Cool Papa Bell - 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
