Monkees Song Lyrics

Randy Scouse Git

By Micky Dolenz

She's a wonderful lady 
And she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way 
That she won't come and lose my mind.
It's too easy humming songs 
To a girl in yellow dress
It's 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,
There's talcum powder on the letter 
And the birthday boy is there.

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?

Now they've darkened all the windows 
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour, 
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl 
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her 
That I shortly have to leave.

Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

[Progressive scat vocals]

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.
