Mrs. Jones

Sha la la la la la la - uh uh

I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this

yellow-haired girl Mr. Jones strikes up a

conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer

She dances while his father plays guitar

She´s suddenly beautiful

We all want something beautiful

I wish I was beautiful

So come dance this silence down through the morning

Sha la la la la la la la - yeah, uh uh - yeah

Cut up, Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances

Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones

Believe in me

Help me believe in anything

Cause I want to be someone who believes

Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales

Stare at the beatiful women

"She´s looking at you. Ah, no, no, she´s looking at me."

Smiling in the bright lights

Coming through in stereo

When everybody loves you

you can never be lonely

I will paint my picture

Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray

All of the beautiful colors are

very very meaningful

Gray is my favorite color

I felt so symbolic yesterday

If I knew Picasso

I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Mr. Jones and me look into the future

Stare at the beautiful women

"She´s looking at you. Uh, I don´t think so. She´s looking at me."

Standing in the spotlight

I bought myself a gray guitar

When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

I want to be a lion

Everybody wants to pass as cats

We all want to be big big stars,

but we got different reasons for that

Believe in me because I don´t believe in anything

and I want to be someone to believe

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio

Yeah we stare at the beautiful women

"She´s perfect for you, Man, there´s got to be somebody for me."

I want to be Bob Dylan

Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky

When everybody loves you,

son, that´s just about as funky as you can be

Mr. Jones and me staring at the video

When I look at the television,

I want to see me staring right back at me

We all want to be big stars,

but we don´t know why and we don´t know how

But when everybody loves me,

I´m going to be just about as happy as I can be

Mr. Jones and me, we´re gonna be big stars ....
