Monty Got A Raw Deal Lyrics

    Monty this seems strange to me.
    The movies had that movie thing,
    But nonsense has a welcome ring
    And heroes 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.
    Said, 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 your hand,
    Said, Walk on by.

    So, I went walking through the street.
    I saw you strung up in a tree.
    A woman knelt there said to me,
    Said, Hold your tongue, man. 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 can steal.
    Put this on your reel to reel.
    Mischief threw a rotten deal.
    Monty’s laying low, man.
    He is laying low.
    Just let go, y’all.
    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.
