Plea Bargain by The J Arthur Keenes Band Lyrics

It's startling how many fall
Your drink is short but your order's tall
And stumbling across the hall
If I ask you please don't let me stall

Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh yes

I'm on the right side, but I'm taking it wrong
I'm on the right track, but I'm taking too long
I'm on a treadmill, that old marathon
I keep my head up, but it comes crawling in
I keep my eyes shut, but I see everythin'
I think I missed out, and I don't know where to begin

I never thought I'd feel so proud
To wring excuses out like tow-ow-owls
And say the saddest things out loud
Only to hear how dumb they sound
But you have ways to bring me down
(you've got bells and you've got hounds)
Or turn my sorry life around
And get my story off the ground
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh now
Please say yes, yes oh yes oh yes

You've already got it in the bag
Don't lose the lot, for some old rag
It's nobody's fault, it's just a drag
To open the vault, and raise the flag
