Текст Paul Simon – Cool Papa Bell

It turns out to be
A great thing for me
I don’t worry (and)
I don’t think (because)

I’m more like ‘everyday I’m here I’m grateful’
And that’s the gist of it
Now you may call that a bogus, bullshit
New-age point of view
But check out my tattoo says wall-to-wall fun
Does everyone know everyone
Mr. wall-to-wall fun

We got the well, well, well
And Cool Papa Bell
The fastest man on Earth did dwell
As Cool Papa Bell

Motherfucker!
Ugly word!
Ubiquitous and often heard
As a substitute for someone’s christian name
And I think ‘yeah, the word is ugly, all the same’
Ugly got a chase to make
It’s not like every rodent gets a birthday cake
No, it’s ‘you’re a chipmunk, how cute is that?’
But you, you motherfucker, are a filthy rat!

And well, well, well
Is it true Papa Bell?
That the beauties go to heaven
And the ugly go to hell
Cool Papa Bell?

(Let the tubas cry!)

Have you all heard the news?
‘Heaven finally found!’
Okay, it’s six trillion light years away
But we’re all gonna get there someday
Yes, we’re all gonna get there one day

But, but not you!
You stay and explain the suffering
And the pain you caused
The thrill you feel when evil dreams come true

Check out my tattoo!
It says ‘wall-to-wall fun’
Does everyone know everyone
Mr. wall-to-wall fun

We got the well, well, well
And Cool Papa Bell
The fastest man on Earth did dwell as
Cool Papa Bell

And you’re never gonna stop
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
You know, you know you
Are never gonna stop, never gonna stop
