Monty this seems strange to me
The movies had that movie thing
But nonsense has a welcome ring
And heroes don't come easyNow 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 goI saw the ocean meet the man
I saw you buried in the sand
A friend was there to hold your hand
Said, walk on bySo, 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 tongueYou 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 screenThat nonsense doesn't mean a thing
They tried to bust you in a sting
But virtue isn't everything
So, don't waste timeNow, 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
Just let goYou 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
