作曲 : Creager
He scrapes the dirt from his nails with a stick. 
He makes a big pile in a pail on the sink. 
Who was he? 
Oh, I'll never tell. 
He has not got a thing left to sell. 
Ooh, the remnants of 
Percy Bass. 
He glued the newspaper to the wall. 
Skeleton closets are down the hall. 
Nobody knows him like 
I do. I remember when there were, 
I remember when there were things he could do. 
Some things are not made to last. 
Ooh, the remnants of 
Percy Bass. 
Some things are things like this: 
He could catch a rabbit with one hand. 
He could build a castle out of sand. 
He was A handsome man. 
He gave a tender kiss. 
Nobody knows about the fancy shows you starred in 
When you were seventeen. 
I'll never tell about your secret life 
To a magazine. 
I can remember when you were the shallow hero. 
It was so long ago when you were 
Everybody's shining star. 
You were a daydream. 
But now, He needs someone to hold his hand. 
Nothing has quite worked out how he had planned. 
I try to help him how 
I can. But he has forgotten, 
He has forgotten who 
I am. Remember, 
Some things are not made to last. 
Ooo, the remnants of 
Percy Bass. 
Some things are not made to last. 
Ooo, the remnants of 
Percy Bass.
