He Scrapes The Dirt From His Nails With A Stick.
He Makes A Big Pile In A Pail On The Sink.
Who Was He?
Oh, I'll Never Tell.
He Has Not Got A Thing Left To Sell.
Ooh, The Remnants Of Percy Bass.

He Glued The Newspaper To The Wall.
Skeleton Closets Are Down The Hall.
Nobody Knows Him Like I Do.
I Remember When There Were,
I Remember When There Were Things He Could Do.

Some Things Are Not Made To Last.
Ooh, The Remnants Of Percy Bass.
Some Things Are Things Like This:
He Could Catch A Rabbit With One Hand.
He Could Build A Castle Out Of Sand. He Was
A Handsome Man.
He Gave A Tender Kiss.

Nobody Knows About The Fancy Shows You Starred In
When You Were Seventeen.
I'll Never Tell About Your Secret Life
To A Magazine.

I Can Remember When You Were The Shallow Hero.
It Was So Long Ago When You Were
Everybody's Shining Star.
You Were A Daydream.

But Now,
He Needs Someone To Hold His Hand.
Nothing Has Quite Worked Out How He Had Planned.
I Try To Help Him How I Can.
But He Has Forgotten,
He Has Forgotten Who I Am.

Remember,
Some Things Are Not Made To Last.
Ooo, The Remnants Of Percy Bass.
Some Things Are Not Made To Last.
Ooo, The Remnants Of Percy Bass.
