Lyrics

You're well adapted for climbing to survive.
The social ladder might help you stay alive.
You've changed your colors before, I know,
but never quite like this.
Right now you're hunting,
but there are times you hide.
It's so surprising to see you dignified.
Will they discover your camouflage,
your metamorphosis?

You're a chameleon; so good at blending in.
You change your skin like clothes on a mannequin.
It makes me wonder: can you be genuine?
You're a chameleon.

There on your ladder, precariously perched:
you're moving slowly. You can't afford to lurch.
You're salivating for din-din now.
Don't let it get a way!
Your tongue is rolled up, but ready to project.
You keep your mouth shut, so no one will suspect.
You're egotistic, full of hot air, just like a good souffle'.

What you do comes easily.
Still you made an enemy.
One that you are just too blind to see.

It's mystifying the way you use your eyes.
One for escaping, the other on the prize.
And how you manage to tell yourself,
"It's all perfectly fair."
You made a checklist and found someone who fit.
Though it's not perfect, you never will admit.
Playing the game, hope it lasts this time,
you don't like solitaire.

You're a chameleon; so good at blending in.
You change your skin like clothes on a mannequin.
It makes me wonder: can you be genuine?
You're a chameleon.
You're a chameleon.
