“Shame on You” by Scott Kempner appears on the 1984 Del-Lords album, “Frontier Days”.
This is classic 80s Rockabilly Revival and a story about immature behavior.
Well maybe this is the wrong time
For me to bring this up again
But I thought you were my friend
You're being so mystifying
It’s obvious that you’ve been lying
And I could never look at you the same
Such a coward, such a shame
Shame on you
Shame on you
Shame on you
Well, you don’t see me around now
Well I’m not downtown too much these days
Yeah, I try to stay away
I don’t wanna answer no questions
I don’t wanna hear no suggestions
I’m a little bit embarrassed by the truth
And I’m really ashamed of you
Shame on you
Shame on you
Shame on you
Well, who would’ve thought after all we’ve learned
You’d kick me out and just watch me burn
Well, it’s a little bit hard for me to take
Yeah, I counted on you, you could count on me
And that’s a kind of responsibility
Congratulations on disgracing the family name
Forevermore in shame
Shame on you
Shame on you
Shame on you
Shame on You was written by Scott Kempner.
Shame on You was produced by Lou Whitney.
