Monty, this seems strange to me
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 it 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, hold your tongue

You don't owe me anything
You don't want this sympathy (Don't you waste your breath)
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath)
For the silver screen

That nonsense doesn't mean a thing
They try 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 is lying low, he is lying low
Just let it go, just let go

You don't owe me anything
You don't want this sympathy (Don't you waste your breath)
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath)
Monty, this seems strange to me
