Some friends of mine I never met called me the other day
They was gonna have a party and they called me to say
Hey Joe, how ya doin', how's your album, how's your tour
How's Don Henley, how's Glenn Frey,
and who, what where and when and why
They could not shut up (can't shut up)
They couldn't shut up (can't shut up)
So I hung up (can't shut up)
Well I followed their directions and arrived a little late
I had a couple Chardonnays and started feelin' great
I said I hate to interrupt, I'll be right back I gotta pee
30 people in the bathroom started talkin' to me
They could not shut up (can't shut up)
(can't shut up)
I said HEY...shut up (can't shut up)
They could not shut up
Well, just to get out of the bathroom took the rest of the year,
and then a polyester pantsuit named Mandingo grabbed my ear
said I heard you're rich and famous but I don't know who you are
You gotta sign this for my nephew or he won't believe I met you
She just could not shut up (can't shut up)
No, no she could not shut up (can't shut up)
She couldn't shut up (can't shut up)
I said: "Shut up" (can't shut up)
She could not shut up (can't shut up)
She, she, she, she could not shut up (can't shut up)
No, no, no she could not shut up (can't shut up)
She said: "blah, blah, blah" (can't shut up)
I said: "hahahaha, Shut up"
Shut up (can't shut up)
