
Anya: Will I look good when I've gotten old?

Xander: Will our lives become too stressful if I'm never that successful?
Anya: Will I get so worn and wrinkly that I look like David Brinkley?
Xander: Am I crazy?
Anya: Am I dreamin'?
Xander: Am I marrying a demon?

Anya and Xander
We can really raise the beam in making marriage a hell!
So, thank God, I'll never tell!
I swear, that I'll never tell

Xander
My lips are sealed Anya
I take the Fifth Xander
Nothing to see
Move it along

Anya and Xander
I'll never tell!
