Nellie McKay: Beecharmer

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Sewed everything he said
Together with a thread
Repeatin in my mind
Each word like a rhyme
Like a penny serenade
Liltin through a song
He says the record's overplayed
Where did I go wrong

[Nellie McKay:]
He 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

[Cyndi Lauper:]
And when he calls back today
I know I'm gonna try

[Nellie McKay:]
But I know you're mine
When you're on the line

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Is it somethin I said

[Nellie McKay:]
Won'tcha let him walk away

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Got it stuck in my head

[Nellie McKay:]
Don'tcha hear a word I say

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Is it something I said

[Nellie McKay:]
Every night the same old moan it's
Eeieeieee
Am waiting till my Joe comes home

[Nellie McKay:]
I'm the queen of QVC
You're leanin on my ear
You mean the world to me
Though the connection isn't clear
Like my inkspot seventy-eights
Convenient when you're low

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Feel like an antelope on a nature show
I guess I gotta go

[Nellie McKay:]
But I know you're mine
When you're on the line

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Is it somethin I said

[Nellie McKay:]
Would you let him walk away

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Got it stuck in my head

[Nellie McKay:]
Don'tcha hear a word I say

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Is it something I said

[Nellie McKay:]
Everytime we're on the phone it's
Eeieeieee
Am waiting till my Joe comes home

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Hey

[Nellie McKay:]
Castaway romance

[Cyndi Lauper:]
What's it gonna take

[Nellie McKay:]
No knights with shiny armor

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Hey

[Nellie McKay:]
Try a different dance
Oh, I'm a real beecharmer

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Well I scold and I scratch 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

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Is it somethin I said

[Nellie McKay:]
Won'tcha let him walk away

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Got it stuck in my head

[Nellie McKay:]
Don'tcha hear a word I say

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Is it something I said

[Nellie McKay:]
Every night the same trombone it's
Eeieeieee
Am waitin till my Joe comes home

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Hey

[Nellie McKay:]
Last car wreck romance
What's it gonna take
No knights with shiny armor

[Cyndi Lauper:]
Hey

[Nellie McKay:]
Try a different dance
Oh I'm a real beecharmer
