Sad Poetry

(album: Cats & Dogs - 1981)

Just too sad, just too sad

Shakespeare wrote some plays
Many years ago
Some of them he called comedy
But wouldn't you know
All of the heroes got killed
I think it's funny

So I don't wanna hear any more sad poetry
Another word, I don't want you to show it to me
I don't care if it's good, I don't care if it's bad
It's just too sad

If you wrote something tragic
Don't you put it into verse
I know it rhymes with magic
That makes it even worse
The one who suffers is me
You think it's funny

So I don't wanna hear any more sad poetry
Another word, I don't want you to show it to me
I don't care if it's good, I don't care if it's bad
It's just too sad

Just too sad, just too sad

Shakespeare wrote some plays
Many years ago
Some of them he called comedy
But wouldn't you know
All of the heroes got killed
I think it's funny

So I don't wanna hear any more sad poetry
Another word, I don't want you to show it to me
I don't care if it's good, I don't care if it's bad
It's just too sad

Just too sad, just too sad
Just too sad, just too sad
