The King Of Bedside Manor

Barenaked Ladies

Gordon

You know, he's not the kind of man who likes to see
The world around him crumble to a ball around his feet
But he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well prepared
He's the most peculiar man you'll ever meet

You know, he's not the King of Bedside Manor
He's not the Tom Jones who lives next door
He's not the King of Bedside Manor
He hardly even lives there any more

He says "excuse me, I hope you don't mind, but I followed you into this shop
And I couldn't help but noticing that riding crop
Sticking out of your haversack
Well, I wouldn't mind riding you bareback"

He's subtle on the dance floor and he's suave around the bar
He's a quick draw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star
You know, he was quite a singer, quite an actor, quite some time ago
He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime TV show

You know, he's not the King of Bedside Manor
He's not the Tom Jones who lives next door, no, not anymore
He's not the King of Bedside Manor, yeah
He hardly even lives there any more

You know, he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn
Just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone
From the house next door to his house on the lane
He consoles himself, he's got his health but he knows he can't complain

You know, he's not the King of Bedside Manor
He's not the Tom Jones who lives next door, no, not anymore, no way
He's not the King of Bedside Manor
But he hardly even lives there any more

He's not the King of Bedside Manor (he's not the King of Bedside Manor)
He's not the King of Bedside Manor (he's not the King)
He hardly even lives there any more
Stix!

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo
Domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo
Domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo, domo

He's not the King, he's not the King, he's not the King of Bedside Manor
