Too Bad

Too Bad - Faces

Too bad we were thrown downstairs

We never got a chance to sing

We were quite polite with one invite

To keep us off the streeet

We mingled for a minute or two

With the high class clientele

Then somebody said who invited them

That crowd of refugees get out

What an insult to be shown the door

Before we could shake a leg

I was most intrigued by the colored queen

Leaning on the kitchen door

Then I was ushered with my friends

By the butler who was twelve feet tall

Well let me please explain

Cause were not to blame

We just don't have the right accent no no

All we wanted to do was to socialize

Oh you know it's a shame

I was always getting the blame

All we wanted to do was to socialize

Oh you know it's a shame

How we always get the blame

Sweaty girls and damp motels

Is where I'm gonna stay

Cause now I see what it's all about

I didn't at the old school tie

Don't worry we had no fun waiting

For the all night bus home

Too bad my regional tongue

Gave us away again
