Take your hand off my knee, young man
Said the lady in green
I don't care to come in between you and your young woman
It's just not done

Couldn't we pass up?
Couldn't we fold?
Aren't certain stories best left untold?
Some things like buttons are best left undone
It's not on

Arnie Pupe is a normal type with an average job
But his prospects will never be great
While bosses underestimate his value
Arnie says

Irene E is his fiancee
And she'd hate to disagree
But the company she thinks is fair
Arnie never does get anywhere

Take your feet off my desk, young man
Said the chauffeur in gray
My green woman has been to seen me
She's retreating from your advance

Wouldn't you join us?
When can you start up as a driver looking the part?
Hang on says Arnie
This just isn't done
It's not on, It's not on, It's not on
Hang on says Arnie
This just isn't done

Couldn't we pass up?
Couldn't we fold?
Aren't certain stories best left untold?
Some things like buttons are best left undone
It's not on, It's not on, It's not on
Some things like buttons are best left undone

It's not on

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
