Silent Tree Music - Song Lyrics 

( Miss Manners song lyrics:
Martha Stewart, Dear Abby, Ann Landers,
etiquette, social grace, prim & proper )
MISS MANNERS, MISS MANNERS
Copyright © 2000 - MickTerry.com

You always know the etiquette
fit for every social game.
You're always prim & proper.
You are such the perfect dame.
I don't know how I would behave
if I didn't take along
your holy book of do's & don'ts
so I don't do nothing wrong.

    MISS MANNERS, MISS MANNERS,
    please tell me what to do.
    MISS MANNERS, MISS MANNERS,
    I'm coming all unglued.
    In a world that's so unsure,
    I feel so insecure.
    MISS MANNERS, MISS MANNERS,
    I know I can depend on you.

I know it's such a big mistake
if you're caught while breaking wind.
But if you're in the bathroom,
is it that much of a sin?
Does belching at the kitchen sink
really need a social grace?
Or yawning in your own soft bed?
Isn't that the perfect place?

    CHORUS

        Have you ever had occasion
        to question your own taste?
        Have you had a situation
        where your dictates were a waste?
        Have you had the strange sensation
        that you didn't know what to do?
        Where it all boiled down to a moment in time
        and you're stuck without a clue?

Do you & Martha Stewart sit
with Ann Landers over tea
at Dear Abby's house, discussing rules
for the common folk like me?
I would invite the four of you
for a light & casual snack,
but I'm afraid I'd do it wrong
& you never would come back.

    CHORUS
