Change the genders around if you like!
①
WOMAN: I wonder why he lags behind,
just a little bit, sorta echoey?
MAN: I wonder why I lag behind,
just a little bit, sorta echoey?
W: I wonder if he knows he's doing it!
It's beginning to drive me crazy!
M: I wonder if she knows I'm doing it!
I must be crazy!
(woman's part changes, words only)
②
W: I wonder why he lags behind,
just a little bit, sorta echoey?
I can't believe he honestly doesn't know!
It really makes me crazy!
③
W: I wonder why he lags behind,
just a little bit, sorta echoey?
I'll bet he's doing it on purpose,
'cuz he knows it makes me crazy!
④
W: I wonder why he lags behind,
just a little bit, sorta echoey?
I'll just ignore him! That'll serve him right!
He can't make this kid crazy!
(5)
W: I wonder why he lags behind,
just a little bit, sorta echoey?
I wonder if he knows he's doing it...
(ends only half way through -- sincere question!)
