Lyrics Crazy Ex–Girlfriend Cast – The Cringe

CASTLEMAN:
Some people are scared of goblins and ghosts
They shriek at a raven perched on a post
«Oh no!» they cry, «It’s a spooky black cat!»

Like when I asked a woman I hadn’t seen in a while
How long she’d been pregnant, and there went her smile
Turns out she’d just gained weight. «I’m so sorry,» I said
And when that memory fills me with horror and dread

I do the cringe! Ugggh!
I do the cringe! Ooooh!

HEATHER, PAULA, AND VALENCIA:
More than a twinge

CASTLEMAN:
The thought leaves me aghast
Because nothing is as scary as what lurks in your past

VALENCIA:
Banshees and ghouls can give a good fright

PAULA:
But that’s not what keeps me up at night

HEATHER:
I think about that time in bed with my ex
When I chuckled at his penis during sex

SECURITY GUARD, REBECCA, PAULA, AND VALENCIA:
She does the cringe

HEATHER:
It was a full-blown laugh

CASTLEMAN, REBECCA, PAULA, AND VALENCIA:
She does the cringe

HEATHER:

CASTLEMAN, REBECCA, PAULA, AND VALENCIA:
She does the cringe

HEATHER:
He went soft and cried

MR. TRAPANI:
And that was the night their relationship died!

GARY:
I told a date I lost my wallet so she would pay

SUSAN:
I hooked up with the bassist of Sugar Ray

CHRISTOPHER:
I got an angel tattoo on my upper thigh

TARA:
I gave my mother’s eulogy completely high

DEVON:
See, everyone has sins they want to wash away

BENJAMIN:
I came up with the town motto: «Live. Work. Play.»

ALL:
We do the cringe

BENJAMIN:
It was not my best work

ALL:
We do the cringe

BENJAMIN:
In fairness, I was also high

ALL:
We do the cringe

CASTLEMAN:
Regret can be a blast
But nothing is as funky as what lurks in your past
Cringe dance!

ALL:
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Aaaaah!

REBECCA:
We all have skeletons

CASTLEMAN:
Real and metaphorically

CHRISTOPHER:
Wait, aren’t you the guy who murdered me?

REBECCA:
What?

CASTLEMAN:
Nothing!

ALL:
Cringe!
