Ricky Nelson - Mr. Dolphin lyrics

rate me

(R. Nelson)

I just talked to a dolphin the other day about things

And he said hey boy, what's your hurry

He said if I was you, I'd rather be me

I guess that's the way it's supposed to be

So don't you worry, no, try to love one an' other.

I said take a look around town

Look what ya got to pick from

You got a whole lot of people

Just tryin' to get somethin' from someone, yeah.

But then he said you can't start thinkin' like that

Because you know it's not where it's at

You gotta open up your mind

Leave the other world behind.

I said it's easier said than done

He said no, no, all you gotta do is love one an' other

Take your time, try to rhyme

Shake the hand of your brother, yeah

And just love one an' other.

I said thank you Mr. Dolphin

You're my friend now Mr. Dolphin

Once again now Mr. Dolphin

I said thank you, thank you

Mr. Dolphin, yeah.

I said take a look around town

Look what ya got to pick from

You got a whole lot of people

Just tryin' to get somethin' from someone, yeah.

But then he said you can't start thinkin' like that

Because you know it's not where it's at

You gotta open up your mind

Leave the other world behind.

I'll see you later Mr. Dolphin and thanks again

For savin' my mind from oblivion and then some

He said now don't you thank me 'cause it's up to you

You gotta be as truthful as you can be to you son

Just love one an' other.

I said: thank you Mr. Dolphin

You're my friend now Mr. Dolphin

Once again now Mr. Dolphin

I said thank you, thank you

Mr. Dolphin, yeah.

I said: thank you Mr. Dolphin

You're my friend now Mr. Dolphin

Once again now Mr. Dolphin

I said thank you, thank you

Mr. Dolphin...
