Hee hee-hee

Man in raincoat says to young bloke
Would you like to come to my house?
Maybe bring your wife around for tea

Bloke with blue-eyed, green-eyed monster
With his eyes he really cast her
Bearing across table first said he

Can't seem to make it in life
Settle down with somebody else's wife
Falling between two very stools
Somewhere between Nabokov and god's schools

Something now to bang his catch
Trying to disguise the letch
It's a very sorry tale indeed
Morbid ...
Friendly union what he's had
Green eyed monster's lost to demon he

Can't seem to make it in life
Settle down with somebody else's wife
Falling between two very stools
Somewhere between Nabokov and god's schools

He feels sorry somehow
Can't put his finger on it right now
Can't seem to make it on own life
Settle down with someone else's wife

Burnt his 'tache to gain attention
Never smiles to hide the tension
What a sorry way for him to be
Man in raincoat says to him
Oh would you like to come to my house?
Maybe bring your wife around for tea

Can't seem to make it in life
Settle down with somebody else's wife
Falling between two very stools
Somewhere between Nabokov and god's schools
