| Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
|
| Hmm, uh-huh
|
| I was down at the New Amsterdam
|
| Staring at this yellow-haired girl
|
| Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
|
| With a black-haired flamenco dancer
|
| You know, she dances while his father plays guitar
|
| She’s suddenly beautiful
|
| We all want something beautiful
|
| Man, I wish I was beautiful
|
| So come dance this silence down through the morning
|
| Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
|
| Uh-huh, yeah
|
| Cut up, Maria!
|
| Show me some of them Spanish dances
|
| Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones
|
| Believe in me
|
| Help me believe in anything
|
| 'Cause I wanna be someone who believes
|
| Yeah
|
| Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales
|
| And we stare at the beautiful women
|
| «She's looking at you», «Ah, no, no, she’s looking at me»
|
| Smiling in the bright lights
|
| Coming through in stereo
|
| When everybody loves you
|
| You can never be lonely
|
| Well, Imma paint my picture
|
| Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
|
| All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
|
| Yeah, well, you know, gray is my favorite color
|
| I felt so symbolic yesterday
|
| If I knew Picasso
|
| I would buy myself a gray guitar and play
|
| Mr. Jones and me look into the future
|
| Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
|
| «She's looking at you», «I don’t think so. |
| She’s looking at me»
|
| Standing in the spotlight
|
| I bought myself a gray guitar
|
| When everybody loves me, I’ll never be lonely
|
| I’ll never be lonely
|
| 'Cause I’m never gonna be lonely
|
| I wanna be a lion
|
| Eh, everybody wants to pass as cats
|
| We all wanna be big big stars, yeah, but
|
| We’ve got different reasons for that
|
| Believe in me 'cause I don’t believe in anything
|
| And I, I wanna be someone
|
| To believe, to believe, to believe, yeah
|
| Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
|
| Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
|
| «She's perfect for you» «Man, there’s got to be somebody for me»
|
| I wanna be Bob Dylan
|
| Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
|
| When everybody loves you, oh, son
|
| That’s just about as funky as you can be
|
| Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
|
| When I look at the television, I wanna see me
|
| Staring right back at me
|
| We all wanna be big stars
|
| But we don’t know why and we don’t know how
|
| But when everybody loves me
|
| I’ll be just about as happy as I could be
|
| Mr. Jones and me, we’re gonna be big stars |
