Dishonest Modesty lyrics

You come on strong telling everyone

About your latest role

How you saved the movie, stole the show

So you've been told

And if you have no time for all your offers

You'll see that I get called

And if you have no time for all your men

You'll see that I get balled

Well, I don't expect humility

But what about some good old

Dishonest modesty?

You say that you can understudy

All the other parts

That you can write a song that will make us cry

And touches all our hearts

And you can House and Garden

Vogue and Glamour, Mademoiselle

Well, I know you can Bitch and Screw

And Penthouse just as well

No, I don't expect humility

But what about some good old

Dishonest modesty?

You try to be unique

But somehow something's wrong

Your flower childish vision of life

Cannot last too long

'Cause you're over thirty and underweight

Though you call yourself petite

And you hang around with all the clowns

You think they're so elite

Well, I don't expect humility

But what about some good old

Dishonest modesty?

Well, I don't expect humility

But what about some good old

Dishonest modesty?

Well, I don't expect humility

But what about some good old

Dishonest modesty?
