The King of Bedside Manor Lyrics

You know he's not the kind of man who likes to see the world around him

 Crumble to a ball around his feet.

 So he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well prepared,

 he's the most peculiar man you'll ever meet.

 

 [Chorus]

 You know he's not the king of Bedside Manor.

 He's not the Tom Jones that lives next door.

 He's not the king of Bedside Manor.

 He hardly even lives there anymore.

 

 He says excuse me, I hope you don't mind

 that I followed you into this shop

 but I couldn't help but notice that riding crop

 Sticking out of your haversack,

 Um, I wouldn't mind riding you bareback.

 He's subtle on the dancefloor and he's suave around the bar

 He's a quickdraw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star.

 You know he was quite a singer, quite an actor,

 quite some time ago.

 He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime tv show.

 

 [Chorus]

 

 Well he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn

 Just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone

 From the house next door to his house on the lane,

 He consoles himself that he's got his health and he knows he can't complain.

 

 [Chorus]

 

 He's not the King of Bedside Manor

 He's not the King of Bedside Manor

 Hardly even lives there anymore.

 

 Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto

 

 He's not the king, he's not the king, he's not the king of Bedside Manor.
