You Can Call Me Al (NapsterLive Version)

[Verse 1]

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 in my well-lit door

Just Beerbelly, Beerbelly

Get these mutts away from me

You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore, no

[Chorus]

But if you'll be my bodyguard

I can be your long lost pal

And I can call you Betty

And Betty, when you call me, you can, you can call me Al

[Verse 2]

Well, a man walks down the street

He says, "Why am I short of attention?

Got a short little span of attention

Now, whoa, 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?"

He's 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, yeah, yeah

Yeah, no

[Chorus]

But if you'll be my bodyguard

I can be your long lost pal

And I can call you Betty

And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al

Oh yeah

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

He said: I have seen the others

And I have discovered

That this fight is not worth fighting, no

And I've seen their mothers

And I will no other, to follow me where I'm going

So

[Verse 4]

Take a shower, and shine your shoes

You got no time to lose

You're young men, you must be living

Go now, you are forgiven, yeah

[Chorus]

But if you'll be my bodyguard

I can be your long lost pal, yeah, yeah

And I can call you Betty

And Betty, when you call me, you can call me Al

No, yeah, you can call me Al

[Outro]

Yeah, la-da-da, oh

(Wow, wow, wow)
