When you walked in, I said with a grin
|
That we were just talking about you
|
We all had to lie because you would cry
|
If you knew we were laughing at you
|
In the momentary lull before the band begins to play
|
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi
|
|
Come on now, now
|
Come on now, now
|
Enjoy the humour of the situation
|
Come on now, now
|
Come on now, now
|
Enjoy the humour of the situation
|
|
I said on the phone "don't wait til I'm home"
|
But I'm sure I could hear you crying
|
I said where I was, but you doubt it because
|
It's the caller I.D. you're buying
|
In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door
|
You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn
|
|
Come on now, now
|
Come on now, now
|
Enjoy the humour of the situation
|
Come on now, now
|
Come on now, now
|
Enjoy the humour of the situation
|
|
Have you heard the one about the boy
|
Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?
|
He woke up with egg on his face
|
When he found out all the hens had crossed the street
|
|
Come on now, now
|
Come on now, now
|
Enjoy the humour of the situation
|
Come on now, now
|
Come on now, now
|
Enjoy the humour of the situation
|
|
As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me
|
I felt a chill because I was still
|
Wearing the emperor's new clothes
|
My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed
|
While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house
|
I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed
|
As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:
|
|
Come on now, now
|
Come on now, now
|
Enjoy the humour of the situation
|
