about

I usually intro this one, live, with "This is that one coworker. You know the one."

lyrics

Some Like it Hot

Some like it hot
Whoa, some like it hot
If there’s no drama, they ask “Why not?”
Some like it hot

v.1
Are you down, or having a bad day?
They will think of more reasons why
It’s all your fault—you’re not worth your salt
It’s their mission to make you sigh

Did you just have a fight with your best friend?
They will pick sides, and give bad advice
That you better not take, or that friendship will break
But this instigator won’t think twice. . .

CHORUS:
Some like it hot
Whoa, some like it hot
If there’s no drama, they ask “Why not?”
Some like it hot

v.2
Do you have a friendship that’s precious?
Don’t let this troublemaker know
They’ll invent some affair—because they don’t care--
To tarnish what you value so.

If there’s a conflict they fan the flames
They want to see it burn higher
If you do your bit to resolve it
You’ll be the next one in the fire!

CHORUS:
Some like it hot
Whoa, some like it hot
If there’s no drama, they ask “Why not?”
Some like it hot

Ooooh, some like it hot
Yeah, they like it hot
Always lookin’ to stir the pot, well
Some like it hot.

v.3
They love to repeat a rumor
Share some juicy gossip or news
If it’s damaging, then they’re managing
They want to see the situation get worse

Contentiousness, drama, and chaos?
Their work is all done here!
The drama queen’s got a thriving scene
If you don’t like it, steer clear...My dear...

CHORUS:
Some like it hot
Whoa, some like it hot
If there’s no drama, they ask “Why not?”
Some like it hot

Ooooh, some like it hot
Yeah, they like it hot
Always lookin’ to stir the pot, well
Some like it
ooo they like it
yeah they like it hot!
