Mercy (Chris Jonat) All the children met In day cares and nightclubs Discussed finger paints and body rubs They embraced it all It hasn't happened yet But pretty soon they will fall flat Alcohol will take the edge off that Ease the pain if not the fall You gotta take off your hat, force a bow Wipe that sweat right off your brow Look her in the eye and try for mercy And so the story grows I got kind of wired and I drove the snakes from Ireland And then I broke for lunch If you want a small nose Give honesty a try But if you gotta lie You may as well lie a bunch Hello, how are you? I like you plenty well If you get bored here, there's always the hotel We can order in, and turn off the ringer And you can have your pick, the song or the singer
