Jesus was gettin’ on my nerves
Brilliant though he was he couldn’t keep house at all
I said “I’m leavin you” he took it well
But he said, “please stay I’m gonna be famous some day and then I’ll hire a maid”
And I said no no, I can’t wait, I won’t hang around, hang around
Hang around

Einstein was gettin’ on my nerves
Brilliant though he was he couldn’t control his body functions
I said “I’m leavin” he took it well
But he said, “please stay I’m gonna be famous some day and then I’ll hire a nurse”
And I said no no, I can’t wait, I won’t hang around, hang around
Hang around

I got better things to do with my life than wait
for genius to come around
And get itself together

Marilyn Monroe was gettin’ on my nerves
Brilliant though she was she was unfaithful to me
I said “I’m leavin you” she took it well
But she said, “please stay I’m gonna be famous some day and you’ll meet Joe DiMaggio”
I said no no, I can’t wait, I won’t hang around , hang around,
Hang
Hang
Hang around
