Bruno, what did you tell that man?

He's a clever man, did you know? I bet he works for the government.

And I know you know I know I can't control

 Thoughts of things I need, and I believe everybody needs some encouragement.

 I think it's real unfair that you should put him there

All we did was kiss, on my grave I swear

 Where did you find his shoes? A lock of my hair?

All we did was kiss, on my grave I swear (x2)

Some dull morning, we were wearing sheets,

and you whispered, "I think that they know better than me."

See this hand that pushed you into the creek?

Sorry, was just fun, and you were laughing,

 we ran right into the street.

 And I wrote my name into the fresh-painted yellow line,

 and you wrote your name right there next to mine.

We had to dodge a truck, he almost hit a buck

 I think we had some luck, and for two bucks

we bought some bread and fed the grey geese and the ducks.

Everyone will come, everyone will yell

I'd thank you just the same if you didn't tell

 My mother says that I will surely go to Hell

Please be a good man, please say you won't tell (x2)

Did you know that that boy is an armed man?

 Bearing flowers in two hands, very able to hold me down

and love me more than anyone.

Bruno, what happened to your good sense?

I broke down, that man's good. I bet he works for the government.

Did you hear about that mother who broke her daughter's legs in two?

Said, "It's too dangerous out there to walk, so I had to save you!"

Ba ba da dum, Ba ba da dum,

Ba ba da dum, Ba ba bum

Da da da dum Da da da dum

Da da da dum dada dum

Everyone will come, everyone will yell

I'd thank you just the same if you didn't tell

 My mother says that I will surely go to Hell

Please be a good man, please say you won't tell (x2)

Bruno, did you know that the Greeks in the morning would eat oranges?

 They were firm believers in fruit curing fevers, and I agree.

 That an orange warms the stomach.
