Barenaked Ladies - Humor of the Situation lyrics

[Verse 1] When you walked in I said with a grin That we were just talking about you We all had to lie Because you would cry If you knew we were laughing at you In the momentary lull before the band begins to play There's an overwhelming stench of alibi [Chorus x2] Come on now, now Come on now, now Enjoy the humor of the situation [Verse 2] I said on the phone Don't wait until I'm home But I'm sure I could here you crying I said where I was But you doubt it because It's the caller ID your buying In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn [Chorus x2] [Bridge] Have you heard the one about the boy Who moved into the hen house to sleep? He woke up with egg on his face When he found out all the hens had crossed the street [Chorus x2] [Verse 3] As I walked out I thought about All I had left behind me I felt a chill Because I was still Wearing the emperor's new clothes My mind was racing With each chance that I had missed While the next door neighbor Soaked me with the hose I've never felt so small I've never been so dissed As I shivered dripping while the chorus goes: [Chorus x3]
