Good Afternoon lyrics
by Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell & The Spirited Ensemble
(Verse 1)
[CLINT]
Now, fellow, here you are
In a sh*tty British bar
With a frothy little frown upon your lips
Another pint for me friend
Extra warm!
[PRESENT]
Your accent blows
[CLINT]
Well, I beg to differ
As you're drownin' in that ale, you're
Feelin' like a failure
Sorrier than soggy fish and chips
But you don't have to sit and pout
Just let your inner Scrooge come out
'Cause why should any other j*rk enjoy his day?
When you're down in the dumps and need some cheerin' upsies
Turn and tap
A 'apless chap
And sweetly say:
(Chorus)
Good afternoon! Good afternoon!
[BARMAID]
Well, I never!
[CLINT]
Just let one fly
And you'll be smi-
Lin' pretty soon
Like this: Good afternoon!
[CUSTOMER]
I beg your pardon!
[CLINT]
You pompous ass
[BARMAID]
It's like "p*ss off!" but with a little touch of class
[CLINT AND BARMAID]
Oh, two little words can totally change a tune
[CLINT]
Good afternoon!
[CUSTOMER]
Good afternoon!
[BARMAID]
Good afternoon!
[CLINT]
I'm sensing "No"
(Verse 2)
[CLINT]
So you've done nothing wrong
In so very, very long
And I get it's an important point of pride
[PRESENT]
It's part of my job
[CLINT]
But come on, now don't stay quiet
You know you wanna try it
Better to never let all of the bitter be bottled up inside
[CARRIAGE DRIVER]
Oi! Out of the road, dingus!
[CLINT]
Oh, come on, bub. He's got it coming. You know you want to. Come on! Come on! It's right there. Just let it...
(Chorus)
[PRESENT]
Good afternoon!
[CLINT]
Yes!
[PRESENT]
Good afternoon!
[CARRIAGE DRIVER]
The hell you say!
[CLINT]
So you're a wankerous, cantankerous buffoon
[POLICEMAN]
What's all this, then?
[PRESENT]
Good afternoon!
You smell of sh*te
[CLINT]
Now we didn't say "Good morning" or "Good night"
[PRESENT]
That's right!
[POLICEMAN]
Get back here!
[CLINT AND PRESENT]
Yes, two little words can totally change a tune
[CLINT]
Good afternoon
[PRESENT]
Good afternoon
[LITTLE GIRL]
Good afternoon!
(Bridge)
[PRESENT]
She clogged the loo
[WOMAN]
Good afternoon!
[CLINT]
He diddled your wife
[GENTLEMAN]
Good afternoon!
[MAN]
It meant not a thing, I swear upon my life
[WOMAN]
Good afternoon!
[PRESENT]
He has the plague
[WOMAN]
Good afternoon!
[CLINT]
She called you a whore
[WOMAN]
Good afternoon!
[OLIVER TWIST]
I'm an orphan. Please, sir, may I have some more?
[CLINT AND PRESENT]
Good afternoon!
[CLINT]
Hello, guv'nor!
[GENTLEMAN]
Good afternoon!
[CLINT]
Pardon his French!
[GENTLEMAN]
Good afternoon!
[CLINT AND PRESENT]
Just deplore 'em
With decorum
Like you're Judi bloody Dench
[CLINT]
Wait, wait, was that Judi Dench?
[PRESENT]
Oh my God, she's a national treasure. I love her in everything
[CLINT]
I loved her in that, that chocolate
[PRESENT]
Chocolat
[CLINT]
Chocolat!
[ALL]
While we're stumbling through the streets of London town
The quickest little pick-me-up is kicking people down
(Instrumental break)
[ALL]
Good afternoon! It's tons of fun
[PRESENT]
And if you're short, then you can kiss my di*kens, son!
[CLINT]
Woah, woah! No, no, no, no! Stop!
[PRESENT]
No, it's Charles di*kens! It's a funny little thing
[CLINT]
Yes, thank you, but there is a baby
[PRESENT]
Oh, there's a baby! Madam, I am so sorry!
[CLINT]
He should be/ And ma'am
[CLINT AND PRESENT]
Good afternoon!
[ALL]
Good afternoon!
Our favorite swear
Just let a little vile fill the village square
[CLINT]
A pin to pop some prick's balloon
[PRESENT]
And nobody is immune
[ALL]
For giving a man
A kick in the pantaloon
Oh, two little words can totally change a tune
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
Good afternoon
