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 humor of the situation
Come on now now
Come on now now
Enjoy the humor 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 humor of the situation
Come on now now
Come on now now
Enjoy the humor
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 humor of the situation
Come on now now
Come on now now
Enjoy the humor 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 neighbor
Soaked be with the house
I've never felt so small
I've never been so disused
As I shiver dripping
While the chorus goes
Come on now now
Come on now now
Enjoy the humor of the situation
Come on now now
Come on now now
Enjoy the humor of the situation
Come on now now
Come on now now
Enjoy the humor of the situation
