lyrics

MR. SYMPATHY

Hey Mr. Sympathy
Can you save a little bit for me
I know you like to keep your ledger clean
Squeaky, squeaky, well ain’t you sweet

Hey Mr. Sympathy
Go on and make a little bit for me
I’m counting 1-2-1-2-1-3
Look at all that you take from me

But you never give me your sympathy
No you never give me your sympathy
You never give me your sympathy
Go on and blow your nose on my sleeve

Hey, Mr. Sympathy
Go on, stir a little sugar in your tea
Put a pillow beneath your feet
’Cause you ain’t gonna take no more from me

No, you’re never gonna get my sympathy
No, you’re never gonna get my sympathy
You’re never gonna get my sympathy
Go on and blow your nose on your own sleeve
