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 were not to blame
We just don't have the right accent  no  no

All we wanted to do was to socialize

Oh  you know it's a shame

I was always getting the blame

All we wanted to do was to socialize

Oh  you know it's a shame

How we always get the blame

Sweaty girls and damp motels
Is where I'm gonna stay

Cause now I see what it's all about

I didn't at the old school tie

Don't worry  we had no fun waiting
For the all night bus home

Too bad my regional tongue

Gave us away again
