Paul
Simon Version
(Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover):
The problem is all inside your head
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I’d like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
She said it’s really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
CHORUS:
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To make you smile again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don’t we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning
You’ll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
CHORUS |
Dave Hall Version
(Fifty Ways to Get Past the Front Desk):
The problem is you can’t pay the bill
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I’d like to help you – you can get it
All for free
There must be fifty ways
To get past the front desk.
She said it’s really not my habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning
Won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To get past the front desk.
Fifty ways to get past the front desk
CHORUS:
You say: Send me a bill, Jill
Be back at two, Lou
Just look straight ahead, Ned,
And get yourself free.
Say: Forgot my checks, Rex,
Send the bill to my Ex, Tex
Gotta go pee, Lee,
Just get yourself free.
Doc said it grieved him so
To see me in such pain;
That he would do anything
To fix my smile again.
I said I appreciate that
And remembered once again
About the fifty ways
I said I need this done
No matter what the fee
And I believe Monday morning
Will be dandy – Count on me
And then I kissed him
‘Cause I realized I’d get it all for free
There must be fifty ways
To get past the front desk
Fifty ways to get past the front desk
CHORUS
