(Appreciated when listening to Music by Thelonius Monk)
Categorize me
Well, you needn't
And scrutinize me
Well, you needn't
To analyze me
No you needn't
If me you knew
We could be through
If you're here to pry
Well, you needn't
Get nearby to spy
Well, you needn't
In privacy I
Am proceedin'
To live my life
With Nell, my wife
How things may go
Behind our doors
Needs to be no
Concern of yours
Therefore, we chide
Our little kids
Don't go outside
And blow your lids
Bout what we hide
Or deeds we did
In our private lives
Investigate me
Well, you needn't
Interrogate me
Well, you needn't
Nor regulate me
Hell, you needn't
Leave me be me
Then leave me be
Since I am prone
To be unknown
ii
They want you to play
Well you needn't
Though beg you they may
Hell, you needn't
They see by the way
You're proceedin'
Desire to play
Became passé
You don't want to touch
The piano
Why it's now too much
No one can know
You have become such
A great man, so
No one will try
To question why
To put on shows
You flat refuse
You don't compose
You lost that muse
Your music on which
Fans have fed
Has pulled a switch
On you and fled
So sad to say it's being said
You're out of your head
Compose or perform
Well, you needn't
Because it's the norm
Well, you needn't
Why should you conform
There's no reason
To live a lie
Why even try
Bid it good-bye
And let it die
