Fixer-Upper

Summary:

The stupid troll song from Frozen but it's Jester trying to get Essek and Caleb together

Notes:

Soooo, it's been a bit. In my defence, I got in a car accident. My car is totalled. Forgive me? I WILL post what I have and I WILL write the ideas I have floating around. Hell, you're even getting two more today, though that's more because this song is more of a joke and I want to pair it with something with some semblance of substance

Fair warning, far more of the lyrics in this parody are just lifted from the original song than I would usually ever stand to leave. I think I changed enough that I can justify posting it, but honestly I think half the humour of this one is just how spot-on the original song manages to be to these very specific characters. Italics are spoken sections, should be self-apparent

Trust me, listen to the song as you go, I promise that you can sing along comfortably

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Jester:
What’s the issue, Essek?
Why are you holding back from such a man?

Is it the jumpy way he walks?
Or the grumpy way he talks?
Or the way his face stays
Resting on defeat?

And though we know he washes well
He always ends up sort of smelly
But you’ll never meet a fellow who’s as
Sensitive and sweet!

So he’s a bit of a fixer-upper
So he’s got a few flaws
Like even being a wizard
His kitty familiar
Hints at pushing the bounds of nature’s laws

So he’s a bit of a fixer-upper
But this I’m certain of
You can fix this fixer-upper
Up with a little bit of love!

Caleb:
Can we please just stop talking about this?
We’ve got a real, actual problem here

Jester:
I’ll say! So, tell me, dear

Is it the way he’s always scared?
Or that he’s socially impaired?
Or that he’d hide things from you every time he could?

Are you holding back attraction
Due to his opposing faction?
Or the way he covers up that
He’s the honest goods?

He’s just a bit of a fixer-upper
He’s got a couple of bugs
His isolation is confirmation
Of his desperation for healing hugs

So he’s a bit of a fixer-upper
But I know what to do
The way to fix up this fixer-upper
Is to fix him up with you!

Caleb:
Enough! He is the traitor we’ve been looking for, okay?

Jester:
So he’s a bit of a fixer-upper
That’s a minor thing
He seems regretful, so he can’t be dreadful
And really what good would telling bring?

So he’s a bit of a fixer-upper
But now he’s in our midst
He can work toward a world restored
And the whole thing will be fixed

I’m not saying you can change him
Instead you can help him change
I’ve always known that love’s a force
That’s powerful and strange

People make bad choices
When they lose sight of the rest
Throw a little love their way
(Throw a little love their way)
And you’ll bring out their best
True love brings out the best

Everyone’s a bit of a fixer-upper
That’s what it’s all about!
Mother, sister, brother
We need each other
To raise us up and round us out

Everyone’s a bit of a fixer-upper
But when push comes to shove
The only fixer-upper fixer
That can fix a fixer-upper is

True, true
True, true, true
Love (True love)
Love, love, love, love, love
Love! (True love)
True…

Do you, Essek, take Caleb to be your dick-fully wedded husband?

Essek:
Wait, what?

Jester:
You’re getting married!

…love!

Notes:

Yes I know it's stupid, but please I cannot be the only person who also thinks it's hilarious

What do you think? Do you have a song you want me to rewrite? Let me know! I know it's a writer cliché but seriously comments are everything
