zsa zsa gabor is 95
(yes she’s still alive)
and i think i know her better than me
than me
than me
i think i know her better than me
even billy graham
at 94
who underscores the meaning of jesus and the whore
i think i understand
him better
(though i dont think that i’ll send him
a love letter)
like I did to patty andrews* who’s 94 too
i understand her well
cuz she sings of love too
Barry manilow is dead
i heard it said
but then i heard it wasn’t true
is it odd that i was sad
i was sad
when i thought that barry manilow was dead?
cuz he didn’t write the songs
that make the whole world sing
it was a guy named bruce
(not springsteen)
he just sang it
he just sang it
he didnt write the song he just sang it
when i was a little boy
i loved to watch
american bandstand
with nine years of joy
i knew Barry wrote the theme song
but i also knew
that he didnt write the song he said he did
he just sang it
he just sang it
he didnt write the song he just sang it
no one ever seems to write
the song the said they did
nobody every seems to love
like they were a kid
they just sing it, they just sing it
no body ever seems to love
they just sing it
* sadly, she is now dead. but she wasn’t when the song was written.
