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.
