Standing On Ceremony Lyrics - Reed Lou

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 

(Standing, on ceremony) X6
