[Verse 1]

They're gonna fire you in the morning

If you don't get right

All our souvenirs of glory

In a big blue pile

Why don't you finish what you started?

Let your new friends stay

For the night or for forever

And you see if I care

[Verse 2]

Creatures glide along the pavement

Into restaurants and bars

Traders slink into the warehouse

To go and get the jerk in charge

Feather bedding for the centrefold

From up there our lawn

Is a little piece of paper

[Chorus]

What did you just call me?

Where'd you get the nerve?

I'm sorry

I guess I'll never learn

[Bridge]

These kinds of things

They happen all the time

There's no use in taking it to heart

There's a lifetime yawning out ahead

Come home and show me who you really are

[Chorus]

What did you just call me?

Where'd you get the nerve?

I'm sorry

I guess I'll never learn

Where'd you get the nerve?

Guess I'll never learn

Where'd you get the nerve?

Guess I'll never learn
