The Humour of the Situation |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 me with the hose |
| I’ve never felt so small, I’ve never been so dissed |
| As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes: |
