You can call me al lyrics

1. You Can Call Me
Al Lyrics
Paul Simon
A man walks down the street
___________________________
Why am I soft in the middle
___________________________
I need a photo-opportunity
___________________________
Don't want to end up a cartoon
___________________________
BonediggerBonedigger
___________________________
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. BeerbellyBeerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
___________________________
___________________________
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
____________________________
Got a short little span of attention
____________________________
Where's my wife and family
____________________________
Who'll be my role-model
____________________________
Gone Gone
____________________________

With some roly-poly little bat-faced
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations


If you'll be my bodyguard
____________________________
I can call you Betty
____________________________
You can call me Al
____________________________

A man walks down the street
____________________________
Maybe it's the Third World
____________________________
He doesn't speak the language
____________________________
He is a foreign man
____________________________
The sound
____________________________
Scatterlings and orphanages
____________________________
He sees angels in the architecture
____________________________
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

2. You Can Call Me
Al Lyrics
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
BonediggerBonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. BeerbellyBeerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff
amusing anymore

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

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!
