[Verse]
EI heard you say you were nAotorious and glBorious
Well I sEay that's a funny nAame
For a girl I went to hiBgh school with
AWho used to give me lunch time cEhange
And sAhow all the boys the back Bseats Eof your daddy's cAar
I can't believe your stBories
ANobody grows that fEar
[Chorus]
And you lAied and I cried I was myBstified
When I was 1E6 yes its tArue
But there's one thing that I'm sBure of
I'll neAver be as old as yEou
[Verse]
EI got a parakeet mAissionary aBmong canaries
Who Ealways tells the same dirty jAoke
About he holy ghost and his roBman gang
AThe time they did too much cEoke
An waAlked around holy cBity lauEghing at statutes of saAints
I told my bird to qBuit it
ACanaries usually faEint
[Chorus]
And you lAied and I cried I was myBstified
When I was 1E6 yes its tArue
But there's one thing that I'm sBure of
I'll neAver be as old as yEou
[Verse]
EI get local deAlivery of your Bmisery
Even the mEilkman leaves a nAote
And the neighbors sure Bwere very shocked
AAbout your drawbridge and your mEoat
I meaAn once a night is enBough for Eall that chivalry sAtuff
Baby put down your aBrmor
AYour pokers only a Ebluff
[Chorus]
And you lAied and I cried I was myBstified
When I was 1E6 yes its tArue
But there's one thing that I'm sBure of
I'll neAver be as old as yEou
[Outro]
And you lAied and I cried I was myBstified
When I was 1E6 yes its tArue
But there's one thing that I'm sBure of
I'll neAver, never, never, never, be as old as yEou
