PAUL SIMON - You Can Call Me Al lyrics
rate meA man walks down the street<br>He says why am I soft in the middle now<br>Why am I soft in the middle<br>The rest of my life is so hard<br>I need a photo-opportunity<br>I want a shot at redemption<br>Don't want to end up a cartoon<br>In a cartoon graveyard<br>Bonedigger bonedigger<br>Dogs in the moonlight<br>Far away my well-lit door<br>Mr. beerbelly beerbelly<br>Get these mutts away from me<br>You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore<br>If you'll be my bodyguard<br>I can be your long lost pal<br>I can call you betty<br>And betty when you call me<br>You can call me al<br><br>A man walks down the street<br>He says why am I short of attention<br>Got a short little span of attention<br>And wo my nights are so long<br>Where's my wife and family<br>What if I die here<br>Who'll be my role-model<br>Now that my role-model is<br>Gone gone<br>He ducked back down the alley<br>With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl<br>All along along<br>There were incidents and accidents<br>There were hints and allegations<br><br>If you'll be my bodyguard<br>I can be your long lost pal<br>I can call you betty<br>And betty when you call me<br>You can call me al<br>Call me al<br><br>A man walks down the street<br>It's a street in a strange world<br>Maybe it's the third world<br>Maybe it's his first time around<br>He doesn't speak the language<br>He holds no currency<br>He is a foreign man<br>He is surrounded by the sound<br>The sound<br>Cattle in the marketplace<br>Scatterlings and orphanages<br>He looks around, around<br>He sees angels in the architecture<br>Spinning in infinity<br>He says amen! and hallelujah!<br><br>If you'll be my bodyguard<br>I can be your long lost pal<br>I can call you betty<br>And betty when you call me<br>You can call me al<br>Call me al
