Melanie Safka - Baby Guitar lyrics

rate me

Oh, have you heard the word

Our friend is gonna be a star

She's gonna get the chauffeur, yeah

And she's gonna get the car

And she's gonna get the love of

The people at the bar

And she's gonna give birth to a baby guitar

Now rumor says our good friend

Has done some carrying on

And rumor says in public

She makes love to all her songs

In front of the frustration

Of the people at the bar

She's got the nerve to mess around

With her guitar

It was sad to see the breakdown

Of the princess falling star

One day when she was doing all

The people at the bar

She did a little don't, yeah

And they pulled her head apart

And neatly tucked away inside

Her eyelid was the heart

And they all looked at one another

And said, "We knew it- there you are

A nameless, illegitimate baby guitar"

A loving, loyal friend

Took the offspring as his own

And according to it's birthright

He built it a throne

And now just like his mama

He does the people at the bar

And they look at one another and say,

"He's gonna be a star"

Remembering well the mother of

The baby guitar.
