The Humour of the Situation

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
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
 I said on the phone "don't wait til I'm home"
 But I'm sure I could hear you crying
 I said where I was, but you doubt it because
 It's the caller I.D. you're buying
 In the hour that it took for me to drive up to the door
 You'd arranged all my belongings on the lawn
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
 Have you heard the one about the boy
 Who moved into the henhouse to sleep?
 He woke up with egg on his face
 When he found out all the hens had crossed the street
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
 Enjoy the humour of the situation
 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 your next door neighbour soaked me with the hose
 I've never felt so small, I've never been so dissed
 As I shiver, dripping, while the chorus goes:
 Come on now, now
 Come on now, now
