Poor Unfortunate Souls Lyrics

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But they dote and swoon and fawn on the lady who's withdrawn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!
