Something I Said

Pardon me, Miss, is this seat taken
I know I needn't tell you my name
Have you ever been kissed by an industrialist
Once you have your life won't be the same

You'll like it a lot on my ninety foot yacht
We can sail where the whales are all dead
But you're turning your head
It must have been something I said

Listen to this, I'm not mistaken
I've got factories all over the planet
That take nuclear waste and season to taste
Since I've figured out a way to can it

You'll be tickled pink by a coat made of mink
Or Siberian tiger instead
But you'd rather be dead
It must've been something I said

CHORUS
Don't leave me baby
Leaving me doesn't pay
You can still become a billionaire
If you'll just see things my way, way, way oh way oh

Please don't resist, 'cause this is takin'
Much longer than business should last
All my strip mining pals are outside with their gals
And I'm sure that they're having a blast

We can leave in my Porsche with the porpoise-lined floor
Surely you'll be impressed by my bread
But you're leaving instead
It must have been something I said

I must insist one kiss will waken
Desire for more than you need
As we stroll through the rain, either acid or plain
You will surely be touched by my greed

We can waltz by the stumps in my rain forest dumps
Now that all of the natives have fled
But you're running in dread
It must have been something I said

CHORUS

Why are you going a way
Why are you going
Seems everyone's going
They're going so far, far a way
