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
Bone digger bone digger Dogs in the moonlight Far away my well lit door Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly Get these mutts away from me You know I, 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 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 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, gone
He ducked back down the alley With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl All along, all along There were incidents and accidents There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard Then I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty 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 Holds no currency, he is a foreign man He is surrounded by the sound The sound
There's cattle in the marketplace Scatter lings and orphanages He looks around, he looks around He sees angels in the architecture They're spinning in infinity He says "Amen, hallelujah"
If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty Betty when you call me You can call me Al Call me
If you'll be my bodyguard I can be your long lost pal I can call you Betty Betty when you call me You can call me Al Call me Al
