Monty, this seems strange to me The movie's 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 So just let them go Just let them go I saw the ocean beat the band 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 out there said to me Said, hold your guitar Hold your guitar You don't owe me anything You don't want this sympathy Don't you waste your breath Or the silver skin But nonsense doesn't mean a thing It's right to bust you in a state But virtue isn't everything So don't waste your time Now here's a rhyme that you can steal Put this on your reel Mischief grew a rotten deal Monty's laying low He is laying low Just let them go Just let them go You don't owe me anything You don't want this sympathy Don't you waste your breath Or the silver skin
