Table Manners - Kid Creole And The Coconuts

When a pretty girl meet a handsome guy

And she bring him home for a little bite

When it’s understood that the food is good

And the night is young, and another would

Then he must oblige

(Then he must oblige)

If the pretty girl has it figured right

And the handsome guy has an appetite

She provide the plate, she provide the tail

When she give the wine, she will take the cake

Then he must oblige

(Then he must oblige)

Where’s your table manners?

When a handsome guy doesn’t want dessert

Then a pretty girl has her feelings hurt

If it’s understood the confection’s good

And she offer more than she really should

Then he must oblige

(Then he must oblige)

Then the handsome guy get a chance to sleep

You can bet your life if he doesn’t rise

She will wake him up when it’s breakfast time

Then he must oblige

(Then he must oblige)
