BARENAKED LADIES - The Humour Of The Situation lyrics

rate me

When you walked in, I said with a grin<br>That we were just talking about you<br>We all had to lie because you would cry<br>If you knew we were laughing at you<br>In the momentary lull before the band begins to play<br>There's an overwhelming stench of alibi<br><br>Come on now, now<br>Come on now, now<br>Enjoy the humour of the situation<br>Come on now, now<br>Come on now, now<br>Enjoy the humour of the situation<br><br>I said on the phone 'don't wait til I'm home'<br>But I'm sure I could hear you crying<br>I said where I was, but you doubt it because<br>It's the caller i.d. you're buying<br>In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door<br>You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn<br><br>Come on now, now<br>Come on now, now<br>Enjoy the humour of the situation<br>Come on now, now<br>Come on now, now<br>Enjoy the humour of the situation<br><br>Have you heard the one about the boy<br>Who moved into the henhouse to sleep? <br>He woke up with egg on his face<br>When he found out all the hens had crossed the street<br><br>Come on now, now<br>Come on now, now<br>Enjoy the humour of the situation<br>Come on now, now<br>Come on now, now<br>Enjoy the humour of the situation<br><br>As I walked out, I thought about all I had left behind me<br>I felt a chill because I was still<br>Wearing the emperor's new clothes<br>My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed<br>While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house<br>I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed<br>As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:<br><br>Come on now, now<br>Come on now, now<br>Enjoy the humour of the situation
