Lyrics

Consolation Prize

A thousand violins will play for you

While you sit and roll your deep blue eyes

A thousand to win, a thousand you lose

But I'll be your consolation prize

All you do is sigh

I wore my fringe like Roger McGuinn's

I wore it hoping to impress

So frightfully camp, it made you laugh

Tomorrow I'll buy myself a dress

How ludicrous

I don't mean to pry but didn't that guy

Crumple up your face a thousand times?

He made you cry

I'll be your consolation prize

Although I know

I'll never be man enough for you

I'll never be man enough for you

I'll never be man enough for you

I'll never be man enough for you

I'll never be man enough for you

I'll never be man enough for you

For you
