Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All around me (Oo-e-oh)
All around me (Oo-e-oh)
Better watch that man
See him gun in hand
[Verse 2]
No one seems to see (Oo-e-oh)
No one seems to see (Oo-e-oh)
Better watch that man
See him gun in hand
[Verse 3]
What you gonna do next?
What you gonna do now?
Use a Kleenex
[Verse 4]
Wipe out sex, Kleenex
Better than love, Kleenex
John Paul George, Kleenex
Governments use Kleenex
[Verse 5]
Use a Kleenex solve world problems
Better blow your nose right now
[Verse 6]
Maybe is it you? (Oo-e-oh)
Or someone who you know (Oo-e-oh)
Better watch that man
See him gun in hand
[Verse 7]
What you gonna do next?
What you gonna do now?
Use a Kleenex
[Verse 8]
Wipe out sex, Kleenex
Better than love, Kleenex
Trade Unions use Kleenex
Governments use Kleenex, oh yeah
