Smallest Man In The World |
What do you say when you see him out on the street? |
What’s he get paid? |
Where does he find shoes for those feet? |
Does he feel extra-special, like he’s blessed and he’s cursed? |
When he says, «It's no big deal», don’t it kinda sound rehearsed? |
Well, I’ve heard he’s a charmer, but he runs hot and cold |
Whatever he is, he’s the smallest man in the world |
I saw him one time on Bourbon Street outside a bar |
As he climbed from the back of a shiny black Lincoln Town Car |
Where can he hang out when he wants to lay low? |
And when he looks in the mirror, where does he go? |
When he boxes his shadow, which one takes the fall? |
Whatever he does, he’s the smallest man in the world |
Where can he sit when he just has to have a good view? |
When he’s called a liar, well how much can he really prove? |
They say he’s been married, he put in his time |
Lived in a tower and blew his own mind |
Don’t he feel like a child when the waitress says, «Doll»? |
(«What can I get you doll?») |
Whatever she says, he’s the smallest man in the world |
Smallest man in the world |
(Where you runnin' off to there, little fella? Ah, look at him go) |
