Shame On You 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 But dude, don't you know you could be making big money? 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 And all you had to do was lighten up your act! But you, you had to go and tell him where he could stick it
