you_can_call_me_al Paul Simon A man walks down the street He says why am I soft in the middle now Why am I soft in the middle The rest of my life is so hard I need a photo_opportunity I want a shot_at_redemption Don't want to end up a cartoon In a cartoon graveyard Bonedigger Bonedigger Dogs in the moonlight Far away my well_lit door Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly Get these mutts away from me You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long_lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty when you call me You can call me Al A man walks down the street He says why am I short of attention Got a short little span of attention And wo my nights are so long Where's my wife and family What if I die here Who'll be my role_model Now that my role_model is Gone Gone He ducked back down the alley With some roly_poly little batfaced_girl All along along There were incidents and accidents There were hints and allegations If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long_lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty when you call me You can call me Al Call me Al A man walks down the street It's a street in a strange world Maybe it's the Third_World Maybe it's his first_time around He doesn't speak the language He holds no currency He is a foreign man He is surrounded by the sound The sound Cattle in the marketplace Scatterlings and orphanages He looks around, around He sees angels_in_the_architecture Spinning in infinity He says Amen! and Hallelujah! If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long_lost pal I can call you Betty And Betty when you call me You can call me Al 020110 ... Annie111 songs of my childhood. Weirdness.
