Monty Got a Raw Deal (Live)

Monty, this seems strange to me And 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 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 [(waste your breath)] Don't you waste your breath [(waste your breath)] For the silver screen But 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 threw 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
