Once there was a time When my mind lay on higher things And once there was a time I could find pretty words to sing But now, well now I find It saves time to say what you mean I know it seems so unrefined But it¿s time to let off some steam Oh come on! Everybody knows that No means Yes Just like glasses come free on the N.H. s But the more I look through them the more I see I¿m becoming more like Alfie Once there was a time When a kind word could be enough And once there was a time I could blindfold myself with love But not now - now I¿m resigned To the kind of life I had reserved For other guys less smart than I Y¿know - the kind who will always end up with the girls And besides Everybody knows that No means Yes Just like glasses come free on the N.H. s But the more I look through them the more I see I¿m becoming more like Alfie Oh come on!
