Beecharmer — Nellie McKay

feat. Cyndi Lauper

Cindy Lauper:

Sewed everything you said Together in a thread Repeating in my mind Each word like a rhyme Like a penny serenade Looking through his song He said the record's overplayed But where did I go wrong

Nellie Mckay:

You never stayed at first Could not commit the time Ignored all the quirks But he still did the crime And when he goes away I know you'll call and cry

Cindy Lauper:

And when he calls up to tell Now I'm gonna cry

Nellie Mckay:

But I know you're mine When you're on the line

Cindy Lauper:

Is it something I said

Nellie Mckay:

Would you let him walk away

Cindy Lauper:

Got it stuck in my head

Nellie Mckay:

Don't you hear a word I say

Cindy Lauper:

Is it something I said

Nellie Mckay:

Every night the same old moan It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Everytime he asks me how I feel When I tell him, the phone goes dead

Nellie Mckay:

I'm the queen of QVC You're leaning on my ear You mean the world to me Though the connection isn't clear Like my ink sputs 78's Convenient when you're low

Cindy Lauper:

Feel like an antelope on a nature show Oh no! I guess I gotta go

Nellie Mckay:

But I know you're mine When you're on the line

Cindy Lauper:

Is it something I said

Nellie Mckay:

Would you let him walk away

Cindy Lauper:

Got it stuck in my head

Nellie Mckay:

Don't you hear a word I say

Cindy Lauper:

Is it something I said

Nellie Mckay:

Everytime we're on the phone It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Cindy Lauper:

Hey !

Nellie Mckay:

Cast away romance

Cindy Lauper:

What's it gonna take

Nellie Mckay:

No knights with shiny armor

Cindy Lauper:

Hey !

Nellie Mckay:

Try a different dance Oh, I'm a real bee charmer

Cindy Lauper:

Well I scold and I scratched to make him stay But he don't wanna know from me Why that old alley cat, he runs away

Nellie Mckay:

Lock the door and lose the key

Cindy Lauper:

Is it something I said

Nellie Mckay:

Would you let him walk away

Cindy Lauper:

I got it stuck in my head

Nellie Mckay:

Don't you hear a word I say

Cindy Lauper:

Is it something I said

Nellie Mckay:

Every night the same trombone It's ahhh, I'm waiting till my Joe comes home

Cindy Lauper:

Hey !

Nellie Mckay:

Let's forget romance Let's correct romance With knights in shiny armor

What's it gonna take Try a different dance Oh, I'm a real bee charmer...
