Too Bad

Lyrics

Too bad we were thrown downstairs;
 We never got a chance to sing.
 We were quite polite with one invite
 To keep us off the streeet.
 We mingled for a minute or two
 With the high class clientele.
 Then somebody said "who invited them,
 that crowd of refugees. Get out!"
 What an insult, to be shown the door
 Before we could shake a leg.
 I was most intrigued by the colored queen
 leaning on the kitchen door.
 Then I was ushered with my friends
 by the butler who was twelve feet tall.
 Well let me please explain
 'Cause we're not to blame
 We just don't have the right accent. No, no
 All we wanted to do was to socialize
 Oh, you know its a shame I was always getting the blame
 All we wanted to do was to socialize
 Oh, you know its a shame how we always get the blame
 Sweaty girls and damp motels
 is where I'm gonna stay.
 'Cause now I see what it's all about,
 I didn't at the old school tie.
 Don't worry, we had no fun waiting
 for the all night bus home.
 Too bad my regional tongue
 Gave us away again.
