I Feel A Song Coming Up


I feel a song coming up

Nobody wants you when you're down and out -
Nobody wants you when you're up and about -
Nobody wants you -
Nobody wants you -
Why don't you just go home?

Nobody wants you when you're looking like that -
Nobody wants you when you're wearing that hat -
Nobody wants you -
Nobody wants you -
Why don't you just go home?

You come around here with a face full of hair -
You got some vain notion that somebody cares -
You think you're so great -
But you can't keep a beat -
Do something useful with your big ugly feet -

(Dynamite guitar solo)

Maybe we're thankful you for all that you've brought -
But leave us alone cause you're starting to rot -
You sure fooled us once -
But now we know you're a dunce -
Why don't you just -
Why don't you just -
Why don't you just go home?

The tide comes up and the tide goes down -
We want you to take the first boat outa town -
You sang your song -
But you've been here too long -
Hanging around here only proves that you're wrong -

Why don't you just go home?

Why don't you just go home?

et cetera

Now's a good time to leave,
'cause the drummer
and the bass player insist on
having their solos too,
and you definitely
don't want to hear
any of that.

Especially the bass.
He's even worse
than the drummer.
I don't know
what made me
join this band.

I really don't.
I studied at Juilliard.
Really.
It's depressing...

How can you try to be funny in times like these?
You are trying to be funny aren't you?
BTW, notice new link to Words that sing.
