Number Three - They Might Be Giants

A rich man once told me, «Hey, life’s a funny thing»

A poor man once told me that he can’t afford to speak

Now I’m in the middle like a bird without a beak

Cause there’s just two songs in me and I just wrote the third

Don’t know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words

Spent my whole life just digging up my music’s shallow grave

For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

So I went to the President, and I asked old what’s-his-name

Has he ever gotten writer’s block or something like the same

He just started talking like he was on TV

«If there’s just two songs in ya, boy, whaddaya want from me?»

So I bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar

But I politely told the ladies, «You'll still have to call me Sir

Because I have to keep my self-respect — I’ll never be a star

Cause there’s just two songs in me and this is Number Three»
