Artist/Band: Lou Reed
Lyrics for Song: Standing On Ceremony
Lyrics for Album: Growing Up In Public [1980]



Remember your manners

will you please take your hat off

Your mother is dying

listen to her cough



We were always standing on ceremony

We were always standing on ceremony



Can't you show some respect please

although you didn't in real life

Your mother is dying

and I god damn well hope you're satisfied



We were always standing on ceremony

We were always standing on ceremony



So please play another song on that juke box

Please play another pretty sad song for me

And if that phone rings, tell them that you haven't seen me

If that last phone rings

tell them that you haven't seen me for weeks

and this one here's on me



Standing on ceremony, standing on ceremony

Standing on ceremony, standing on ceremony

Standing on ceremony, you were always standing on ceremony

(Standing, on ceremony)

(Standing, on ceremony)

(Standing, on ceremony)

(Standing, on ceremony)

(Standing, on ceremony)

(Standing, on ceremony)

...
