Melanie

(Music & Lyrics Al Yankovic, (c) somewhere around 1986)

CHORUS:
Me-he-he-lanie
What can the problem be
Oh, sweet Me-he-he-lanie
Why won't you go out with me?

She lived across the street on the 15th floor of the Gailmore building
I saw her in the shower, reaching for some soap
I knew she had to be the girl for me, and to think I prob'ly never
Would have found her
If I hadn't bought that telescope, oh,

CHORUS

I just can't understand it. Why won't you return my phone calls?
Are you still mad I gave a mohawk to your cat?
If you'd just say the word, I'm certain that our love would last forever
And ever
Or are you to dumb to realize that

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
How can you ignore me when you know that I can't live without you?
I have to go through your garbage
*Just to learn more about you*
Melanie-ee-ee-ee! oooooo.....
Oh sweet Me-he-he-lanie
Why won't you go out with me?

You weren't impressed when I tattooed your name across my forehead
You wouldn't listen when I promised to be true
I couldn't stand it so I jumped out from the 16th-story window
Right above you
Now I may be dead but I still love you
