Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
You come on strong telling everyone
About your latest role
How you saved the movie, stole the show
So you've been told
And if you have no time for all your offers
You'll see that I get called
And if you have no time for all your men
You'll see that I get balled
Well I don't expect humility
But what about some good old
Dishonest modesty
You say that you can understudy
All the other parts
That you can write a song that will make us cry
And touches all our hearts
And you can House and Garden
Vogue and Glamour, Mademoiselle
Well, I know you can Bitch and Screw
And Penthouse just as well
No I don't expect humility
But what about some good old
Dishonest modesty
You try to be unique
But somehow something's wrong
Your flower childish vision of life
Cannot last too long
You're over thirty and underweight
Though you call yourself petite
And you hang around with all the clowns
Who think they're so elite
Well I don't expect humility
But what about some good old
Dishonest modesty
No I don't expect humility
But what about some good old
Dishonest modesty
