| My friend she told me such a story but she didn’t know what I knew
|
| I laughed with my friend when she got to the end
|
| I knew we were laughing at you
|
| She told me that you made some money and you got yourself frames on the wall
|
| People come by and they look at your face
|
| And they say it’s the fairest of all
|
| Of course you protest
|
| That’s what you do best
|
| You’re modest and shy to the end
|
| You’re watching them a as they’re looking at you
|
| And you know it was money well spent
|
| She told me you’d given up drinking to be with somebody you knew
|
| And you tried to get into the bible
|
| But it never got into you
|
| You’ve still got some loyal disciples I suppose that I’m one of the few
|
| I shouldn’t have laughed Cause I mean you no harm
|
| But my friend got to me before you
|
| And next time I see you I’ll be pleased to see you
|
| I hope you’ll be pleased to see me
|
| I’ll visit your picture I won’t have the nerve
|
| To tell them that they’ve got you all wrong |
