Don't want to talk about the government Don't want to talk about some incident Don't want to talk about some peppermint gum Don't want to talk about the time to come Button my lip 'Til I'm smart enough Don't raise your hand 'Cos I'm not offering It serves you right Now you are suffering Give me a chance To see it though It all depends on what you hold is true Button my lip With your kiss Don't want to hear some little sniveling You just don't get what I'm delivering Maybe you want me But you know you can't I'd say, 'I want you? But you know I don't Button my lip 'Til I'm old enough 'Til I'm smart enough 'Til I'm? Button my lip Don't want to come at your beckoning For any day they'll be a reckoning Don't want to hear what is impossible Baby, you've become invisible Button my lip I've seen those clowns vacant and insolent I stand accused but I am innocent I am the mighty and magnificent
