The Humour of the Situation

Lyrics for The Humour of the Situation

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