[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
