[Chorus]
Apologies for the late reply
I genuinely just forgot
I didn't mean to leave you hanging
In truth this happens quite a lot
I read your message straight away
But my response was complicated
So I left some time to think on it
I hope that you're not too frustrated

[Chorus]
Apologies for the late reply
I thought I sent you my response
But your rather snarky follow-up
Made me jump to it at once
I composed it quite succinctly
And precisely to that end
Then a dog video distracted me
And I forgot to click on send

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Apologies for the late reply
I was unsure of what to say
In truth I hoped if I ignored you
Then maybe you would go away
But my guilt at your persistence
Required acknowledgement and so
My answer to your small request
Is a big resounding no
