Poor Unfortunate Souls Lyrics

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty They weren't kidding when they called me kinda strange But you'll find that nowadays, I've mended all my ways Repented, seen the light and made a change
And I fortunately know a little secret It's a talent that I always have possessed Dear lady, please don't laugh, I use it on behalf Of the miserable, the lonely and depressed, pathetic!
Poor unfortunate souls In pain, in need This one longing to be thinner This one wants to get the girl And do I help them? Yes, indeed!
Those poor unfortunate souls So sad, so true They come flocking to me crying "Will you help us, pretty please?" And I help them, yes, I do!
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber They think a girl who gossips is a bore Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
They're not all that impressed with conversations True gentlemen avoid it when they can But they dote and swoon and fawn on the lady who's withdrawn And she who holds her tongue, gets her man
Poor unfortunate souls Go ahead, make your choice I'm a very busy person and I haven't got all day It won't cost much, just your voice
Those poor unfortunate souls So sad, so true If you wanna cross the bridge, my sweet You've got the pay the toll Take a gulp, take a breath, go ahead, sign the scroll Nick and Kevin, now I've got her, boys The boss is on a roll!
You poor unfortunate souls In pain, in need This one longing to be thinner This one wants to get the girl And do I help them? Yes, indeed!
Those poor unfortunate souls So sad, so true They come flocking to me crying "Will you help us, pretty please?" And I help them, yes, I do! Those poor unfortunate souls!
