Barenaked Ladies - The King of Bedside Manor LYRICS

You know hes not the kind of man who likes to see the world around him
crumble to a ball around his feet.
So hes always ready hes alwlays set hes always well prepared
hes the most peculiar man youd care to meet.

*chorus*
You know hes not the king of Bedside Manor.
Hes not the Tom Jones that lives next door.
Hes not the king of Bedside Manor.
He hardly even lives there anymore.

He says excuse me I hope you dont mind that I followed you into this shop
But I couldnt help but notice that riding crop
Sticking out of your haversack,
Um, I wouldnt mind riding you bareback.
Hes subtle on the dancefloor and hes suave around the bar
Hes a quick draw with a lighter,
hes 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.

*chorus*

Well 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 that hes got his health and he know he cant complain.

*chorus*

Hes not the king of Bedside Manor
Hes not the king of Bedside Manor
Hardly even lives there anymore.

Domo Arigato Mr. Robato

Hes not the king, hes not the king, hes not the king of Bedside Manor
