lyrics

How could she be so vicious?
Where did it all go wrong?
What's with America's sweetheart?
What's the story?
Sing the song...

Suzy's got an Electra complex
Just in time for the holidays
What she lacks in tact and style
She also lacks in turn of phrase
Jaded, jaded, slightly foxed and faded
I had too much to feel last night
Now I don't care

I've forgotten the punchline so the joke cannot end
Now we'll never find out who it's meant to offend
But there's naught disallowed by the indulgent crowd
Who prolong this unfortunate trend

Jinny's learning to play the piano
For her latest insurance scam
Now she hits the gym so she can
Carry a Steinway on the lam

Jaded, jaded, somewhat sexy Sadied
Anyone who had a heart would soon give up

People go on TV to prove it's worth it
To prove that they are alive
To prove that they're on TV

Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha
I don't get it
I don't get it
It's shaped like humour, but I can't see the schtick
I don't get it
