You know when you end up in some sort of a cinema complex and the person next to you is someone you hate? Well well well well well well well well with me, I end up like that, all around and inside left
All through the walls It suppurates Look it up! I'm immobile Is your house for sale?
And Davey's just got out of his cell Where have you been this time? Your lives are beyond the pale Walk the main drag, splayed See the blue baseball hatted, baseball blue hatted School friends, pop mobs Male loafers, business affairs advisers and members of the band Suppurates, look it up!
And every day it's my pleasure to meet The great league of bald-headed men And it's every day's my pleasure to meet The great league of bald-headed men
Your friends, pop mobs, first wives, ex- loafers
And every day it is my pleasure to meet The league of bald-headed men And every day it's my pleasure to meet The great league And every day it's my pleasure to meet The league of bald-headed men And every day it's my pleasure to meet The league of bald-headed men
Baseball hatted, blue capped Baseball hatted, blue capped
And every day it's my pleasure to meet The league of bald-headed men And every day it's my pleasure to meet
