No more Mr. Nice Guy  
I’ve got to state my business pal  
Get out of my life but first  
Get outta my gal

My dog bit me on the leg today  
My cat clawed my eyes  
Ma’s been thrown out of the social circle  
And dad has to hide  
I went to church incognito  
When everybody ro-ose  
The reverend Smith, he recognized me  
and punched me in the nose

He said “no more Mr. Nice Guy”  
No more Mr. Clea-hee-hee-heen  
No more Mr. Nice guy  
He’s sick, he’s obsce-hee-hee-heen

So messed up I want you here  
In my room I want you here  
Now we’re gonna be face to face  
And I’ll lay right down in my favorite place  
Now I wanna be your dog

But the dogs, oh yes the dogs  
they just lick your face as they see it  
And yet the dogs. well, they’re only dogs  
and maybe that’s why  
they’re man’s best friend

Thank you for being a friend,  
Travel down the road and back again.  
Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant.

Ah, you’re my best friend  
And I love you so well  
Till the end of time you won’t see me  
Ah, you’re my best friend  
When I see you, it seems  
Now I can see I’ve fallen into your love stream  
Follow your dream  
Do you know what I mean, yeah

Ooh you make me live  
Whatever this world can give to me  
It’s you you’re all I see  
Ooo you make me live, now honey  
Ooo you make me live.

Ooh you’re the best friend that I ever had  
I’ve been with you such a long time  
You’re my sunshine and I want you to know  
That my feelings are true  
I really love you  
Oh you’re my best friend.

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,  
He’s a warm-hearted person who’ll love me till the end.  
People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,  
He’s a one-boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy.

I got a girl with a little rubber head  
Rinse her out every night before I go to bed  
Eyes are all closed in a ecstasy face  
You can cram it down her throat, keep it any old place.  
Never talks back like a lady might do  
And she looks like she’s loving it every time I get through

You’re pitiful  
You’re pitiful it’s true  
Never had no date  
That you didn’t inflate  
And you smell disgusting too

When all the flower ladies want back what they have lent you  
And the smell of their roses does not remain  
And all of your children start to resent you  
Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane?

She stands all alone  
you can hear her hum softly  
From her fire escape in the sky  
She fills the bags 'neath her eyes  
with the moonbeams  
And cries cos the world’s passed her by

Let her cry, for she’s a lady  
let her dream, for she’s a child  
let the rain fall down upon her  
She’s a free and gentle flower,  
growing wild

I’ve been looking for a woman to save my life  
Not to beg or to borrow  
A woman with the feeling of losing once or twice  
Who knows how could it be tomorrow?

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!  
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch.  
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singin’,  
Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door.

This old porch is a steaming greasy plate of enchiladas  
With lots of cheese and onion and a guacamole salad
