An acorn fell from a tree
And try to bop me in the head
I said to the acorn
"Is it something that I said?"
I'm a just practicing my diplomacy
Everything is everything
And it's alright with me
A man stepped on my toe
And I say "Oh, pardon me"
I'm just practicing my diplomacy
I'm put on hold on the phone
For what seems like an eternity
The phone is disconnected
But that's alright with me
Won't somebody just throw me a bone
So I can chew the thing alone
Won't somebody allow me to roam
So I can get on safely home
Never in my day
Have I seen so much in my way
I'm just a dodging bullets everywhere I turn
If it wasn't for this losin'
I'd be winnin' every day
And make my diplomatic ways something to learn!
Well, I go in to cash a check
So I can buy a fern
The bank is out of money
And besides it ain't my turn
I'm very diplomatic
As I wait to get my bread
The lady wants to see ID
Is it something that I said?
Won't somebody let me catch a break
I've taken 'bout all that I can take
Won't somebody just throw me crumb
Or sing a song that I can hum
People talking to themselves walking around
Pollutin' the air with that cell phone sound
I'm very diplomatic, I pretend that I don't hear
Hey, I know all their secrets
But they have nothing to fear
Won't somebody just rattle my cage?
At least we'd be on the same page
Won't somebody just cut me some slack?
Or change my tire with their jack
Never in my day have I seen so much in my way
I'm just a dodging bullet everywhere I turn
If it wasn't for this losin'
I'd be winnin' every day
And make my diplomatic ways something to learn!
Won't somebody just get in the zone?
Won't somebody just pay back a loan?
Won't somebody just soften the tone?
So I can you hear that Casey when she moan
