MISS MANNERS, MISS MANNERS

CHORUS:
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.

1: 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.
CHORUS:

2: 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:

BRIDGE:
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?

3: 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:
