The Know-It-All Boyfriends |
Lyrics |
sometimes you can fix something by not changing a thing
just redesign the carton
sometimes you can fix something by just playing some golf
get buddy-buddy with the big guns
sometimes you can fix something by just traveling light
rid yourself of your possessions
sometimes you can fix something by just being a king
declare it fixed by proclamation
sometimes you can fix something with coffee and cigarettes
the real breakfast of champions
sometimes you can fix something by just learning how to swim
pretend that you are Esther Williams
sometimes you can fix something by just stealin' a boat
then seek political asylum
sometimes you can fix something by just splitting hairs
point out the subtle distinctions
sometimes you can fix something by just being right
without fear of contradiction
sometimes you can fix something by not being too right
avoid self-righteous indignation
sometimes you can fix something by just staying awake
or you might miss something
sometimes you can fix something by just taking a nap
the elves will fix it while you're sleeping
sometimes you can fix something by just saying "hi"
greetings and salutations
sometimes you can fix something by just being lost
you'll go off in new directions
sometimes you can fix something by just knowing the Mob
sometimes it helps to be Sicilian
sometimes you can fix something by just closing-up shop
put up a sign that says "gone fishing"
sometimes you can fix something by just picking up the tab
snow 'em with a lavish luncheon
sometimes you can fix something by just doing good work
you've earned that adulation
sometimes you can fix something by just being known
someone who needs no introduction
sometimes you can fix something by just being a star
tho not like Norma Desmond
sometimes you can fix something by just being clean
and above all suspicion
sometimes you can fix something by just filling your plate
help yourself, go back for seconds
sometimes you can fix something by just being a whore
there're many kinds of prostitution
sometimes you can fix something with eeny-meeny-miney-mo
the process of elimination
sometimes you can fix something by just knowing who was there
guilty by association
sometimes you can fix something by with AT and F1 enter
reinitialize your modem
