Don't Bother Me


Don't bother me with conformity don't bother me today- with things I should (or shouldn't) do or what I shouldn't say! Don't bother me with conformity my house is not “obscene”... Orange, purple, and lavender look lovely with lime green! Don't bother me with conformity I'm much too happy, carefree to wonder why the neighbors all keep staring so at me! Maybe they're jealous of my tail I really don't give a hoot! Surely they have seen before grown-ups in zebra suits? Don't bother me with conformity ...too busy to follow your lead! I've whatcha-ma-call-it thingies to build and unicorns to feed! Don't bother me with conformity don't worry me this way! You've stepped on all the faeries toes and run the elves away... Don't bother me with conformity you're being such a pest! My mud pies were quite fabulous and not a “filthy mess”! Don't bother me with conformity my music's not so loud... Accordions are delightful- See? It's already drawn a crowd! ...Respectfully holding their applause until I reach the end- Oh no- they really love it so! You're quite mistaken, friend! Don't bother me with conformity come dance a jolly jig! You really should loosen up a bit you sad, forlorn, old prig! Don't bother me with conformity No thanks! I've had my fill... of boring, bland, and deathly dull no doubt that boredom kills! Don't bother me with conformity Oh, what was that you said? Well, I think you (and your boring lot) are the crazy ones instead!
