- Songwriters: Graham Thomas Parker
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
Silly thing, hey, hey, 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?
Silly thing, hey, hey, silly thing, hey, hey
I said you don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing
Silly thing, hey, hey, yeah, hey, hey, hey
Well, I just wanna hang to the way you live
But don't you want the love I got to give?
Silly thing, hey, hey, yeah, 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 mean a thing if you ain't got that swing
You silly thing, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Silly thing, hey, hey, you silly thing
Silly thing, hey, hey, you silly thing, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, alright, oh yeah
