Verse 1:
Oh Lord have mercy, did you hear the news?
Geddy Lee and Mrs. Skilton caught in the blues
Jean Pierre was there too, what a sinful sight
They took it to the radio room, and caused a fright
Chorus:
Lord have mercy, what a scandalous affair
They thought they were sneaky, but we know what they did in there
Verse 2:
The park ranger tried to stop them, but he took a hit
Mrs. Skilton's elbow knocked him out, he didn't see it coming a bit
The Coast Guard came, and took them all away
Now they're facing charges, they'll have a price to pay
Chorus:
Lord have mercy, what a scandalous affair
They thought they were sneaky, but we know what they did in there
Verse 3:
Geddy Lee, Mrs. Skilton, and Jean Pierre
They thought they could get away with it, but the truth is clear
They may have thought it was fun, but it wasn't right
Now they're facing the consequences, in the bright daylight
Chorus:
Lord have mercy, what a scandalous affair
They thought they were sneaky, but we know what they did in there
Verse 4:
Let this be a lesson to us all, to do what's right
And to not let temptation lead us to the night
For when we do wrong, it always comes to light
So let's live in the truth, and do what's right
Chorus:
Lord have mercy, what a scandalous affair
They thought they were sneaky, but we know what they did in there
Lord have mercy, help us to do what's right
And to live in the truth, in the day and the night.
