[Verse 1]
Too bad we were thrown downstairs
We never got a chance to sing
We were quite polite with one invite
To keep us off the streeet
So we mingled for a minute or two
With the high-class clientele
Then somebody said, "Who invited them?
That crowd of refugees. Get out!"

[Verse 2]
What an insult, to be shown the door
Before we could shake a leg
I was most intrigued by the coloured queen
Leaning on the kitchen door
Then I was ushered with my friends
By the butler who was 12 feet tall
Well let me please explain
'Cause we're not to blame
We just don't have the right accent, no, no
Woo, get out

[Verse 3]
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh, you know its a shame I was always getting the blame
All we wanted to do was to socialize
Oh, you know its a shame how we always get the blame
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 4]
Sweaty girls and damp motels
Is where I'm gonna stay
'Cause now I see what it's all about
I didn't at the old school tie
Don't worry, we had no fun waiting
For the all-night bus home
Too bad my regional tongue
Gave us away again, woo

An English rock band formed in 1969 by the remaining members of Small Ian McLagan (keyboards), Ronnie Lane (bass guitar), and Kenney Jones (drums and percussion). Ronnie Wood (guitar) and Rod Stewart (lead vocals) left the Jeff Beck Group to form the band’s lineup up until the band disbanded in 1974.
