When he was young he sang in the band and the fans all looked the same
|
And the fans he had were younger than he and they loved to scream his name
|
They'd leave at the end of the third show, go home to talk of the fun
|
Well isn't it nice the parents would say, well isn't nice you've got someone
|
Someone to idolize, he must look twice his size
|
I think it's great, you're going through a phase
|
And I'm awfully glad it will all be over in a couple of days
|
|
Well the calendar changed and the pages fell off, but the singer remained the same
|
And he never grew tired of singing his song, and his fans still called his name
|
They'd leave at the end of the second show, go home to talk of the fun
|
For most of the fans were married by then, so they had to be in by one
|
|
I'm awfully glad the husbands would say, I'm awfully glad you got someone
|
Someone I realize, who used to look twice his size
|
I think it's great you still remember his name
|
And I'll bet if he knew you were there for the show
|
He'd be awfully glad you came
|
|
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "to speak of other things"
|
Like a fallen star who works in a bar where Yesterday is king
|
The fans will stay for an hour or so, they still remember his fame
|
But the time has come the Walrus said, to call your fans by name
|
