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
