Monty Got a Raw Deal

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.

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, man.	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 can steal.

Put this on your reel to reel.

Mischief threw a rotten deal.

Monty's laying low, man.

He is laying low.

Just let go, y'all.

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.
