This Is How Things Are Now

from The House On The Dancefloor by L. Mounts

lyrics

Standing outside the theatre in the blistering cold
It's just me and another guy roughly fifty years old
He's telling me all these stories and dropping facts about Mr. E
Well after an hour of conversation he finally introduces himself to me

He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin" puts out his hand
"Man, I'm really excited to see the band"
He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin, how do you do?
Is the c-c-c-c-cold getting to you?"

He's setting up deals with me, telling me where to go
He's moving his arms around like a madman throughout the whole show
He whispers in my ear telling me the name of every song
I'm just enjoying myself, just playing along

He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin" puts out his hand
"Man, I'm really excited to see the band"
He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin, how do you do?
Is the c-c-c-c-cold getting to you?"

He's telling me to stay after, says there'll be a third encore
Well, whether there was or was not, I couldn't stand with him anymore
He's just a little too eccentric, he's well-mannered but he's a little insane
Taking everything so seriously, oh it's oh so strange

He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin" puts out his hand
"Man, I'm really excited to see the band"
He says "I'm Mr. Hal Melvin, how do you do?
Is the c-c-c-c-cold getting to you?"

I say, "Mr. Hal Melvin, it's really been fun
But I gotta get home 'cause I got work in the morn'"
I say, "Mr. Hal Melvin, it's really been fun
But I gotta get home 'cause I got work in the morn'"
