Píseň: Oh, Marion

Interpret:
Paul Simon
Album:
One Trick Pony
The boy's got brains
He just don't use 'em that's all
The boy's got brains
He just refuse to use 'em and that's all
He said:  The more I got to thinkin
The less I tend to laugh!
The boy's got brains
He just abstains


The boy's got a heart
But it beats on the opposite side
It's a strange phenomenon
The laws of nature defied
He said:  It´s a chance I had to take
So I shifted my heart for its safety sake!
The boy's got a heart but it beats on
His opposite side


Oh, Marion,
I think I'm in trouble here
I should have believed you
When I heard you saying it
The only time
That love is an easy game
Is when two other people
Are playing it


The boy's got a voice
But the voice is his natural disguise
Yes the boy's got a voice
But his words don't connect to his eyes
He says:   Oh, but when I sing
I can hear the truth auditioning!
The boy's got a voice
But the voice is natural
