The song was written in 1967 by Micky Dolenz.
It was released as a single in England only, under the name “Alternate Title”.
The “Alternate Title” was due to the rowdy meaning of the original title – Randy Scouse Git – according to The Urban Dictionary – “…translates into "Horny Liverpuedlian Jerk”...
{Intro}
[Verse 1]
She's a wonderful lady and she's mine, all mine
And there doesn't seem a way that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs to a girl in a yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party and the room is in a mess
[Verse 2]
The four kings of EMI are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin with few and plastered hair
There's talcum powder on the letter and the birthday boy is there
[Chorus 1]
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
[Verse 3]
Now they've darkened all the windows and the seats are Naugahyde
I've been waiting for an hour, I can't find a place to hide
The being known as Wonder Girl is speaking, I believe
It's not easy trying to tell her that I shortly have to leave
[Chorus 2]
Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate
Kill who I kill to be free?
{Vocal Bridge}
[Chorus 1]
Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do
See what I feel when I care?
[Outro]
Why don't you be like me? (She's a wonderful lady)
Why don't you stop and see? (And she's mine, all mine)
Why don't you hate who I hate, (And there doesn't seem a way)
Kill who I kill to be free? (That she won't come and lose my mind)
Why don't you cut your hair? (It's too easy humming songs)
Why don't you live up there? (To a girl in a yellow dress)
Why don't you do what I do, (It's been a long time since the party)
See what I feel when I care? (And the room is in a mess)
