| She’s a wonderful lady |
| And she’s mine, all mine |
| And there doesn’t seem a way |
| That she won’t come and lose my mind |
| It’s too easy humming songs |
| To a girl in a yellow dress |
| It’s been a long time since the party |
| And the room is in a mess |
| The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor |
| There are birds out on the sidewalk |
| And a valet at the door |
| He reminds me of a penguin |
| With few and plastered hair |
| There’s talcum powder on the letter |
| And the birthday boy is there |
| Why don’t you cut your hair? |
| Why don’t you live up there? |
| Why don’t you do what I do, |
| See what I feel when I care? |
| Now they’ve darkened all the windows |
| And the seats are naugahide |
| I’ve been waiting for an hour |
| I can’t find a place to hide |
| The being known as wondergirl |
| Is speaking, I believe |
| It’s not easy trying to tell her |
| That I shortly have to leave |
| Why don’t you be like me? |
| Why don’t you stop and see? |
| Why don’t you hate who I hate, |
| Kill who I kill to be free? |
| Why don’t you cut your hair? |
| Why don’t you live up there? |
| Why dodn’t you do what I do, |
| See what I feel when I care? |
| Why don’t you be like me? (She's a wonderful lady) |
| Why don’t you stop and see? (And she’s mine, all mine) |
| Why don’t you hate who I hate, (And there doesn’t seem a way) |
| Kill who I kill to be free? (That she won’t come and lose my mind) |
| Why don’t you cut your hair? (It's too easy humming songs) |
| Why don’t you live up there? (To a girl in a yellow dress) |
| Why don’t you do what I do, (It's been a long time since the party) |
| See what I feel when I care? (And the room is in a mess) |
