Mercy (Chris Jonat)     All the children met   In day cares and nightclubs   Discussed finger paints and body rubs   They embraced it all     It hasn't happened yet   But pretty soon they will fall flat   Alcohol will take the edge off that   Ease the pain if not the fall     You gotta take off your hat, force a bow   Wipe that sweat right off your brow   Look her in the eye and try for mercy     And so the story grows   I got kind of wired and   I drove the snakes from Ireland   And then I broke for lunch     If you want a small nose   Give honesty a try   But if you gotta lie   You may as well lie a bunch     Hello, how are you? I like you plenty well   If you get bored here, there's always the hotel   We can order in, and turn off the ringer   And you can have your pick, the song or the singer
