Shes a wonderful lady
And shes mine all mine
And there doesnt seem a way
That she wont come and lose my mind.
Its too easy humming songs
To a girl in yellow dress
Its been a long time since the party
And the room is in a mess.
The four kings of e.m.i.
Are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
And a valet at the door.
He reminds me of a penguin
With few and plastered hair,
Theres talcum powder on the letter
And the birthday boy is there.
Why dont you cut your hair?
Why dont you live up there?
Why dont you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Now theyve darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
Ive been waiting for an hour,
I cant find a place to hide.
The being known as wonder girl
Is speaking I believe.
Its not easy tryin to tell her
That I shortly have to leave.
Why dont you be like me?
Why dont you stop and see?
Why dont you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.
[progressive scat vocals]
Why dont you cut your hair?
Why dont you live up there?
Why dont you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why dont you be like me?
Why dont you stop and see?
Why dont you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.
