Searching for words I fumbled and stumbled Incoherently I mumbled Eager to share the repartee Trying too hard, too desperately Now I know what I should have said It really would have knocked 'em dead They would have thought what a clever chap If I'd come out with that But it's too late unfortunately The only one listening now Is me

L'esprit de l'escalier
Searching for words I fumbled and stumbled Incoherently I mumbled Eager to share the repartee Trying too hard, too desperately Now I know what I should have said It really would have knocked 'em dead They would have thought what a clever chap If I'd come out with that But it's too late unfortunately The only one listening now Is me
