Modus Operandi
Lyrics by Hal Pollock
I met this girl the other day
She didn’t like my style
Outright refused to kiss me
Said I’m such an imbecile
“I know your modus operandi
The way you do the things you do
Go out and find some other girl
I’ve met a million guys like you”
What is a modus operandi?
How did I get me one of these?
She said I love ‘em and I leave ‘em
It’s like a terminal disease
I didn’t know I had a modus
And an operandi too
Don’t want a modus operandi
I just want a kiss or two
Modus operandi
It’s a term that lawyers use
It’s the kiss of death with women
Livin’ in the House of Blues
If you get a modus operandi
It could be the death of you
‘Cause a Modus operandi
Is relationship Code Blue
I went to see my doctor
Asked him what I should do
He said my modus operandi
It isn’t like a case of flu
He said there’s just one way to fix it
It will cause a lot of pain
Because it’s clear I have a screw loose
He has to drill into my brain
So you see I have a problem
A sticky wicket tried and true
‘Cause with a modus operandi
There’s only so much you can do
If you find out that you have one
They’ll have to operate on you
Because a modus operandi
Is sure to kill your Hoochie Koo
There’s still time to change your ways
I’m recommending that you do
Then that girl that you’ve been chasing
Can see a different side of you
Modus operandi
It’s a term that lawyers use
It’s the kiss of death with women
I’m livin’ in the House of Blues
If you ever get a modus
It could be the death of you
‘Cause a Modus operandi
Is relationship Code Blue
