Robin made his way to Acapulco and found Sam by the ocean.

"Sam!" he called.

"Robin?" said Sam.

"Yes, ma'am; that's me" said Robin.

"What are you doing here?" said Sam.

"By this time, you're aware of the incident that's affecting Jill's wedding?" said Robin.

"Yeah, Calvin called me earlier"

"Does she know?"

"No. And the best way I can think of to keep it that way is to not put on my Warrior uniform" said Sam.

"But I came to ask for your help" said Robin.

"I know. But did you ever consider that if Jill saw you, she'll suspect something for sure?" said Sam.

"Gosh, Sam, I haven't thought of that" said Robin.

"Never mind. Did you or the guys find any eggs?" said Sam.

"Aside from the one Charles Wallace found in Wiggle Bay, no. The Beatles gave us some of their old Mouse-kee-diddle-doohickeys..." Robin began.

"Mouse-kee-diddle-doohickeys? Oh! You mean Mousketools" said Sam.

"Right right right. The Beatles gave us some of those, but I still think we need a bigger team. And I know I can't find any of those eggs without your brains" said Robin.

"Well, thank you very much, Robin" said Sam modestly.

Jill then skipped along the shore and saw her friend with Robin.

"Aw, snap. Here comes Jill; I think we're pinched" said Sam.

"We're not pinched yet. Let's be singing" said Robin.

"Oh, good idea" said Sam.

Jill stopped to greet Sam.

"Sam, where've you been?" she said.

"Oh, I just needed some air" said Sam.

"And when did you get here, Robin?" said Jill.

"Not too long ago. I figured Sam and I could use some real practice" said Robin.

"Practice? You mean like, for your singing career?" said Jill.

"Yeah. Wanna hear us? A song just for you on your trip" said Sam.

"I'd love to" said Jill.

She sat in an Adirondack chair nearby and let the duo sing for her.

Robin sang lead with Sam singing harmony.

both: Maybe I know that she's been a-cheatin'

Maybe I know

Robin: That she's been untrue (Sam: Ooooooh)

But what can I do?

I hear them whispering when I walk by

"She's gonna break his heart and make him cry"

I know it's me they're talking about (Sam: Ooo-ooh, ooo-ooh)

I bet they all think I'll never find out (Sam: Ooo-ooh, ooo-ooh)

Oh, but 

both: Maybe I know

Robin:That she's been a cheatin' (Sam: ohhh)

both: Maybe I know 

Robin: That she's been untrue (Sam: Ohhh, oooooh)

But what can I do?

My friends are telling me that she's no good

She isn't treating me the way she should 

She really loves me, that's all I can say (Sam: Ooo-ooh, ooo-ooh)

Before my tears fall, I just walk away, oh (Sam: Ooo-ooh, ooo-ooh)

both: Maybe I know

Robin:That she's been a cheatin' (Sam: ohhh)

both: Maybe I know

Robin: That she's been untrue (Sam: Ohhh, oooooh)

But what can I do? Oh-oh, oh-oh

Deep down inside she loves me

Though she may run around (Sam: Ooooh)

Deep down inside she loves me (Sam: Ahhh)

Someday she'll settle down, oh-oh (Sam: Ahhh-ahh)

both: Maybe I know

Robin:That she's been a cheatin' (Sam: ohhh)

Robin: That she's been untrue (Sam: Ohhh, oooooh)

But what can I do?

Robin:That she's been a cheatin' (Sam: ohhh)

both: Maybe I know

Robin: That she's been untrue (Sam: Ohhh, oooooh)

But what can I do? Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Robin:That she's been a cheatin' (Sam: ohhh)

Robin: That she's been untrue (Sam: Ohhh, oooooh)

But what can I do?
