They had a courtyard pool at the hotel Delight
I decided to sun myself
There was no-one in sight
Just a small patch of sunlight left out there
Thats where I placed my chair
Then a woman came out
And she placed her chair right smack in front of me
So close I coulda touched her hair
She had her back to me
I thought, Man, This is weird, she pretending Im not here.
Then she lit up a cigarette and the secondary smoke poured over her shoulders
And right down my throat
But she didnt notice, she didnt even care
She had stolen my sunshine and cut of my air!
What kind of person would do you like that?
What kind of person would do you like that?

Its a mean old world when you have to live with incompetence and indifference
Like a bad cup of coffee thats filled to the brim with incompetence and indifference, Yeah!
Smile for me one time
Smile when you really wanna cry
Try for me one time, even though I know its a lie
The electrician came by to fix my wires
And told me straight away Id be charged by the hour
And spent the whole day just pokin around, lookin for the ground
When he did start in, he rewired this and did that, and probably took a nap
Because a week went by before he said its fixed and he left with my check
Now the microwave turns on the big screen tv which cuts off the bathroom light, intermittently, and Id love to take a shower – Im afraid to try – Im afraid Ill – FRY

So I thought Id try a second electrician only this time Id look under crook
Well what really got my goat was when I picked up the phone –
