| Don’t know why I’m down here
|
| Must be something I said
|
| Or some small imperfection
|
| In my soul or in my head
|
| Don’t know why I’m down here
|
| Don’t reserve to roast or bake
|
| I’m fighting off slanderous allegations
|
| Why don’t you give the kid a break?
|
| You don’t think maybe we could talk this over?
|
| You’re a reasonable man
|
| Could we discuss my grave situation?
|
| I’m a miserable man
|
| And I’m in the frying pan
|
| Give the kid a break
|
| (Give me one good reason why I should)
|
| Give the kid a break
|
| Well… all right, all right, so I made a few mistakes
|
| But listen, for heaven’s sake
|
| (Watch your language, kid)
|
| OK, OK, don’t get hot
|
| (Don't question my judgement)
|
| (He only reaped what he sowed)
|
| (He cast his pearls before swine)
|
| (And that’s good enough for me)
|
| (I don’t want to talk it over)
|
| (Even though I’m a reasonable man)
|
| (Sonny, from over here)
|
| (Looks like you’re in no position to bargain)
|
| (You're a convicted man)
|
| (You're right in the frying pan)
|
| Give the kid a break
|
| Yeah, please, give me a break
|
| Give the kid a break
|
| (Nah, I don’t think so, man)
|
| Come on, you know I got what it takes
|
| Can’t you give me a break?
|
| (Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over)
|
| Ok, don’t give the kid a break
|
| Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side
|
| Don’t give the kid a break
|
| Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals
|
| Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal
|
| Is there anything I can say
|
| Or some kind of fine I can pay?
|
| Anything?
|
| Don’t know why I’m down here
|
| Must be something I said, I’m sorry
|
| Or some small imperfection
|
| In my soul or in my head
|
| It might be some sort of imperfection
|
| It might be some infection
|
| Or a clear case of misdirection
|
| It must be a small imperfection
|
| In my soul or in my head
|
| Give the kid a break |
