Silly Thing - Graham Parker, The Rumour

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

Well it don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing

Silly thing hey hey yeah hey hey

Sax solo

Well 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

Well it don’t mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing

Silly thing hey hey yeah hey hey

I said you don’t-a mean a thing if you ain’t got that swing

Silly thing hey hey repeat and fade
