Give The Kid A Break Lyrics

Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Don't know why I'm down here
Don't reserve to roast or bake
I'm fighting off slanderous allegations
Why don't you give the kid a break?
Don't you think maybe we could talk this over?
You're a reasonable man
Could we discuss my grave situation?
I'm a miserable man, and I'm in the frying pan

Give the kid a break

"Give me one good reason why I should."

Give the kid a break

All right, all right, so I made a few mistakes
But listen, for heaven's sake!

"Watch your language, Kid."

OK, OK, don't get hot

"Don't question my judgement
He only reaped what he sowed
He cast his pearls before swine
And that's good enough for me
I don't want to talk it over
Even tho' I'm a reasonable man
Sonny, from over here
Looks like you're in no position to bargain You're a convicted man
You're right in the frying pan"

Give the kid a break

Please give me a break

Give the kid a break

"Nah ah, I don't think so, man"

Come on, you know I got what it takes
Can't you give me a break?

"Sure thing kid, when hell freezes over"

Ok, don't give the kid a break

Hey you guys, I thought you were on my side

Don't give the kid a break

Yeah, well thanks a lot, pals!
Listen boss, maybe we can make a little deal
Isn't there anything I can say?
Or some kind of fine I can pay?
Anything?
Don't know why I'm down here
Must be something I said and I'm sorry
Or some small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
It might be a small imperfection
It might be an infection or a clear case of misdirection, yeah
It must be a small imperfection
In my soul or in my head
Give the kid a break
