Song | Mr. Richland's Favorite Song |
Artist | Harry Nilsson |
Album | Aerial Ballet |
作词 : Nilsson | |
When he was young he sang in the band and the fans all looked the same | |
And the fans he had were younger than he and they loved to scream his name | |
They'd leave at the end of the third show, go home to talk of the fun | |
Well isn't it nice the parents would say, well isn't nice you've got someone | |
Someone to idolize, he must look twice his size | |
I think it's great, you're going through a phase | |
And I'm awfully glad it will all be over in a couple of days | |
Well the calendar changed and the pages fell off, but the singer remained the same | |
And he never grew tired of singing his song, and his fans still called his name | |
They'd leave at the end of the second show, go home to talk of the fun | |
For most of the fans were married by then, so they had to be in by one | |
I'm awfully glad the husbands would say, I'm awfully glad you got someone | |
Someone I realize, who used to look twice his size | |
I think it's great you still remember his name | |
And I'll bet if he knew you were there for the show | |
He'd be awfully glad you came | |
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "to speak of other things" | |
Like a fallen star who works in a bar where Yesterday is king | |
The fans will stay for an hour or so, they still remember his fame | |
But the time has come the Walrus said, to call your fans by name |
