[Verse 1]
What a stupidly splendid time we would have
If we spent our time on something as simple as sharing a laugh
Take me with you, if you're going to the zoo
I'd rather be with the monkeys
Than face the elephant in the room
[Verse 2]
You're off tune and yet I listen to you
You’d manage to trip up the stairs
You're loud and your heads in the clouds
But you don't care
You're a one man flash mob
If you want but you manage to make the blind stare
You're the elephant in the room
But I don't care
[Chorus]
E i e i, there you go again
Pay the bills, Bill
Left on hold again
E i e i a b c d e i e i o
[Verse 3]
What a stupidly stupid excuse we all have
I spent all of my time like it’s nothing on something like that
A penny for your thoughts, I wouldn’t pay half the cost
Half the things that we think are worth nothing at all
[Verse 4]
You’re unfortunate, we’re enemies with benefits
You make even blind people stare
All the time in the world and you spend it pretending you care
You're a peanut gallery
And I've a peanut allergy
You're the elephant in the room
[Bridge]
So why do I care for you?
You’re awkward and strange and can’t ever just stay on tune
Why do I care for you?
It’s strange but I guess it makes sense
‘Cause you care for me too
[Verse 5]
Why am I there for you?
You’re awkward and strange and can't ever just stay in tune
Why am I there for you?
It’s strange but I guess it makes sense
‘Cause you're there for me too
[Chorus]
Ooooh
E i e i oooo
E i e i, there you go again
Pay the bills, Bill
Left on hold again
E i e i a b c d
E i e i o
E i e i, here we are again
Count to ten, you're left on hold again
2 4 6 8 10
Pretend to know

[Verse 6]
What a stupidly splendid time we would have
If we spent our time on something as simple as sharing a laugh
Take me with you if you're going to the zoo
I'd rather be with the monkeys
Than face the elephant in the room
[Verse 7]
You're off tune and yet I listen to you
You’d manage to trip up the stairs
You're loud and your heads in the clouds
But you don't care
You're a one man flash mob if you want but
You manage to make the blind stare
You're the elephant in the room but I don't care
3x [Chorus]
E i e i, there you go again
Pay the bills, Bill
Left on hold again
E i e i a b c d

E i e i, here we are again
Count to ten, you're left on hold again

Pretend to know

Awe man
