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 a yellow dress

It's been a long time since the party

And the room is in a mess

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

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?

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 wondergirl

Is speaking, I believe

It's not easy trying to tell her

That I shortly have to leave

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?

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 a 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)
