[REBECCA]

What's a girl to do when she's stuck between men

It's like she's a Barbie with two perfect Kens

But wait, it just occurred to me

Maybe I can solve this with geometry

Yes, smarts can help this sitchywation untangle

So professors: teach me

The math of love triangles

(spoken)

Yay, time for book facts!

[TEACHERS]

A triangle is a polygon

With three edges and three vertices

Take the base times the height, cut that in half

To find the area of the surfaces

[REBECCA]

Uh-huh, I wasn't really listening, but I can see

The center of the triangle is lil' ol' me!

The math of love triangles

Isn't hard to learn

[TEACHERS]

You're not taking in what we're saying

We're a little bit concerned

[REBECCA]

Yes, the math of love triangles

Is as simple as can be

Whichever Tom or Dick I might pick

The center of the triangle is lil' ol' me!

[TEACHERS]

Actually a triangle has multiple centers

This triangle's scalene

[REBECCA]

That's astute

So I need to decide which man's more acute

[TEACHERS]

Here's Pythagoras' Theorem

[REBECCA]

Will this help me choose?

If not I'll be swinging from a hypote-noose

[TEACHERS]

Let's take a look at what this line bisects

[REBECCA]

Is that spelled B-I-S-E-X?

[TEACHERS]

Those are good puns but please pay attention

[REBECCA]

Oh no, professors, am I facing suspension?

Whee, a swing! It's literal suspension!

The math of love triangles

Isn't hard to learn

[TEACHERS]

We're starting to suspect

You don't sincerely want to know about triangles

[REBECCA]

Yes, the math of love triangles

Is as simple as can be

I need to choose between men, but until then

The center of the triangle is lil' ol' me

Is this a triangle?

[TEACHERS]

No, that's a shoe

[REBECCA]

Is this a triangle?

[TEACHERS]

No, that's you

[REBECCA]

So I'm a triangle?

[TEACHERS]

What? No

[REBECCA]

One, two, three, six, eight, three, go!

[MATT, spoken]

You don't seem to know how to count

[SCOTT, spoken]

We are sincerely worried about you

[REBECCA]

Catch me!

[JEFF, spoken]

You're ruining the number!

[TEACHERS]

This angle's right

[REBECCA]

Which angle's right?

[TEACHERS]

No, not right like correct

[REBECCA]

Ooh, are you erect?

[TEACHERS]

No, 90 degrees

[REBECCA]

That's really erect!

The math of love triangles

Is super duper fun

[TEACHERS]

We're tired of all your tangents

That's also a triangle pun

[REBECCA]

Ooh, thanks for teaching me man math!

You all deserve a kiss

[TEACHERS]

Lady, we're all gay

We get nothing out of this

[REBECCA]

Neither man will notice

My learning disability

'Cause the center of the triangle

Is lil' old

Sexy little baby

Me!
