“Excuse me Mr.
But isn't that your oil in the sea?
And the pollution in the air Mr.
Whose could that be?So excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name,
Mr. like you.”

“You call me Mr. Pitiful;
Baby that's my name now, oh.
They call me Mr. Pitiful;

Ooh, they call me Mr. Pitiful;
Cause I lost someone just like you, now.”
