Bless you for your hit parade I guess we had it made for a night Thank you for that moment's flash Before our hopes were dashed And the paper fade It was nothing like we thought it'd be Our meeting history on a wire Thank you for your gilded age Your swinging barricade I nearly lost my head Let's buy a bandy-legged prostitute For our fashion shoot She'll be all right Let's buy a bandy-legged prostitute And he can play the flute All night Waiting to be frozen Tinkling in your gla** How sweetly you can drink me How briefly I'll last Thank you for the desperate thought You were so overwrought You had to just lie down Thank you for your hit parade Barbaric serenade Sung through razor teeth It was nothing like we thought it'd be Our meeting history on a wire Thank you for your gilded age Your swinging barricade Couldn't lock us out
