9 Out of 10

 

9 Out of 10

 

We’re missing 9 out of 10,

And we’ll say it again,

9 out of 10

That never had a when,

9 out of 10 never having been,

9 out of ten have gone missing friend,

It’s a great big mystery

That no one is believing me…

Oh no!

I’ve lost them again…

 

When desperation quails ya,

Ya gotta make a new plan.

When the old lies fails ya,

Try a new one on your clan.

When the truth always trails ya,

Try saying this deadpan:

“We don’t know what happened,

9 out of 10 will understand…”

 

We’re missing 9 out of 10,

And we’ll say it again,

9 out of 10

That never had a when,

9 out of 10 never having been,

9 out of ten have gone missing friend,

It’s a great big mystery

That no one is believing me…

Oh no!

I’ve lost them again…

 

Now you get you on your TV,

And try not to say what you say.

Make it all sound easy,

To make the newsmen go away.

You may come off as cheesy,

But that’s the game that you play.

I’ll give you 9 out 10,

Years you’ll have to pay…

 

We’re missing 9 out of 10,

And we’ll say it again,

9 out of 10

That never had a when,

9 out of 10 never having been,

9 out of ten have gone missing friend,

It’s a great big mystery

That no one is believing me…

Oh no!

I’ve lost them again…
