I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
|
They weren't kidding when they called me kinda strange
|
But you'll find that nowadays
|
I've mended all my ways
|
Repented, seen the light, and made a change
|
And I fortunately know a little secret
|
It's a talent that I always have possessed
|
And dear lady, please don't laugh
|
I use it on behalf
|
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)
|
|
Poor unfortunate souls
|
In pain
|
In need
|
This one longing to be thinner
|
That one wants to get the girl
|
And do I help them?
|
Yes, indeed!
|
Those poor unfortunate souls
|
So sad
|
So true
|
They come flocking to me crying
|
"Will you help us, pretty please?"
|
And I help them!
|
Yes I do!
|
|
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
|
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
|
Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
|
And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
|
They're not all that impressed with conversation
|
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
|
But they dote and swoon and fawn
|
On ladies who withdrawn
|
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man
|
|
Poor unfortunate souls
|
Go ahead!
|
Make your choice!
|
I'm a very busy person and I haven't got all day
|
It won't cost much
|
Just your voice!
|
Those poor unfortunate souls
|
So sad
|
So true
|
If you wanna cross the bridge, my sweet
|
You've got the pay the toll
|
Take a gulp
|
Take a breath
|
Go ahead
|
Sign the scroll
|
Nick and Kevin
|
Now I've got her, boys
|
The boss is on a roll
|
You poor unfortunate souls
|
|
In pain
|
In need
|
This one longing to be thinner
|
That one wants to get the girl
|
And do I help them?
|
Yes, indeed!
|
Those poor unfortunate souls
|
So sad
|
So true
|
They come flocking to me crying
|
"Will you help us, pretty please?"
|
And I help them!
|
Yes I do!
|
|
Those poor unfortunate souls
