Mr. Jones

Sha la la la la la la la

Ooh ooh

Down in New Amsterdam

Staring at these yellow haired girls

Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation

With this black haired flamenco dancer

Oh she dances while his father plays

The guitar, she's suddenly beautiful

We all want something beautiful

I wish I was beautiful

So come dance in silence all through the morning

Sha la la la la la la la yeah

Ooh ooh yeah

Good Maria, show me some of those Spanish dances

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones!

Believe in me, I don't believe in anything

'Cause I wanna be someone who believes yeah

Mr. Jones and me

Telling each other fairytales

And we stare at the beautiful women

She's looking at you

Oh no, no, she's looking at me

Smiling in the bright light

Coming through in stereo

When everybody loves you

You can never be lonely

Well I wanna paint my picture

Paint myself in blue and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors

Very very meaningful

Yeah you know gray's 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

Looking to the future

Yeah we stare at the beautiful women

She's looking at you

I don't think so, she's looking at me

Standing in the spotlight

Bought myself a gray guitar

When everybody loves me

I will never be lonely

I'll never be lonely

Never gonna be

Never gonna be lonely

No

I wanna be a lion

Yeah 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 that'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

I'll shut up

Just about as funky as you can be

Mr. Jones and me

Staring at the video

When I look at the television

I wanna see me

Staring right back at me

We all wanna be big stars

But we don't know why

And we don't know how

When everybody loves me

I'm gonna be just about as happy as I can be

Mr. Jones and me

We're gonna be big stars
