Intro

Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing

But nonsense has a welcome ring and heros 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 out there said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue

You don't owe me anything, you don't want this 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 must hear, 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 this sympathy [waste your breath]

Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] Monty this seems strange to me
