[Verse 1]
He'll pick a moment, he'll take a chance
He'll invite us all to a fatal dance
Such a man, and such a mess
It's not an easy guess

[Verse 2]
I know that look, I know that face
I'd better get ready to hunt and trace
Bit-by-bit, and on-and-on
And then he's gone

[Chorus]
Oh Lord! When? How?
Such a major mess
It's not an easy guess

[Verse 3]
Second or two, he might appear
He'll just take a second or less, and he'll disappear
Such a man, and such a mess
It's not an easy guess

[Chorus]
Oh Lord! When? How?
Such a major mess
It's not an easy guess
