Odorono Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
She sang the best she'd ever sang
She couldn't ever sing any better
But Mister Davidson never rang
She knew he would forget her

[Bridge]
She'd seen him there
And put herself to ransom
He had stared
He really was quite handsome

[Verse 2]
She had really looked her best
She couldn't ever look any better
But she knew she'd failed the test
She knew he would forget her

[Chorus]
(Triumphant!) Was the way she felt
As she acknowledged the applause
(Triumphant!) Was the way she'd felt
When she saw him at the dressing room door
[Verse 3]
She was happier than she'd ever been
As he praised her for her grace
But his expression changed, she had seen
As he leant to kiss her face

[Bridge]
It ended there
He claimed a late appointment
She quickly turned
To hide her disappointment

[Verse 4/Outro]
She ripped her glittering gown
Couldn't face another show, no
Her deodorant had let her down
She should have used Odorono

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
