Not Being Invited by Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Michael Shore is a frightful bore
And his wife is much the same
Impolite in course, a self-righteous force of will
Always shrill and quick to blame
Any girl whose world-view differs from his own
If I see him at a function, well, I leave him well alone
So when some of my chums have been invited to his 'do
I thought, "Why am I not allowed to go there to," because:
[Chorus]
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
[Verse 2]
Martin Killick is a frightful cynic
But that's the best of him, as I'm much the same
If there's a seat at the clinic, he's likely to fill it
Because that's his, you know, rather, his game
His dinner affairs are the hardest to bear
They're awkward and awful and stodgy and lame
I never want to go anywhere near there
But wait, is that the guest list? Where's my ruddy name?
[Chorus]
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
[Bridge]
Where's my invite? Where's my invite? Where's my invite?
I wish to decline
Where's my invite? Where's my invite? Where's my invite?
I wish to officially decline
[Chorus]
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To away-days with people I hate
I hate not being invited
To social functions with coves who are anxious
I hate not being invited
To anywhere that I might be able to complain about once I've been there
I hate not being invited
To doomed weddings that end up in punch-ups
I hate not being invited
To funerals for people who I'm not that keen on
I hate not being invited
To inspirational lectures. What?
I hate not being invited
To anywhere that won't have me
Michael Shore is a frightful bore
And his wife is much the same
Impolite in course, a self-righteous force of will
Always shrill and quick to blame

If I see him at a function, well, I leave him well alone
So when some of my chums have been invited to his 'do
I thought, "Why am I not allowed to go there to," because:
[Chorus]
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
I hate not being invited
To parties I wouldn't want to go to anyway
