Lyrics

I Didn’t Get the Memo

I didn’t get the memo.
I didn’t get the scoop.
Nobody ever told me.
I wasn’t in the loop.
I must have lost my focus.
I must have missed my cue.
And now I don’t know where I am
or what I’m supposed to do.

I wasn’t in the picture.
I wasn’t in the frame.
I wasn’t at the meeting.
I wasn’t on my game.
I wasn’t up to speed.
I wasn’t in the know.
I didn’t differentiate
my ass from my elbow.

I overslept this morning
and then I missed the boat.
The train has left the station
and that was all she wrote.
The message was deleted.
The manuscript was lost.
It must have fallen through the cracks.
Our wires must have crossed.

I must have dropped a stitch.
I must have lost the thread.
I didn’t catch the drift
of whatever you just said.
My thoughts were disconnected.
My mind was not in gear.
I guess this just was not my night.
It just was not my year.

I didn’t pay attention
to the writing on the wall.
I didn’t heed the warning.
I guess I dropped the ball.
Now I’m not a nervous Nellie
and I’m not a doubting Thomas,
but I didn’t see this coming.
Don’t feel much like Nostradamus

‘cause I didn’t get the memo.
I didn’t get the scoop.
I wasn’t on the list.
I wasn’t in the loop.
And now I haven’t got a prayer
and I haven’t got a clue.
What the fuck is this?
And who the hell are you?
