Hello sir
Is this seat free
I'd like to tell you something
Something 'bout me
I'm an expert in the martial arts
I break bricks with my body parts
I'm an educated man, a real scholar
Ninth grade and never went to college
I'm a dedicated devotee of lao tse
You know who that is? well I bet that you do
I'm the greatest lover you've never known
It's through choice that I live alone
I am rich, I have a house in santa barbara
I have two daughters and they're both called clara
I'm a jewel thief, I'm an astronaut
I had a pocket full of rubies until I got caught
I'm a lawyer so I beat that rap
I look good in a suit and I talk alit of crap
I'm a convict, i've done time
In a jail in new mexico, I forget the crime
I'm a poet and I'd put it all down
But fact and fiction keep swimming around
I'm a fish, a golden carp
I like to play the blues on a c harp

I'm a drunk and I'm a philosopher
If you want a c harp, just make me an offer
I'm a gentleman of leisure. I have all day
To sit on a bench and talk my balls away
I see you are leaving, you have things to do
Oh to be a busy busy person like you
You must be somebody, someone important
Like a doctor or a nurse or a hotel porter
A salesman or a judge, a gardener or a gutterpunk
Or maybe like me you're just a drunk
My mind is in pieces and the pieces are sharp
I like to play the blues on a c harp

I'm talking to myself and I'm not making sense
But anyone who does is making a pretense
I'm a clairvoyant, I'm a card sharp
I'm a drunk playing the blues on a c harp
Hello sir
Is this seat free
I'd like to tell you something
Something 'bout me
Hello sir
I see this seat is free
I'd like to tell you something 'bout me
