The Jazz Butcher Lyrics Shame About You

Lyrics

Shame About You
Move together; it's been a beautiful day
And we've all been thrilled to see the skills out there upon display.
Move together and here we all are,
With my favourite band in my favourite bar.

But it's a shame about you. Oh, what can I say?
Because people shouldn't ought to marry but they do it every day.
Now, who feels stupid? Who feels blue?
Aw, little sister, it's a shame about you.

I have left undone those things that I ought to have done
And I have done things that were better left undone.
I have left undone those things that I ought to have done
And I have done things that were better left undone.

It's still a shame about you because I can tell right away;
This isn't ever going to happen, not today or any day.
Now, who feels stupid? Now, who feels blue?
Aw, little sister, it's a shame about you.

Yes, it's a shame about you because I can tell at a glance;
This isn't ever going to be that fondly fantasised romance.
Now, what can I tell you? Oh, baby, what can I do?
Aw, little sister, it's a shame, it's a shame,
It's a shame about you. Credit: ;;
