Where people go to drink away their gloom 
He sat me down and so began 
The story of a charmless man

| Verse |

Lyrics:
He knows the swingers and their cavalry 
Says he can get in anywhere for free 
I began to go a little cross-eyed 
And from this charmless man I just had to hide (away) 

| Bridge |

| Chorus |

Lyrics:
He talks at speed, he gets nosebleeds 
He doesn't see (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) his days are tumbling 
Down upon him (Ooo-ooo-ooh) 
And yet he tries so hard to please 
He's just so keen (Ooo-ooo-wooo-ooo-ooh) for you to listen (Ooo-ooo-ooh) 
But no one's listening 
And when you put it all together, there's the model of a charmless man
