I want to testify, my love is bona-fide This is the real thing, not just a casual fling But please don't expect consistency from me I've been maimed and I've been chained before you see
But right now I'm Going through a lean period A decidedly mean period
Let's talk things over in the Old Rover Let's drown our sorrows like there's no more tomorrows All those words that I have wasted in haste Have left such a bitter aftertaste
The reason being I'm Going through a lean period A decidedly mean period
This joke I've made at my own expense Has long since worn thin And yet by way of recompense You respond with a wink and a knowing grin
Going through a lean period A decidedly mean period
