Monty Got A Raw Deal Songtext / Lyric

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
