lyrics

Lucille went to sing downtown
At the Lightbulb Club
The boys wanted them some
Lucille love
All the Brendans catcallin' at her vulgar
Through the whole damn set
Lucille won't come back I bet

This is why we can't have nice things
This is why we can't have nice things

The Arab eyeballed Lucille
On the city bus
She sure don't like it
But she sure don't fuss
He took her hand, he said
"Lucille, won't you marry me?"
He grazed her thigh on bended knee
With no ring

This is why we can't have nice things
This is why we can't have nice things

The party was callow, rich
And Lucille was there
Satin dress and blonde of hair
Then some Shitbird had to
Spike her drink
Lucille's due in one month, I think

This is why we can't have nice things
This is why we can't have nice things

They done her wrong
They done her seven times
By Chad's count

This is why we can't have nice things
This is why we can't have nice things

They done her wrong
They done her seven times
By Chad's count
Fuck Chad

This girl's no fiction
And her struggle is real
And if you see her
Give my love to Lucille
