Mongrels who ain't got a penny You know you can't hold me forever Songwriters: Elton John, Bernie Taupin I didn't sign up with you So goodbye yellow brick road Hunting the horny back toad I'm going back to my plough To set you on your feet again It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground Beyond the yellow brick road I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing the blues Publisher: DICK JAMES MUSIC LIMITED When are you going to land? Oh, I've finally decided my future lies There's plenty like me to be found Maybe you'll get a replacement Back to the howling old owl in the woods I'm going back to my plough Where the dogs of society howl I should have listened to my old man Hunting the horny back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies When are you gonna come down? So goodbye yellow brick road What do you think you'll do then Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse Back to the howling old owl in the woods I should have stayed on the farm I bet that'll shoot down your plane You can't plant me in your penthouse Beyond the yellow brick road
