when she told me
I was crazy
I said hey you
must be mad

then she called me
stupid idiot
I said you must be
out of your head

she can be so nice
she´s got a great
sense of humour too

don´t smash that ashtray Linda

don´t go wild
who´s gonna manage
to pay for the damage          

Linda
please don´t
oh no

the waitress said that
she was sorry
but if we went
on like that
we would have to
leave the barroom
that´s when Linda
got real mad

indeed this is a love song
but oh it´s such a sad one

don´t smash that ashtray Linda
don´t go wild
who´s gonna manage
to pay for the damage

Linda
please don´t
oh no
