You want me be someone better
I just wanna monkey 'round, yeah
You want me to write you a letter
But the words just won't come the right way
My pen won't listen to a thing that I say
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing, hey hey
Well it don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
Silly thing, hey hey, yeah, hey hey
Maybe you're getting sloppy
Under the midday sun, oh yeah
You come on like a carbon copy
But I just wanna hang to the way you live
Don't you want the love I got to give
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing, hey hey
Well it don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
Silly thing, hey hey, yeah, hey hey
Well I just wanna hang to the way you live
Don't you want the love I got to give
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing, hey hey
Well it don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
You silly thing, hey hey, yeah, hey hey
I said you don't a-mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
You silly thing, hey hey, hey hey, a-hey hey
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing, oh-oh, oh oh, alright, hey hey
You silly thing [fade]
[repeat and fade]
I just wanna monkey 'round, yeah
You want me to write you a letter
But the words just won't come the right way
My pen won't listen to a thing that I say
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing, hey hey
Well it don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
Silly thing, hey hey, yeah, hey hey
Maybe you're getting sloppy
Under the midday sun, oh yeah
You come on like a carbon copy
But I just wanna hang to the way you live
Don't you want the love I got to give
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing, hey hey
Well it don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
Silly thing, hey hey, yeah, hey hey
Well I just wanna hang to the way you live
Don't you want the love I got to give
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing, hey hey
Well it don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
You silly thing, hey hey, yeah, hey hey
I said you don't a-mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
You silly thing, hey hey, hey hey, a-hey hey
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing
You silly thing, hey hey
You silly thing, oh-oh, oh oh, alright, hey hey
You silly thing [fade]
