(Al Yankovic)
When we first met she seemed perfectly normal
I never dreamed she`d make my life so hard
You see, my baby, she started to change
Started lookin` kinda strange
Wearin` all that white makeup and those black leotards
Well, I guess she kept her little secret pretty well
Now ever since I learned the horrible truth
You know my life has been a living hell
That`s right, you see...
She never told me she was a mime
She never told me she was a mime, oh no
Actin` like she`s trapped inside a big glass box all the time
She never told me, she never told me she was a...
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-mime
I wish we both could just talk it all over
But my baby won`t even make a sound
Now she makes everybody sick
Doin` that pantomime shtick
Even our old friends have stopped coming around
Well, my parents can`t stand her and the neighbors hate her guts
She`s really, really embarassing me...this silent treatment`s
driving me nuts
You see...
She never told me she was a mime
She never told me she was a mime, oh no
Now she`s actin` like she`s trapped inside a big glass box all the time
What a crime
She never told me (she never told me) she never told me she was a mime
She walks against the wind everywhere we go
Stops at every corner, gotta put on a show
Carries `round a picture of Marcel Marceau
Always was the quiet type, but how was I to know?
She never told me she was a mime
She never told me she was a mime, oh no
Actin` like she`s trapped inside a big glass box all the ti-yi-yi-yi-yi-ime
She never told me, she never told me she was a mime
