Song Lyrics

Pre>e a / e a / e a / e b7 a

A e
You want me be someone better
A e
I just wanna monkey 'round yeah
A e
You want me to write you a letter
A e a e
But the words just won't come the right way
A e be
My pen won't listen to a thing that I say

E a e a e a e a
Silly thing hey hey silly thing hey hey
A b7 e a
Well it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing
A b7 e a e a e a e b7 a
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

A e a e
Well I just wanna hang to the way you live.
A e be
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 /pre>
