Shame shame shame shame shame shame shame

shame on you, shame on you



You've always taken life in massive doses

Back when you were a child they said you were precocious

You were always doing something that you shouldn't ought to do

And you never did the things that were expected of you



In school you were a troublemaker, always getting caught

Staying up on all the things the teachers never taught

Well, you've got a lot of nerve acting the way you do

You know, something's going to bring a lot of shame on you



Shame on you, shame on you

Shame on you, shame on you



Man, you could have had power and a hot position

Like a hotshot lawyer or a bigshot politician

You could have been the head of a major corporation

Instead you're working part time at a filling station

Doing comedy on the side -- you're really quite funny

But dude, don't you know you could be making big money?



Shame on you -- you haven't got a dime

Shame on you -- for having such a good time

Shame on you -- you're a disgrace to everyone

Shame on you -- you're having too much fun

Shame on you, shame on you

Shame on you, shame on you



Well, I remember that producer down in Hollywood

Who came to hear you play, and said you were good

It was your one big break --

If you only would have played your cards a little smarter

By now you'd have it made -- your own TV show, or recording contract!

And all you had to do was lighten up your act!

A stairway to the stars -- a one-way ticket

But you, you had to go and tell him where he could stick it



Shame on you -- you could have been on TV

Shame on you -- you have too much integrity

Shame on you -- you should have kept the door open

Shame on you -- you're just too outspoken



Shame on you -- you haven't got a dime

Shame on you -- for having such a good time

Shame on you -- you're a disgrace to everyone

Shame on you -- you're having too much fun

Shame on you -- you're having too much fun

Shame on you -- you're having too much fun
