歌词
Goodbye my friends and good riddance
Pardon while I disappear
Come see me soon in my hideaway
If you can find me, I'm here
Farewell you bloodsucking landlords
Pouring your threats in my ear
Good luck forever to you and yours
If you can find me, I'm here
And I'll stay
Cozily hiding by day
During the day I'll resign
Waiting 'til you go away
But at nine
Master of all I survey
Everything gets to be mine to own
Mine to use
Mine to write all the poems I choose
All alone
Only me and my muse
And forty pianos
And ten thousand shoes
Farewell Neanderthal neighbors
Swilling your pretzels and beer
Fair weather friends, do you miss me now?
[BOTH
If you can find me, I'm here
Goodbye despoilers of beauty
Ruin another career
When you wake up with one genius less
If you can find me, I'm here
And I'm free
Free as a bird in a tree
Free as the slippers I wear
Free with a year's warranty
Free as air
All of these products and me
All that I ask is a chair that tilts
Books to read
Light refreshment before I proceed
And a blazer or maybe a tweed
The barest essentials a poet would need
Live in your barbarous jungle
Screaming for ways to get clear
When all the screaming has died away
Come and visit my hideaway
I will be glad to provide a way
If you can find me
I'm here
I am here
I am here
I am here
I am here, here, here!
