Genius |
I’ve got a bitter pot of je ne sais quoi |
Guess what, I’m stirring it with a monkey’s paw |
Since I saw you coming out of my barber’s shop |
In that skimpy little halter top |
Did you light the candles? |
Did you put on «Kind of Blue?» |
Did you use that Ivy League voodoo on him too? |
He thinks he’ll be alright, but he doesn’t know for sure |
Like every other unindicted coconspirator |
Mata Hari had a house in France |
Where she worked on all her secret plans |
Men were falling for her sight unseen |
She was a genius |
There’s a face in every window |
Of the Songwriters' Neighborhood |
Everybody’s your best friend when you’re doing well |
I mean good |
The poet who lived next door when you were young and poor |
Grew up to be a backstabbing entrepreneur |
Albert Einstein was a ladies' man |
While he was working on his universal plan |
He was making out like Charlie Sheen |
He was a genius |
When you dropped me and you staked your claim |
On a V.I.P. |
who could make your name |
You latched on to him and I became |
A minor inconvenience |
Your protege don’t care about art |
I’m the one who always told you you were smart |
You broke my heart into smithereens |
And that took genius |
You and the barber make a handsome pair |
Guess what, I never liked the way he cut your hair |
I didn’t like the way he turned your head |
But there’s nothing I can do or say I haven’t done or said |
Everybody needs a place to stand |
And a method for their schemes and scams |
If I could only get my record clean |
I’d be a genius |
