When the postman dont call on valentines day
And santa claus dont come on a christmas day
That umbrella wont work on a rainy day
Dont ask me, I already know
When they find you beached on the barrier reef
And the only pleasure treasured is in map relief
The choice is yours, sure, saint or thief
Dont ask me I already know
When they baked your cake in little slices,
Kept your eyes on rising prices,
Wound up winning booby prizes;
Im sure youd like to think you know what life is
Find destiny through magazines
Liplicking, unzipping
Harpers and queens
From here to eternity,
Without in-betweens,
Dont ask me, I already know
With your heart on parade and your heart on parole
I hope you find a sucker to buy that mink stole
School for scandal,
Guess whos enrolled?
So ask me, I already know
When they find you beached on the barrier reef
When the postman dont call on valentines day
When the only pleasure treasured is in map relief
When you dont tell the truth, thats the price you pay
When Im shaking a hand, Im clenching a fist
If you gave me a pound for the moments I missed
And I got dancing lessons for all the lips I shoulda kissed
Id be a millionaire
Id be a fred astaire
