What's that? What's that on the start?
Let's get this straight from the start
Who's that? Who's that? What's his part?
Tell him come back tomorrow and start


(You keep saying) So, what did I say?
(You keep saying) Tell me, what did I say?
I said, "Pardon me" (Ooh)
Pardon me (Ooh)
Pardon me (Please)
Pardon me
I said, come 'round here singing, ooh
let's get this straight from the start


Telling me this is something I don't even understand
Oh, these people 'round here have their own way of thinking
Some of them get angry with the things I've heard
Oh, watch what you're saying, that's not what I'm thinking


(You keep saying) So, what did I say?
(You keep saying) Tell me, what did I say?
I said, "Pardon me" (Ooh)
Pardon me (Ooh)
Pardon me (Please)
Pardon me
Suggest you come 'round here singing, ooh
let's get this straight from the start

No joking me, you better look at what you think of
No joking me, you better look at what you think
I'll just live where I'll live, have ideas
and they're all so old

What's that, what's that repeating part?
Let's get this straight from the start
Who's that? Who's that? What's his part?
Tell him come back tomorrow and start


(You keep saying) So, what did I say?
(You keep saying) Go on, what did I say?
I said, I said, "Pardon me" (Ooh)
Pardon me (Ooh)
Pardon me (Please)
Pardon me (Ooh)

Pardon me (From the start)
Pardon me
I'm telling you come 'round here
'cause I want to get this straight from the start
