Verse:

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

Chorus:

E          C#         F#m
Thanks but no thanks, anyway
E      C#             F#m
I know that you're all OK, but
A         B
My orders come from high above me
Am          B
About a foot or two above me

Verse:

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

Interlude:

Just keep right on walking
