He’s got the blue cheese face of a miser
He’s got the soft white breast of a swan
He walks with thin swift feet on the jagged concrete
In the first rose blush of the dawn
He’s got his lock box stocked up for later
He’s got a serpent’s smile at night
He’s got jackpot dreams and a blizzard of schemes
He’ll unleash when the moment is right
He’s been sittin’ gettin’ bitter while the rest of ‘em play
But he’s gonna do something that’11 make you say
Hey! That guy is great!
He’s got his priceless bits of distinction
He’s in a club without any card
There’s a glint in his eye like a shivering sky
Before the rain starts coming down hard
He shakes like a tottering tower
He hums like and unsung tone
There’s a hiss in his voice that whispers of joys
That he left alone long ago
He’s been sittin’ gettin’ bitter while the rest of ‘em play
But he’s gonna do something that’11 make you say
Hey! That guy is great!
There was a time when he loved to go dancing
There was a time when he swam in a song
He was brave, he was glad, always gave what he had
To the chances that came along
But he got rocked by disappointment
‘Cause he could not have it all
He felt like a fool and he spit in the pool
And now he hides behind a high wall
He’s been sittin’ gettin’ bitter while the rest of ‘em play
But he’s gonna do something that’11 make you say
Hey! That guy is great!
