  • It turns out to be a great thing for me
    I don't worry (and) I don't think (because)
    It's not my job to worry or to think

    Not me
    I'm more like everyday I'm here, I'm grateful
    And that's the gist of it
    Now you may call that a bogus, bullshit
    New-age point of view
    But check out my tattoo says wall-to-wall fun
    Does everyone know everyone
    Mr. Wall-to-wall Fun

    We got the well, well, well
    And cool Papa Bell
    The fastest man on Earth did dwell
    As cool Papa Bell

    Motherfucker
    Ugly word
    Ubiquitous and often heard as a substitute for someone's Christian name
    And I think yeah, the word is ugly, all the same
    Ugly got a chase to make
    It's not like every rodent gets a birthday cake
    No, it's you're a chipmunk, how cute is that?
    But you, you motherfucker, are a filthy rat

    And well, well, well
    Is it true, Papa Bell?
    That the beauties go to heaven and the ugly go to hell
    Cool Papa Bell

    (Let the tubas cry)

    Have you all heard the news?
    Heaven finally found
    Okay, it's six trillion light years away
    But we're all gonna get there someday
    Yes, they're all gonna get there one day
    Ah, we're all gonna get, we're all gonna get, we

    But, but not you
    You stay and explain the suffering and the pain you caused
    The thrill you feel when evil dreams come true

    Check out my tattoo
    It says wall-to-wall fun
    Does everyone know everyone
    Mr. Wall-to-wall Fun

    We got the well, well, well
    And Cool Papa Bell
    The fastest man on Earth did dwell as Cool Papa Bell

    And you're never gonna stop
    Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
    Never gonna stop, you never gonna stop
    Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
    You know, you know you
    Are never gonna stop, never gonna stop, ci-kow-bow-chika Writer/s: PAUL SIMON
