Some friends of mine I never met called me the other day
They was gonna have a party and they called me to say
Hey Joe, how ya doin`, how`s your album, how`s your tour
How`s Don Henley, how`s Glenn Frey,
and who, what where and when and why
They could not shut up (can`t shut up)
They couldn`t shut up (can`t shut up)
So I hung up (can`t shut up)
Well I followed their directions and arrived a little late
I had a couple Chardonnays and started feelin` great
I said I hate to interrupt, I`ll be right back I gotta pee
30 people in the bathroom started talkin` to me
They could not shut up (can`t shut up)
(can`t shut up)
I said HEY...shut up (can`t shut up)
They could not shut up
Well, just to get out of the bathroom took the rest of the year,
and then a polyester pantsuit named Mandingo grabbed my ear
said I heard you`re rich and famous but I don`t know who you are
You gotta sign this for my nephew or he won`t believe I met you
She just could not shut up (can`t shut up)
No, no she could not shut up (can`t shut up)
She couldn`t shut up (can`t shut up)
I said: Shut up (can`t shut up)
She could not shut up (can`t shut up)
She, she, she, she could not shut up (can`t shut up)
No, no, no she could not shut up (can`t shut up)
She said: blah, blah, blah (can`t shut up)
I said: hahahaha, Shut up
Shut up (can`t shut up)
