Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett | |
Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
See the lady | |
Smiles as if to tell | |
Her son remembers everyone | |
Treats 'em all quite well | |
He never asked for promises | |
And now his fame is wide | |
And everyone who knew him well shares a little pride | |
Chorus: | |
Ain't he a genius | |
The boy's become a star | |
And he smiles upon the faces | |
Who wish they could go far | |
Not long ago they criticized | |
The genius only wrote | |
And now they listen spellbound | |
With lumps caught in their throats | |
His virtue was sheer poverty | |
His vice was reading plays | |
While other children starved and fought | |
He learned just what to say | |
Through tension and confession | |
He beat the monster down | |
Then surfaced in society no longer underground | |
Chorus: | |
Ain't he a genius | |
The boy's become a star | |
And he smiles upon the faces | |
Who wish they could go far | |
Now they remember | |
Talk only of his good | |
While jealousy flows in their veins | |
And says I wish I could | |
Ain't he a genius |
