Thanks But No Thanks

Just keep right on walking
Just keep right on walking
Don’t dilly-dally, come right home
I don’t see why I must go home
When in the streets the niceties
Come pouring out and over me Its 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
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
I know that you’re all OK, but
My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me 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
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
I know that you’re all OK, but
My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me Just keep right on walking
Just keep right on walking
Just keep right on walking
Just keep right on walking
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
I know that you’re all OK, but
My orders come from high above me About a foot or two above me Thanks but no thanks anyway
Thanks but no thanks anyway
Thanks but no thanks anyway, anyway, anyway
