Can't we be a little more discriminating, Joe?
I mean, the face is really something else
But listen to her crow, it wouldn't work out
No common language
Quite a difference
So mid-Atlantic
Can't we find a little more invigorating place?
I mean, the music really sends me
But the talk is out of space
It makes me nervous
So undirected
My own confusion
So mid-Atlantic
Mid-Atlantic
Big talk, small talk
So mid-Atlantic
There's the kind of person that you really ought to chase
A simple how are you and right away
You know they're from some place
Not unspecific
Firmly rooted
Well established
Not mid-Atlantic
Big talk, small talk
So mid-Atlantic
I couldn't face it
I couldn't face it
I couldn't face it
I couldn't face it
I couldn't face it
I couldn't face it
So mid-Atlantic
Can't we be a little more discriminating, Joe?
I mean, you've heard one mid-Atlantic word
You know you've heard of all
What elocution
So mid-Atlantic
Is there some academy
A thousand miles at sea
Where I can learn to be conversive
I make no apology
It's not my favorite
I don't enjoy it
But why fight it?
So mid-Atlantic
Big talk, small talk
So mid-Atlantic
Big talk, small talk
So mid-Atlantic
I couldn't be singin'
More sunlight
I spent a hundred years
On an omega
From as far back

Something that I return to
