Mercy (Chris Jonat)

All the children met

In day cares and nightclubs

Discussed finger paints and body rubs

They embraced it all

It hasn't happened yet

But pretty soon they will fall flat

Alcohol will take the edge off that

Ease the pain if not the fall

You gotta take off your hat, force a bow

Wipe that sweat right off your brow

Look her in the eye and try for mercy

And so the story grows

I got kind of wired and

I drove the snakes from Ireland

And then I broke for lunch

If you want a small nose

Give honesty a try

But if you gotta lie

You may as well lie a bunch

Hello, how are you? I like you plenty well

If you get bored here, there's always the hotel

We can order in, and turn off the ringer

And you can have your pick, the song or the singer
