Whatever happened to mr cool
Somebody took him back to school
He thought he knew but he did not
Now his name is mr hot.
Oh mr hot, mr hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no
Whatever happened to know-it-all
Knew how to climb but not to fall
He had to fall from so high above
The only place deep enough was love.
Oh mr hot, mr hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no
Banana, banana
Sleep in between two beds is a fiddle
You're bound to fall through the hole in the middle
You want your cake and eat it too
One day the cake turn around and eat you
Oh mr hot, mr hot don't think your through cause you're not
You still don't have what you've got
Oh no no no no
Whatever happened to mr cool
Somebody took him back to school
He thought he knew but he did not
Now they call him mr hot.
