Standing On Ceremony

Remember your manners
will you please take your hat off
Your mother is dying
listen to her cough
We were always standing on ceremony
We were always standing on ceremony
Can't you show some respect please
although you didn't in real life
Your mother is dying
and I god damn well hope you're satisfied
We were always standing on ceremony
We were always standing on ceremony
So please play another song on that juke box
Please play another pretty sad song for me
And of that phone rings, tell them that you haven't seen me
If the phone rings, tell them you haven't seen me for weeks
and this one here's on me
Standing on ceremony, standing on ceremony
Standing on ceremony, standing on ceremony
Standing on ceremony, you were always standing on ceremony
