E
Don't dilly-dally, come right home
D                          A
I don't see why I must go home
                                       E
When in the streets the niceties
F#                                  B
Come pouring out and over me
E
Its three o'clock and here they come
D                          A
So many that my eyes are numb
                        E
Familiar faces each and all
F#                               B
But I've been ordered not to stall

Thanks but no thanks, anyway

My orders come from high above me
Am                  B
About a foot or two above me

E
The merry band of "How are you's"
D                              A
In tweedy suits and pointy shoes
                           E
They offer me a ride in style
F#                                    B
And something sweet to make me smile
E
I hate to hurt their feelings so
D                               A
But I'm supposed to tell them no
                               E
My parents say the world is cruel
F#                        B
I think that they prefer it cruel

[Chorus]

E                 C#               F#m
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
E          C#                    F#m
I know that you're all OK, but

My orders come from high above me
Am              B
About a foot or two above me

Just keep right on walking
