"Standing On Ceremony"


	Remember your manners
	will you please take your hat off
	Your mother is dying
	listen to her cough

	We were always standing on ceremony
	We were always standing on ceremony

	Can't you show some respect please
	although you didn't in real life
	Your mother is dying
	and I god damn well hope you're satisfied

	We were always standing on ceremony
	We were always standing on ceremony

	So please play another song on that juke box
	Please play another pretty sad song for me
	And of that phone rings, tell them that you haven't seen me
	If the phone rings, tell them you haven't seen me for weeks
	and this one here's on me

	Standing on ceremony, standing on ceremony
	Standing on ceremony, standing on ceremony
	Standing on ceremony, you were always standing on ceremony
	(Standing, on ceremony)
	(Standing, on ceremony)
	(Standing, on ceremony)
	(Standing, on ceremony)
	(Standing, on ceremony)
	(Standing, on ceremony)
	...

Standing On Ceremony

Remenber your manners
Will you please take your hat off
Your mother is dying
Listen to her cough

We were always Standing on Ceremony

Can't you show some respect please
Although you didn't in real life
Your mother is dying
And I god damn will hope you're satisfied

We were always Standing on Ceremony
We were always Standing on Ceremony

So please play another song on that jukebox
Please play another pretty sad song for me
And if that phone rings
Tell them that you haven't seen me
If the phone rings
Tell them you haven't seen me for weeks

And this one here's on me

Standing on Ceremony
Standing on Ceremony
Standing on Ceremony
Standing on Ceremony
Standing on Ceremony

You were always Standing on Your Ceremony
