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.\\
\\
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?\\
\\
Now they've darkened all the windows\\
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.\\
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 tryin' 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?\\
Why don't you stop and see?\\
Why don't you hate who I hate,\\
Kill who I kill to be free. \\
