|
I'm not the wreck of the hesperus |
|
Feel more like the wall of china |
|
Getting old as methuselah |
|
Feel tall as the eiffel tower |
|
I'm not a power of attorney |
|
But i can rock as good as gibraltar |
|
Ain't no more no spring chicken |
|
Been plucked but i'm still kicking |
|
But it's alright, it's alright |
|
Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak |
|
Make up lies then they leak 'm out |
|
Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them |
|
Reaching out trying to touch me |
|
Met some oscars and tonys |
|
I slipped on a pavement oyster |
|
Met a snake climbing ladders |
|
Got out of the line of fire |
|
(but it's alright) |
|
Brainless writers gossip nonsenses |
|
To others heads as dense as they is |
|
It's the same old malady |
|
What they see is faulty |
|
I'm not the wreck of the hesperus |
|
Feel more like big bill broonzy |
|
Getting old as my mother |
|
But i tell you i got some company |
|
(but it's alright) |
|
But it's alright, it's alright |
|
But it's alright, it's alright |
|
It's alright, alright |
|
It's alright |
