Enjoy Yourself or Get Out

from Middle Class White Boy Blues by Andrew London

/

about

Inspired by an entertainer friend who loved singing but disliked people.

lyrics

Come in, get a drink, take a seat at your table
try not to make too much noise & sit still if you're able
I'm sure we're gonna all get on fine
woulda been nice if you'd a made it on time
I don't mean to bite, I'll be feeling all right if I could just get the top off this wine

Don't laugh, don't cough, only sneeze if you gotta
There'll be time to applaud at the end and I know that you'll wanna
and if you really got to go to the john
try not to flush till I finish this song, have fun if it kills you, enjoy yourself or get out

You know I don't come here just for your amusement
you should be grateful we could be bothered at all
We could easily go some place else
you’d all be sat here by yourselfs
Be glad that we’re here let me make it quite clear
It’s all for your cultural health

You’re there, I’m here, I’m the artist remember
I don’t care what you want, gonna play what I think you should hear
and I don’t wanna hear your requests
just remember, I know what’s best
Have fun if it kills you, enjoy yourself or get out.

you know, I don’t come here, just for your amusement
I played with some real big names honey don't you forget
If you don’t like the sound of my voice
just be grateful that you got a choice
you got nothing to lose, put yourself in my shoes
I got no-one to look at but youse

Come in, get a drink, take a seat at your table
try not to make too much noise & sit still if you're able
It’s nice we could be here for you
just remember, whatever you do
Have fun if it kills you, enjoy yourself or get out,
Only gonna tell you once,
Have fun if it kills you, enjoy yourself or get out,
you don’t know how lucky you are,
Have fun if it kills you, enjoy yourself or get out.
