Just keep right on walking
   Just keep right on walking
  
   Don't dilly-dally, come right home
   I don't see why I must go home
   When in the streets the niceties
   Come pouring out and over me
   Its three o'clock and here they come
   So many that my eyes are numb
   Familiar faces each and all
   But I've been ordered not to stall
   Thanks but no thanks, anyway
   I know that you're all OK, but
   My orders come from high above me
   About a foot or two above me
  
   The merry band of "How are you's"
  
   In tweedy suits and pointy shoes
   They offer me a ride in style
   And something sweet to make me smile
   I hate to hurt their feelings so
   But I'm supposed to tell them no
   My parents say the world is cruel
   I think that they prefer it cruel
   Thanks but no thanks, anyway
   I know that you're all OK, but
   My orders come from high above me
   About a foot or two above me
   Just keep right on walking
   Just keep right on walking
   Just keep right on walking
   Just keep right on walking
  
   Thanks but no thanks, anyway
   I know that you're all OK, but
   My orders come from high above me
   About a foot or two above me
   Thanks but no thanks anyway
   Thanks but no thanks anyway
   Thanks but no thanks anyway, anyway, anyway
