#MONTY GOT A RAW DEAL
#
#From: Matthew B. Johnson (zagyg@netcom.netcom.com)
#
#Intro: Gm Bb

Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing
But nonsense has a welcome ring and heros 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 so 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 my hand, so walk on by
So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree
A woman out 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
That 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 must hear, put this on your reel to reel
Mischief through 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
