THE MUGGER & ME (Song #1)
(Concept Album)
1
COULDN’T FIND A JOB SINGING
SO I PLAYED OUT FOR FREE
WENT DOWN TO THE PARK
A MUGGER WAITED FOR ME
2
HE SAID GIMMEE YOU’RE CAR KEYS
GIVE ME YOUR PHONE
GIVE ME ALL YOUR CASH
AND I’LL LEAVE YOU ALONE
3
SAID I AIN’T GOT NO MONEY
AND I DON’T OWN A CAR
I CAN’T AFFORD A CELL PHONE
AND I CAN’T WALK VERY FAR
4
I WASN’T FEELING THAT GREAT
BUT I CAME THERE TO SING
SAID GO AHEAD AND MUG ME
IT WON’T CHANGE A DAMN THING
THAT MUGGER AND ME
WE MADE A GREAT TEAM
BUT COULD WE MAKE IT TO THE BIG TIME
WE WOULD JUST HAVE TO SEE
THE MUGGER AND ME
WE MADE A GREAT TEAM
5
YOU SEE I’D HIT MY ROCK BOTTOM
AND I DIDN’T HAVE A DIME
I’M JUST HERE IN THE PARK
TRYING TO HAVE A GOOD TIME
6
HE LOOKED ME UP AND DOWN
AND WITH A SORROWFUL FACE SAID
YOU’RE WORSE OFF THAN ME
IT’S A DAMN DISGRACE
7
COULDN’T STEAL MY GUITAR
SAID HE DIDN’T HAVE THE HEART
DIDN’T LIKE TO BE A THIEF
HE JUST NEEDS A NEW START
8
SAID IF I’D PLAY HIM A SONG
HE WOULD LEAVE ME ALONE
HE’D JUST SIT BACK AND LISTEN
AND THEN HE WOULD GO HOME
(CHORUS)
9
SO I SANG HIM A SONG
LISTENED TO EVERY WORD
HE AP PLAUDED AND HE SMILED
SAID HE LIKED WHAT HE HEARD
10
SAID HE COULD BE MY AGENT
AND COULD MAKE ME A STAR
MAKE US BOTH FAMOUS
WE COULD GO VERY FAR
11
HE USED TO BE IN THE BUSINESS
LIVED IN BEVERLY HILLS
BUT LOST EVERYTHING HE HAD
TO BOOZE AND TO PILLS
12
SAID HE HAD A FEW CONTACTS
MAKE A CALL OR TWO
AND HE’D MEET ME HERE TOMORROW
AND TELL ME WHAT HE COULD DO
(CHORUS)
