Intro
Verse 1
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
Pre-chorus 1
In the momentary lull before the band begins to play
There's an overwhelming stench of alibi
Chorus
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
Instrumental
Verse 2
I said on the phone "Don't wait 'till 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
Pre-chorus 2
In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door
You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn
Chorus
(x2)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation
Bridge
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
Chorus
(x2)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation
Verse 3
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
Pre-chorus 3
My mind was racing with each chance that I had missed
While your next door neighbour soaked be with the house
Pre-chorus 4
I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed
As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:
Chorus
(x3)
Come on now, now
Come on now, now
Enjoy the humour of the situation
