C Am
She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
C Am
and there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
F Dm F Dm
It's too easy hummin' songs to a girl in yellow dress
C Am
it's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess
C Am
The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
C Am
there are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
F Dm F Dm
he reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair
C Am
there's talcum powder on the letter, and the birthday boy is there
Am Em G Am Em G
Why don't you cut your hair?!
Am Em G Am Em G
Why don't you live up there?!
Am Em G Am Em G Am Em G Am
Why don't you do what I do, see what I feel when I care?!
C Am
Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats in naughahyde
C Am
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
F Dm F Dm
the being known as wonder girl is speaking I believe
C Am
it's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave
Am Em G Am Em G
Why don't you be like me?!
Am Em G Am Em G
Why don't you stop and see?!
Am Em G Am Em G Am Em G Am
Why don't you hate who I hate, kill who I kill to be free?!
(Instrumental and mumbling)
