Cool Papa Bell Songtext
von Paul Simon

It turns out to be
A great thing for me
I don′t worry (And)
I don't think (Because)
It′s not my job to worry or to think

Not me
I'm more like:
"Everyday I'm here I′m grateful"
And that′s the gist of it
Now you may call that a bogus, bullshit, new-age point of view,
But check out my tattoo
Says: "Wall-to-wall fun"
Does everyone know everyone,
Mr. Wall-to-wall fun?

Meet Doctor well, well, well,
And Cool Papa Bell,
The fastest man on Earth did dwell as
Cool Papa Bell


Motherfucker
Ugly word
Ubiquitous and often heard
As a substitute for someone's Christian name,
And I think "Yeah, the word is ugly... All the same."
Ugly got a chase to make,
It′s not like every rodent gets a birthday cake
No, it's: "you′re a chipmunk, how cute is that?"
But you, you motherfucker, are a filthy rat

And well, well, well,
Is it true Papa Bell,
That the beauties go to heaven
And the ugly go to hell,
Cool Papa Bell?
(Back to the tubas)

Have you all heard the news:
"Heaven finally found"?
Okay, it's six trillion light years away
But we′re all gonna get there someday
Yes, we're all gonna get there one day
(And we're all gonna get, we′re all gonna get)

But, but not you.
You stay and explain the suffering,
And the pain you caused
The thrill you feel when evil dreams come true


Check out my tattoo!
It says "Wall-to-wall fun"
Does everyone know everyone,
Mr. Wall-to-wall fun?

Meet Doctor well, well, well,
And Cool Papa Bell,
The fastest man on Earth did dwell as
Cool Papa Bell

And you′re never gonna stop
You're never gonna stop
You′re never gonna stop
You're never gonna stop
You′re never gonna stop
You're never gonna stop
You′re never gonna stop
You're never gonna stop
You're never gonna stop
