The Unfortunate Gent by Ed Drewett Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama, I just killed a man, I ain't fakin' like Freddie
Goddamn, I just killed a man
There I was, minding my own business
When he just threw his stupid self right in front of my van
Oh, If there's anyone can help me, you can
So how do we plan disposing of the body?
I'm too young to go to jail, mom
Ain't I been a good son since I left college?

[Pre-Chorus]
If the cops come knocking in the middle of the night
You know what to do, you know what to say
That I was tucked up, dreaming of a better life
Mama, don't let them lock me away, no, no

[Verse 2]
Mommy, I just killed a man, I ain't fakin' like Freddie
Goddamn, I actually just killed a man
Well there I was, minding my own business
When he just ran right into the knife in my hand
Oh, If there's anyone can help me, you can
So how do we plan disposing of the body?
I'm too young to go to jail, Mom
Ain't I been a good son since I finished college?
[Pre-Chorus]
If the cops come knocking in the middle of the night
You know what to do, you know what to say
That I was tucked up, dreaming of a better life
Mama, don't let them lock me away, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I'm just an unfortunate gentleman
I'm just an unfortunate gentleman (Yeah)
I guess I'm an unfortunate gentleman

[Bridge]
But I didn't do it
Well, I didn't mean to do it
You've always been so good to me, Ma, and I blew it
But I don't suppose it would be too much to ask
If they could find your prints on the wheel of the car?
If they could find your prints on the grip of the knife?
'Cause I just can't imagine goin' down for life

[Chorus]
I'm just an unfortunate gentleman
(Oh no no, goin' down for life)
I'm just an unfortunate gentleman (Yeah, baby)
I'm just an unfortunate gentleman
I'm just an unfortunate gentleman
(You gotta help me now, oh no, no, no, no)
[Outro]
You're next, sunshine
