We are like kids in a play
Set in the Victorian Age
We only know what to say
Because we practiced at home
or we rehearsed on the bus
Next to kids just like us
Who couldn't help but think
we were weird.
(ha, ha, ha...Mmmmmmm)
And I would open my mouth
And you would cue me
I'd start to speak of the South
Like I'd been there
and you would forget yourself
As you mouthed my words
I think it's your turn to leave
and throw a fit
And I will mumble and grieve in an aside
It brings the crowd to their feet
and almost makes you cry
What if no one comes?
What if we get bored?
Will you fit my clothes?
We should switch roles
We are like kids in a play
Set in the Victorian Age
We only know what to say because we
practiced at home
Or we rehearsed on the bus
Next to kids just like us
Who couldn't help but think,
they couldn't help it
I thought it went more cleverer:

(Mmmmm....Yeaaah) (Ah, uh-ah, ah ah-uh, ah uh-uh-uh-ah-ah-ah)
