Píseň: Long Song Coming
Politician 'bout to make his speech Signal for attention, please Then he shuffled his notes And wiped his sweating brow I looked at my friend next to me And we don't dare agree Before this is over We'll wish we woulda left right now 'Cause it sounds like a long song comin' And it looks like he might throw in a little dancin', too Yes, it sounds like a long song comin' And buddy, listen buddy We got better things to listen to Lady from a church bizarre Was smiling from her head to her feet All the way down to her feet That she couldn't see She started speeking her piece I said "Stop, Wait a minute, please Before you start talkin' I wish you'd please listen to me." 'Cause it sounds like a long song comin' And though some of the things you say might be true It still sounds like a long song comin' And baby, listen lady, I got better things to listen to Yes, it sounds like a long song comin' And it looks like you might throw in a little dancin', too Yes, it sounds like a long song comin' And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to Say, so it sounds like a long song comin' And it sounds like some just might be true Still it sounds like a long song comin' And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to And buddy, listen buddy, we got better things to listen to
