a man walks down the street
he says why am i soft in the middle now
why am i soft in the middle
but rest of my life is so hard
i need a photo opportunity
i want a shop redemption
don't wanna end up a cartoon
in a cartoon graveyard
ohh yeah ohh yeah
dogs in the moonlight
far away my well lit moon
Mr beer belly beer belly
get these mutts away from me
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 in attention
got a short little span of attention
and whoa my nights are so long
where's my wife and family
what if i die here
who will be my role model
now that my role model is gone gone
creeped up back down the alley
with some rolly polly little bap faced girl all alone alone
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
its an extremely strange world
maybe its the third world
or maybe its his first time around
doesn't speak the language
holds no currency
he is a foreign man
he is surrounded by the sound sound
cattle in the marketplace
scattering rings of orphanages
he looks around around
he sees angels in the architecture
spinning in infinity he says hey alleiluyah

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
