Clappy my friend, this one's for you.....

So you want to be a rock and roll star
well listen now to what I say
just get an electric guitar
and take some time
and learn how to play
just learn how to play.....

Well I was down at the New Amsterdam
just staring at this yellow haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
with a black haired flamingo dancer
she dances while his father plays guitar
shes suddenly beautiful
and we all want something beautiful
and I wish I was beautiful
la la la la

Ah well, cut up Maria
come on - show me some of them Spanish dances
and pass me a bottle Mr. Jones
believe in me
come on - help me believe in anything
cause I want to be someone who believes

Mr. Jones and me
tell each other fairy tales
stare at the beautiful women
shes looking at you
no no no -shes looking at me
standing in this bright light
coming through in stereo
when everybody loves you
you should never be lonely

Well I want to paint myself a picture
I want to paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
all the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
yeah, you know gray, it?s my favorite color
I just get so confused everyday
but if I knew Picasso,
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Mr. Jones and me
look into the future
we stare at all the beautiful women
shes looking at you (I dont think so) shes looking at me
standing in this spotlight
look at me - I got myself this gray guitar
man, when everybody loves me
I hope I never get lonely

yeah,
I want to be a lion
I know, I know, everyone wants to pass as cats
we all want to be big-big-big-big stars
but then- we get second thoughts about that
believe in me
man - I dont believe in anything
and I dont want to be someone to believe
you should not believe in me

Mr. Jones and me
we went stumbling through the barrio
we stare at all the beautiful women
shes perfect for you
theres got to be someone for me
I want to be Bob Dylan,
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone a just a little more funky
well man -when everybody loves you
sometimes that's just about as fucked up as you can be
well - cant you hear me 'cause I'm screamin'
but I did not go outside yesterday
oh - dont wake me cause I was dreamin'
and I might just stay inside again today

cause Mr. Jones and me
we dont see each other much anymore
