Ladies and Gentleman

Well there's a gentleman who's not so gentle

'Cause he's too generous with his chit and his chat

So lately we've been discussing a way to rid this

Disgusting example of ample gossip and gab

All we hear is

Well he's a gentleman who plays a caricature

Of a character he wishes he was

So lately we've been ignoring all his stories as we smile and nod

And let him simply do what he does

So watch out

It's just the way that it goes

It's just the way that it goes

It's just the way that it goes

And everybody's got the same story

We never wanted him here

He showed up anyway

He never would leave us alone

We never wanted him here

He showed up anyway

But maybe that's okay

Well soon this gentleman was barking louder

When his biting harder didn't earn him respect

But lately we've been too proud to admit

That we all might miss him just a bit

Now that he's packed up and left

What did we do?

It's just the way that it goes

It's just the way that it goes

It's just the way that it goes

And everybody's got the same story

We never wanted him here

He showed up anyway

He never would leave us alone

We never wanted him here

He showed up anyway

But maybe that's okay

We never wanted him here

He showed up anyway

He never would leave us alone

We never wanted him here

And now he's gone for good

But maybe we've made a mistake
