Thanks But No Thanks

Lyrics

[Intro] Just keep right on walking Just keep right on walking [Verse 1] "Don't dilly-dally, come right home" I don't see why I must go home When in the street, the niceties Come pouring out and over me It's three o'clock and here they come So many that my eyes are numb Familiar faces each and all But I've been ordered not to stall [Chorus] Thanks but no thanks, anyway I know that you're all okay, but My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me [Verse 2] The merry band of "How are you's" In tweedy suits and pointy shoes They offer me a ride in style And something sweet to make me smile I hate to hurt their feelings so But I'm supposed to tell them no My parents say the world is cruel I think that they prefer it cruel [Chorus] Thanks but no thanks, anyway I know that you're all okay, but My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me [Bridge] Just keep right on walking Just keep right on walking Just keep right on walking Just keep right on walking [Chorus] Thanks but no thanks, anyway I know that you're all okay, but My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me [Outro] Thanks but no thanks anyway Thanks but no thanks anyway Thanks but no thanks anyway, anyway, anyway
