[Verse 1]

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

It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess


[Verse 2]

The four kings of EMI 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


[Chorus]

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?


[Verse 3]

Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats are Naugahyde

I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide

The being known as Wonder Girl is speaking, I believe

It's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave


[Chorus]

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?

{Vocal Bridge}


[Outro]

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? (She's a wonderful lady)

Why don't you stop and see? (And she's mine, all mine)

Why don't you hate who I hate, (And there doesn't seem a way)

Kill who I kill to be free? (That she won't come and lose my mind)

Why don't you cut your hair? (It's too easy humming songs)

Why don't you live up there? (To a girl in yellow dress)

Why don't you do what I do, (It's been a long time since the party)

See what I feel when I care? (And the room is in a mess)
