Well the starlet staggers from her cocktail dress
She wonders why life is such a mess
But they worshipped her last evening all the same
And they howled when she made a toast to what's-his-name

What's-his-name
Got a song with no melody
And what's-his-name
Gonna sing it anyway
He don't care
And what's another melody?
And we won't remember what's-his-name
What's-his-name

Now the judge knocks back a whiskey on the side
Because he knows he's just somebody else's fall guy
Looking for a way to shift the blame
Gonna hang it all on what's-his-name

What's-his-name
Got a file in his cake
And what's-his-name
Got an angel in his eye
He don't care
I think his plans are half-baked
And we won't remember what's-his-name

What's-his-name
They'll deny knowing him
What's-him-name
They'll deny knowing me
They'll deny knowing you
Deny knowing you

Now they're crawling through their days so fearfully
With broken hearts nobody else can see
Tomorrow comes well they'll gladly do the same
Because they don't got it bad as what's-his-name

What's-his-name
Is burning down the turnpike
And what's-his-name
Got the sun coming up on him
He don't care
What they think is wrong with that
And they won't remember what's-his-name

What's-his-name
Got a trunk full of flowers
And what's-his-name
Gonna shoot them in your sky
He don't care
He's likened with the overtures
And we won't remember what's-his-name
