Shame on You

Shame shame shame shame shame shame shame Shame on you, shame on you You've always taken life in massive doses Back when you were a child they said you were precocious You were always doing something that you shouldn't ought to do And you never did the things that were expected of you In school you were a troublemaker, always getting caught Staying up on all the things the teachers never taught Well, you've got a lot of nerve acting the way you do You know, something's going to bring a lot of shame on you Shame on you, shame on you Shame on you, shame on you Man, you could have had power and a hot position Like a hotshot lawyer or a bigshot politician You could have been the head of a major corporation Instead you're working part time at a filling station Doing comedy on the side, you're really quite funny But dude, don't you know you could be making big money?

And all you had to do was lighten up your act! A stairway to the stars, a one-way ticket But you, you had to go and tell him where he could stick it Shame on you, you could have been on TV Shame on you, you have too much integrity Shame on you, you should have kept the door open Shame on you, you're just too outspoken Shame on you, you haven't got a dime Shame on you, for having such a good time Shame on you, you're a disgrace to everyone Shame on you, you're having too much fun Shame on you, you're having too much fun Shame on you, you're having too much fun
