lyrics

A D E A (all the way through)

{chorus}
I tried!
But it goes so wrong! But it goes so wroooooong
And it goes so wrong!
And it goes so wroooooong

And the dummy can say, in his own snide way
In his own snide way, he repeats all day
He repeats all day day insults around the bend
Incessantly he condescends
To me, and I put him in a cage
In a velvet bed, and I polish his face
And I dress him up fine to the nines with a tie and a shine
And ferry him around the place.

{chorus}

And our little friend leers, and he cocks his ear
And he rolls his eyes, and he shoots a sneer
And I set him up time after time with a tight punchline
At my expense, he shows no fear
And they laugh, and they clap their hands
And he soaks it in, his adoring fans
And I sit like a lump on the stage where I slump everyday
And ferry off my little man

{chorus}
