Kempt Lyrics by Tripod

0

My life was completely astrous when I met you (Not "disastrous")
So gruntled with this life I thought I had (Opposite of "disgruntled")
How could a love so perfect be so vincible? (Not "invincible")
I could have sworn that you were scrutable
My judgement was so bad. ("Bad", opposite of "unbad".)

But you were kempt, so kempt
Everything about you was seemly
You were kempt, so kempt
Of course I'd be bedevilled
So gusting and so shevelled
Were you

It started out so wholesome, so pure
Tell 'em about it
We engaged in speakable acts
Nothing too saucy
Although we had hibitions, we were totally toward
You should have seen it coming
But I'd always had a tendency to under react

Our love is defunct
When it once was funct
You've debunked all the myths
You had previously bunked

When you were kempt, so kempt
Everything about you was seemly
You were kempt, so kempt
Of course he'd be bedevilled
So gusting and so shevelled
Were you

You always seemed so honest and so sidious
You were an angel

I checked your phone bill, it was full of crepancies
Everything was in order!

But I found out one evening, you'd been creet
Aha!
When you and your ex, booked a motel cognito

Your ex! Your ex!
It was a personal attack!
You were going out with prefixes
Behind my back!

(Yon bursts into tears)

Awww... poor little fella
Look what's happened to the little fella now, huh!
His heart's completely roken
Although he does hang out with serious lappers, you know, the kind of lutty type

Gatesy... this song's not actually about just taking the first letter off words
What? I mean, hat?
Gatesy, this song's about... it's about prefixes! All right? Like "in" or "ex" or "un". If you find an "un" in a word and you take that out

As in, as in... you're not very "fny"?
I... yeah... I think a better example is, you're a "ct"

(Long pause)

Hey!

Let's have another crack at it, shall we?

He asked you questions, no more terrogation
He acted, and he umped dumped you straight away
You're free, enjoy your newfound carceration
You're the ex I'd always pected
I'll never member you again
You always derstood me anyway

You sent a liminal message
By cheating with your ex
But I just think you had
A feriority complex

But anyway, I've found someone else

And she is kempt, so kempt
Everything about her is seemly
She is kempt, so fucking kempt!
Her Christian name is "Ingrid"
She lets me call her "Grid"

And she takes off her derpants for me!
