You Can Call Me Al
Lyrics:
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 bat-faced 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
Call me Al
