Cool Papa Bell

PAUL SIMON · Stranger To Stranger 2016 · Track 08 of 13

Written by Paul Simon

It turns out to be A great thing for me I don't worry (and) I don't think (because) It's not my job to worry or to think

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 Chi-kow-bow-chika
