Lyrics

Congenial society is what I’m talkin bout
Folks just seem to natchly coalesce
It comes to this society I can’t seem to work it out
My personal relations are a mess
Who comes to my rescue
Girl you’re my saving grace

refrain:

Everybody, everybody
Likes me better whenever I’m with you
They put up with my density
And all my eccentricity
They treat me just like I’m family
When I show up with you
Everybody, everybody
Likes me better whenever I’m with you
They always make a place for me
Invite me in and cherish me
They never set the dogs on me
(the dogs would even love on me - this world holds no hostility)
When I come round with you
This is not a mystery, it’s plain for anyone to see
Cause Baby when you’re with me well I like me better too

bridge:

Primitive existence
Growling like a bear in a cave
Somehow you sooth my savage breast
Make me want to behave - when we’re in public
Don’t claim to have a diplomatic warm and winning manner
Prickly porcupine is more my style
I try to get control of my irascible demeanor
Never seem to come up with a smile
Who comes to my rescue
Girl you’re my saving grace

repeat refrain
