Bill of Goods |
| Couldn’t make the effort |
| You couldn’t talk the chit-chat |
| At the dinner table you looked tired |
| The soft candle light couldn’t hide that |
| Your perfume petered out |
| There was a whiff from your nicked armpit |
| When the real you wafted through |
| And your deodorant |
| Couldn’t stop it |
| There was a fire in your building |
| They still don’t know what caused it |
| But all your clothes and shoes burned up |
| When it spread to your closet |
| You had on your see-through night gown |
| Not quite completely naked |
| You refused the fire chief |
| When he offered you the blanket |
| Everything will be alright |
| Remember when you thought that? |
| I sold you that bill of goods |
| Remember when you bought that? |
| Common knowledge has it |
| Easy never does it |
| We gave each other such a hard time |
| It sure was fun or was it an adventure or disaster |
| Kinda sweet or sorta sour |
| Nothing’s that important |
| When it takes more than half an hour |
| And if you’re gonna catch it |
| Pray that day that they can cure it |
| And the procedure is painless |
| So somehow we’ll all endure it |
| And if there’s surgery it’s plastic |
| And entirely cosmetic |
| So the new you is near perfect |
| For some so unatheletic |
| Everything will be alright |
| Remember when you thought that? |
| I sold you that bill of goods |
| Remember when you bought that? |
| Everything will be alright |
| Remember when you thought that? |
| I sold you that bill of goods |
| Remember when you bought that? |
| Everything will be alright |
