Lyrics:

You can't live together, you can't live alone
Considering the weather, oh my, how you've grown
From the men in the factories to the wild kangaroo
Like those birds of a feather, they're gathering together
And feeling exactly like you

They got mesmerized by lullabies
And limbo danced in pairs
Please lock that door
It don't make much sense that common sense
Don't make no sense no more

Just between you and me
It's like pulling when you ought to be shoving
Like a nun with her head in the oven
Please don't tell me that this really wasn't nothing

One of these days, one of these nights
You'll take off your hat and they'll read you your rights
You'll wanna get high every time you feel low
Hey, Queen Isabella, stay away from that fella
He'll just get you into trouble, you know

But they came here by boats and they came here by plane
They blistered their hands and they burned out their brains
All dreaming a dream that'll never come true
Hey, don't give me no trouble or I'll call up my double
We'll play piggy-in-the-middle with you

You'll get mesmerized by alibis
And limbo dance in pairs
Please lock that door
It don't make much sense that common sense
Don't make no sense no more

It don't make much sense that common sense
Don't make no sense no more
