Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al(2021)

[00:15.31] A man walks down the street
[00:16.84] He says, "Why am I soft in the middle now?
[00:18.97] Why am I soft in the middle?
[00:20.72] The rest of my life is so hard
[00:22.82] I need a photo-opportunity
[00:24.13] I want a shot at redemption
[00:26.21] Don't want to end up a cartoon
[00:28.17] In a cartoon graveyard"
[00:29.92] Bonedigger, Bonedigger
[00:31.83] Dogs in the moonlight
[00:33.63] Far away, my well-lit door
[00:36.78] Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly
[00:39.05] Get these mutts away from me
[00:40.89] You know, I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
[00:44.74] If you'll be my bodyguard
[00:46.59] I can be your long-lost pal
[00:50.31]
[00:52.47] I can call you Betty
[00:53.98] And Betty, when you call me
[00:55.88] You can call me Al
[00:59.90] A man walks down the street
[01:01.53] He says, "Why am I short of attention?
[01:03.57] Got a short little span of attention
[01:05.56] And whoa, my nights are so long
[01:07.46] Where's my wife and family?
[01:09.11] What if I die here?
[01:11.04] Who'll be my role model?
[01:12.92] Now that my role model is gone, gone"
[01:16.27] He ducked back down the alley
[01:18.01] With some roly-poly, little bat-faced girl
[01:21.25] All along, along
[01:23.78] There were incidents and accidents
[01:25.53] There were hints and allegations
[01:29.09] If you'll be my bodyguard
[01:31.85] I can be your long-lost pal
[01:37.26] I can call you Betty
[01:38.81] And Betty, when you call me

[01:44.07] Call me Al
[01:45.53]
[02:29.99] A man walks down the street
[02:31.61] It's a street in a strange world
[02:33.40] Maybe it's the Third World
[02:35.32] Maybe it's his first time around
[02:37.30] He doesn't speak the language
[02:38.96] He holds no currency
[02:40.82] He is a foreign man
[02:42.63] He is surrounded by the sound, sound
[02:46.45] Cattle in the marketplace
[02:48.30] Scatterings and orphanages
[02:51.41] He looks around, around
[02:53.64] He sees angels in the architecture
[02:55.90] Spinning in infinity
[02:57.64] He says, "Amen and Hallelujah!"
[02:59.62] If you'll be my bodyguard
[03:01.27] I can be your long-lost pal
[03:04.63]
[03:07.01] I can call you Betty
[03:08.63] And Betty, when you call me
[03:10.72] You can call me Al
[03:13.83] Call me
[03:15.45]
[04:03.51] If you'll be my bodyguard
[04:05.79]
