[Verse 1]
Monty this seems strange 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
Your friend was there to hold your hand
Said, walk on by

So I went walking through the street
I saw you tied up in a tree
A woman knelt there, said to me
Said, hold your tongue, hold your tongue

[Chorus]
You don't owe us anything
You don't want your sympathy
Don't you waste your breath
Monty, this is strange

[Verse 2]
You try to guess what all this means
You're sure you might guess many things
But nothing isn't anything
So don't waste time
Now, here's a rhyme that you can steal
Put this on your reel-to-reel
Mischief threw a raw deal
Monty's laying low

Take your breath
Use your mind
Don't waste time

[Chorus]
You don't owe us anything
You don't want your sympathy
Don't you waste your breath
Monty, this seems strange to me
Monty, this seems strange
