Treats is a 1975 play by Christopher Hampton about a love triangle.
The play is set in 1974, London, in a single room in Ann's flat. There are three characters: Ann, her former boyfriend Dave, and her lover Patrick.
Ann and Patrick are contentedly sitting at home one night, listening to music and talking, when Dave breaks in. His violent temper is clear from the beginning: He punches Patrick on the nose, then refuses to leave, even as Ann threatens to call the police. It soon turns out that Ann used Dave's work trip to Cyprus to break up with him as she had long been planning to do. Now a colleague from work—her new boyfriend, Patrick—moved in with her. Dave refuses to accept the situation and demands an explanation, bullying Ann, and being overly friendly with Patrick. Ann seems determined not to listen to him, particularly when the two men bond against her. Dave tells her she would be bored out of her mind by Patrick and asks her to marry him. She refuses. Dave, however, is crafty and clever enough to succeed: he wins her back and moves back in at the end, succeeding in making both of them miserable.
Give us what we came here for
Give us what we came here for
Encore! We want more
Give us what we came here for
I got treats for your audible
Yup! I know you like what you hear
Treats for your audible
Oh, how enjoyable
Put it in your headphones
Rock it portable
Mono or stereo, let's go
Travel on down to a John Reuben show
So we can build together
Link minds together
Oh, it's so much better to combine the efforts and
Double the impact, double the effect
Twice the energy, twice the sweat
Let's get this thing into full swing
And bring party rockin' a whole new meaning
Ha, smiles teeth white and gleaming
Now are you thinking what I'm thinking?
What may come
What may I say we say
And keep on rockin' through the break of day
I got treats for your audible
Anything's possible
Yup! I know you like what you hear
Treats for your stereo, there you go
Yup! I know you like what you hear
Treats for your audible, rather phenomenal
Yup! I know you like what you hear
Delicious, delectible, savory treats
Mmm...
Numb the eardrum with a blanket of sound
Here's another round of get-on-down
Pass it around
So everyone's involved
A few minutes later look how it evolved
Long as the earth revolves I'll be on call
If you need a emcee, okay, problem solved
I'm there in a heartbeat
Hear my heart speak
Even if I don't ever make the charts peak
That's okay, hey, fact is
I like the simple life and its theatrics
Its everyday madness serves as a reminder that
I'm alive but it's kind of a blur
At least the last 24 and a half years have been
Really no routine or set patter-en', so
Who knows what's next in line?
Come along and see what we find
I got treats for your audible
Anything's possible
Yup! I know you like what you hear
Treats for your stereo, there you go
Yup! I know you like what you hear
Treats for your audible, rather phenomenal
Yup! I know you like what you hear
Frothy, ice cold, and yet oddly enough, still blazing hot

Something they can dance to, yeah

Right there, you know you feelin' it, haha
Yeah, yeah]
See, I wrote a song for the world to sing
Let it go down in history
In your memory it loops repeatedly
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again?
Yeah, over and over and over again
In your memory it loops repeatedly
Over and over and over again
