Lyrics
Sha la la la la la la la Oh Uh huh I was down at the new amsterdam starin' 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 And so, she's suddenly beautiful And we all want something beautiful Man, I wish I was beautiful.. So come dance the silence down through the mornin'
Sha la la la la la la la Yeah Uh huh Yeah
Cut up, maria! show me some of that spanish dancin', n' 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 is looking at me." Smilin' in the bright lights Comin' through in stereo When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely
Well, I'm gon' 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." Standin' in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely I will never be lonely Said I'm never gonna be lonely
I wanna be a lion Eh, everybody wanna pass as cats We all wanna be big, big stars, yeah but, we got different reasons for that Believe in me 'cause I don't believe in anything And 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, ah son, that's just about as funky as you can be
Mr. jones and me starin' at the video When I look at the television I wanna see me starin' 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 wanna be just about as happy as I can be Mr. jones and me, we're gonna be big stars..
