Lyrics : Too Bad/Every Picture Tells a Story (Live)
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 street
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 we're not to blame
We just don't have the right accent. No, no
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh, you know its a shame I was always getting the blame
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh, you know its a shame how we always get the blame
We never got a chance to sing
We were quite polite with one invite
To keep us off the street
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 we're not to blame
We just don't have the right accent. No, no
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh, you know its a shame I was always getting the blame
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh, you know its a shame how we always get the blame
