《Aerial Ballet》 作词 : Nilsson
When he was young he sang in the band
and the fans all looked the same
And the fans he had were younger than he
and they loved to scream his name
They'd leave at the end of the third show,
go home to talk of the fun
“Well isn't it nice”, the parents would say,
“well isn't nice you've got someone”
“Someone to idolize, ”
“he must look twice his size”
“I think it's great, you're going through a phase”
“And I'm awfully glad it will all be over in a couple of days”
Well the calendar changed and the pages fell off,
but the singer remained the same
And he never grew tired of singing his song,
and his fans still called his name
They'd leave at the end of the second show,
go home to talk of the fun
For most of the fans were married by then,
so they had to be in by one
“I'm awfully glad", the husbands would say,
"I'm awfully glad you got someone"
"Someone I realize, "
"who used to look twice his size"
"I think it's great you still remember his name"
"And I'll bet if he knew you were there for the show"
"He'd be awfully glad you came"
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"to speak of other things"
Like a fallen star who works in a bar
where Yesterday is king
The fans will stay for an hour or so,
they still remember his fame
"But the time has come", the Walrus said,
"to call your fans by name"
