That’s right, you heard the man. Surrender and rejoice! You
have no other choice!!!
Everyone
In Love With the Wrong Person
Margolis, Rosler
excuse me one and all here at this lovely gathering
I return to you from years of work in solitude
so many faces I remember from some years ago
I stand here once again
and bring you urgent news my friends
remember when I propped this soapbox up
and said "Beware!"
"All you lovers must now
must heed my warning very well!
from observing couples in the past and presently
I see that over sweet mankind
someone has cast this wicked spell"
everyone in love with the wrong person
everyone in love with the wrong person
surrender and rejoice, you have no other choice, so
everyone in love with the wrong person
truth go marching on
that day I cast an incantation
that reversed the spell
so one and all were free to find that perfect one
I left you all here changing partners joyfully
but what I see here now quite frankly
has me really stunned with
(Chorus)
now I find this news both maddening
and yet liberating
there’s no winning now
we’ve all been cast as fools
I say we all give up at once!
now let’s all have faith at once!
and dance! play ball!
and everyone into the pool
(Chorus)
along my travels
I once met an ancient mystic
spouting drunken ramblings
but to one phrase he did stick
he cried "I would never waste a minute
on a hopeless cause!"
but one hundred years had passed
from the last time he was kissed, now
(Chorus)
