Why don’t you cut your hair?
Why don’t you live up there?
Why don’t you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
She’s a wonderful lady, and she’s mine, all mine
And there doesn’t seem a way that she won’t come and lose my mind
It’s too easy humming songs to a girl in yellow dress
Been a long time since the party, and the room is in a mess
The four kings of E.M.I. are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin with few and plastered hair
There’s talcum powder on the letter, and the birthday boy is there
Why don’t you cut your hair?
Why don’t you live up there?
Why don’t you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
The four kings of E.M.I. are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin with few and plastered hair
There’s talcum powder on the letter, and the birthday boy is there
Why don’t you be like me?
Why don’t you stop and see?
Why don’t you hate who I hate
Kill who I kill to be free?
[break]
Why don’t you cut your hair?
Why don’t you live up there?
Why don’t you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
Why don’t you be like me?
Why don’t you stop and see?
Why don’t you hate who I hate
Kill who I kill to be free?
She’s a wonderful lady, and she’s mine, all mine
Micky: Thank you. That’s a cool new version, huh?
