Lyrics

"I ... feel like ... an idiot!
I was such a ninny-goat.
I've been such a fool, they oughta send me back to school,"
Those were the words that she wrote.

"'Cleaner needed,' said the ad,
And I needed the money bad,
So I showed up .. with my mop and pail in hand.
Shoulda smelled trouble
When he offered to pay double, but instead,
I closed my eyes. swallowed my pride, and
Stripped off my clothes.

"Now I ... feel like ... an idiot!
I'd like to wring that bastard's neck!
I knew better, I swear, and now the cost is mine to bear:
He paid me ... with a bad check.

"Now I feel like an idiot!
He paid me ... with a bad check."
