Mr. Jones lyrics
Shalalalalalala
Hm
Aha
It was down at the New Amsterdam
Starin’ at this yellow-haired girl
Mister Jones strikes up a conversation
With the black-haired
Flamenco dancer
You know she dances
While his father plays guitar
She’s suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
So come dance this silence
Down through the mornin’
Shalalalalalalala, yeah!
Aha
Yeah!
Cut up, Maria!
Show me some of that Spanish dancin’
Yeah, pass me a bottle
Mister Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
’Cause I
I wanna be someone
Who believes
Yeah!
Mister Jones and me
Tell each other fairy tales
And we stare at the beautiful women
“She’s not lookin’ at you.”
“Ah, no no
She’s lookin’ at me.”
Smiling in the bright lights
Comin’ through in stereo
When everybody loves you
You can never be lonely
Well, I’m a paint my picture
Paint myself in blue and red and black and grey
All of the beautiful colors are
Very, very meaningful
Yeah, well, you know
Grey is my fav’rite color
I felt so symbolic
Yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a
Grey guitar and play
Mister Jones and me
Look into the future
Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women
“She’s not lookin’ at you.”
“I don’t think so
She’s lookin’ at me.”
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a grey guitar
When everybody loves me
I will never be
Lonely
I will never be lonely
Said I’m never gonna be
Lonely
I wanna be a lion
Yeah!
Everybody wanna pass as cats
We all wanna be big, big stars
Yeah, but
We got different reasons for that
Believe in me
’Cause I don’t believe in anything
And I
I wanna be someone
To believe
To believe
To believe, yeah!
Mister Jones and me
Stumblin’ through the Barrio
Yeah, we
Stare at the beautiful women
“She’s perfect for you”
“Man, there’s got to be
Somebody for me”
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mister Jones wishes he was someone
Just a little more funky
When everybody loves you
Ah son
That’s just about as funky
As you can be
Mister Jones and me
Starin’ at the video
When I look at the television
I wanna see me
Starin’ right back at me
We all wanna be big stars
But we don’t know why
And we don’t know how
But when everybody loves me
I wanna be
Just about as happy as I could be
Mister Jones and me
We gonna be big stars
