Verse 1 (Rena):
Sugar-coated dreams in a golden glaze,
Waiting on that call, lost in a haze.
Melanie, oh girl, let’s grab a bite,
Distractions come easy when your future's not bright.
Chorus (Rena and Melanie):
A simple carb, oh what a thrill,
Doughnuts and pastries, we can’t get our fill.
Guilt on our shoulders but joy in our hearts,
Stress-eating saviors, we’ll play our parts.
Verse 2 (Melanie):
Pasta and cheese, they know my name,
Slicing through tension like a sweet, sweet flame.
Pizza slices whisper a comforting tune,
Craving indulgence under the light of the moon.
Chorus (Rena and Melanie):
A simple carb, oh what a thrill,
Cookies and brownies, the ultimate skill.
Guilt on our shoulders but joy in our hearts,
Stress-eating saviors, we’ll play our parts.
Bridge (Rena):
Oh the calories count, but so does the love,
These carbs are our comfort, gifts from above.
(Melanie)
Let’s drown our worries in buttercream bliss,
A little more frosting, we can’t resist!
Chorus (Rena and Melanie):
A simple carb, it's more than a bite,
Together we nibble through the anxiety's fight.
Guilt on our shoulders but joy in our hearts,
Stress-eating saviors, we’ll play our parts.
Outro (Both):
So bring on the pastries, we won’t turn away,
Rena and Melanie, we’re here to stay.
As long as we’re together, it’s always a win,
In the world of carbs, let the feast begin!

A musical theater song that sounds very burlesque (similar to the style of Lady Marmalade or Show Me How You Burlesque) sung by two best friends, Rena and Melanie, who are anxiously waiting for a phone call that will hopefully give them good news that will change Rena’s life. The women are anxious, stressed, and they indulge in stress-eating. The song song should reflect how good it feels to be gluttonous and stress-eat, but also how guilty they feel doing it. The song is called “A Simple Carb.”
