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, ma, 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
