Intro

  
  
  
   
Monty this seems strange to me, the 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 so just let go, just let go 
I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand
A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by 
So I went walking through the stream, 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 their sympathy (waste your breath)
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) for the silver screen
That nonsense doesn't mean a thing, they tried 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 through a rotten deal, Monty's laying low, he is laying low 
Just let go, just let go 
You don't owe me anything, you don't want their sympathy (waste your breath)
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) Monty, this seems strange to me
