Monty this seems strange to me.
|
The movies had that movie thing,
|
But nonsense has a welcome ring
|
And heroes don't come easy.
|
|
Now, nonsense isn't new to me.
|
I know my head, I know my feet,
|
But mischief knocked me in the knees.
|
Said, Just let go. Just let go.
|
|
I saw the ocean meet the man.
|
I saw you buried in the sand.
|
A friend was there to hold your hand,
|
Said, Walk on by.
|
|
So, I went walking through the street.
|
I saw you strung up in a tree.
|
A woman knelt there said to me,
|
Said, Hold your tongue, man. Hold your tongue.
|
|
You don't owe me anything.
|
You don't want this sympathy. [waste your breath]
|
Don't you waste your breath. [waste your breath]
|
For the silver screen.
|
|
That nonsense doesn't mean a thing,
|
They tried to bust you in a sting,
|
But virtue isn't everything
|
So, don't waste time.
|
|
Now, here's a rhyme that you can steal.
|
Put this on your reel to reel.
|
Mischief threw a rotten deal.
|
Monty's laying low, man.
|
He is laying low.
|
Just let go, y'all.
|
Just let go.
|
|
You don't owe me anything.
|
You don't want this sympathy. [waste your breath]
|
Don't you waste your breath. [waste your breath]
|
Monty this seems strange to me.
