(Paul Simon)

|
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 my well-lit door
|
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
|
Get these mutts away from me
|
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
|
|
If you'll be my bodyguard
|
I can be your long lost pal
|
I can call you Betty
|
And Betty when you call me
|
You can call me Al
|
|
A man walks down the street
|
He says why am I short of attention
|
Got a short little span of attention
|
And wo 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 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
|
|
If you'll be my bodyguard
|
I can be your long lost pal
|
I can call you Betty
|
And Betty when you call me
|
You can call me Al
|
Call me Al
|
|
A man walks down the street
|
It's a street in a strange world
|
Maybe it's the Third World
|
Maybe it's his first time around
|
He doesn't speak the language
|
He holds no currency
|
He is a foreign man
|
He is surrounded by the sound
|
The sound
|
Cattle in the marketplace
|
Scatterlings and orphanages
|
He looks around, around
|
He sees angels in the architecture
|
Spinning in infinity
|
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
|
|
If you'll be my bodyguard
|
I can be your long lost pal
|
I can call you Betty
|
And Betty when you call me
|
You can call me Al
|
Call me Al
|

You Can Call Me Al
