Lyrics:
You're absolutely so much,
better than her,
A second thought is too much,
Is two too many?
She's a fact of life but never mind,
Get away, away for someone kind.
Such a vain iconoclaster,
A racketeer who never fears,
The news of his departure,
Was greeted here with a Cheshire grin.
(Oh, Better get away from here)
The monster's loose,
You're luckier than you know,
The one that got away,
He's gone, she's gone.
A great big celebration,
Seems more in order,
And it's a great big revelation,
That should pull the plug on the whole thing,
(I'm so thrilled for you, really)
The monster's loose,
You're luckier than you know,
The one that got away,
He's gone, she's gone
It's so easy to be
fooled,
By such a crackerjack,
There's a weak signal.
Now here's all you have to know (Wo-oh),
Just let the monster go.
The monster's loose,
You're luckier than you know,
The one that got away,
He's gone, she's gone
The monster's loose (the
monster's loose),
The monster's loose (the monster's loose),
The monster's loose,
You're luckier than you know,
The one that got away,
He's gone, she's gone, he's gone.
