[ open on a capella group harmonizing at Home Base ]

A Capella Group: [ singing ]“This may — this may be the last time
Ohhhhhh, maybe.
This may be the last time
This may be the last time
May be the last time
I don’t knowwwwwwww!”

[ camera pans over to the musical guest stage ]

Mick Jagger: [ singing ]“Well, I told you once and I told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
You don’t try very hard to please me
With what you know, it should be easy.

Well, this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don’t know!
Oh no! Oh no!

Well, I’m sorry, girl, but I can’t stay
Feelin’ like I do today
It’s too much pain and too much sorrow
Guess I’ll feel the same tomorrow.

Well, this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don’t know!
Oh no! Oh no!”

[ instrument break ]

“This could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don’t know!
Oh no! Oh no!

Well, I told you once and I told you twice
But ya never listen to my advice
But here’s a chance to change your mind
‘Cause I’ll be gone a long, long time.

Well, this could be the last time
This could be the last time
Maybe the last time
I don’t know!
Oh no.

This could be the last time
Well, I don’t know!
This could be the last time
Well, I don’t know!
This could be the last time
Well, I don’t know!
This could be the last time
Well, I don’t know!”

Arcade Fire! Thank you!
