From the recording MATCH: THE MUSICAL
Calliope is trying hard to teach Teddy how to do the dating apps and how to deal with his dates since he hasn't dated in fifty years he needs coaching.

From MATCH: The Musical sung by Calliope, Teddy, and The Cherubs
(Verse 1)
You gotta learn it (real tight)
Then you gotta earn it (all right)
In your mind you burn it (insight)
Until it’s in your bag
You can’t be lazy (All fight)
Your head can’t be hazy (be bright)
Sometimes you get crazy (outright)
But then it’s in the bag
(B-Verse: Female Vocal)
There are no reasons why
you can’t get this done
There are no chosen ones
Just keep the whole thing fun
and never ever quit boy
(Chorus: Female Vocal)
Come and take me by the hand
[Horns - Bop da de de da da ]
I will help you understand
Once you get it down boy
you got it down boy
you don’t lose
Once you get it down boy,
you got it down boy
It’s in the bag
[Horns, big band feel, and dancing]
(Verse 2) [Male Vocal]
I gotta feel it (inside)
Smile and deal with it (don’t hide)
Be real and seal it (sharp eyed)
Until it’s in the bag
Gotta be smooth now (soft glide)
Ain’t nothing to lose now (upside)
Nothin’ to prove now (your fine)
Until it’s in the bag
(B-Verse 2)
And all those famous folk in history
They solved no mysteries
It all came naturally
Once they got it down boy
(Now Calliope comes back in holding out her hand)
Yeah!!!
Come and take me by the hand
[Horns - Bop da de de da da ]
I will help you understand
Once you get down boy, you got it down boy you don’t lose
Once you get down boy, you got it down boy
[finger snaps]
It’s in the bag (do do do do do)
It’s in the bag (do do do do do)
It's in the bag [smooth close]
