Shut up

Not rated yet.

Well, some friends of mine I never met called me the other day
They was gonna have a party and they called me to say
"Hey, Joe, how ya doin'? How's your album? How's your tour?
How's Don Henley? How's Glenn Frey?
And who, what, where and when and why?"
They could not shut up (Can't shut up)
They couldn't shut up (Can't shut up)
So I hung up (Can't shut up)

Well, I followed their directions and arrived a little late
I had a couple Chardonnays and started feelin' great
I said, "I hate to interrupt, I'll be right back, I gotta pee"
Thirty people in the bathroom started talkin' to me
They could not shut up (Can't shut up, can't shut up)
I said, "Hey! Shut up!" (Can't shut up)
They could not shut up

Well, just to get out of the bathroom took the rest of the year
And then a polyester pantsuit named Mandingo grabbed my ear
Said, "I heard you're rich and famous but I don't know who you are
You gotta sign this for my nephew or he won't believe I met you"
She just could not shut up (Can't shut up)
No, she could not shut up (Can't shut up)
She couldn't shut up (Can't shut up!)
I said, "Shut up!" (Can't shut up)
She could not shut up (Can't shut up)
She, she, she, she could not shut up
No, no, no, she could not shut up (Can't shut up, can't shut up)
She said "Blah, blah, blah" - I said "Ha ha ha ha! SHUT UP!"
Shut the fuck up!
(Can't shut up!)
