        C                        Am
She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
          C                                 Am
and there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
         F            Dm         F              Dm
It's too easy hummin' songs to a girl in yellow dress
            C                                 Am
it's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess

         C                        Am
The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
          C                               Am
there are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
     F             Dm            F                 Dm        
he reminds me of a penguin, with few and plastered hair
               C                             Am
there's talcum powder on the letter, and the birthday boy is there

Am            Em  G    Am   Em G
Why don't you cut your hair?!
Am            Em   G  Am    Em G
Why don't you live up there?!
Am            Em G    Am    Em  G    Am     Em   G Am
Why don't you do what I do, see what I feel when I care?!

             C                               Am
Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats in naughahyde
          C                            Am
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
    F              Dm             F          Dm
the being known as wonder girl is speaking I believe
         C                              Am
it's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave

Am            Em G    Am  Em G
Why don't you be like me?!
Am            Em   G   Am  Em G
Why don't you stop and see?!
Am            Em   G   Am      Em   G   Am     Em G  Am
Why don't you hate who I hate, kill who I kill to be free?!
