You Can Call Me Al Lyrics
Artist(Band):Paul Simon
Review The Song (42)Print the Lyrics
A man walks down the street
He says why am I soft in the middle now
Why am I soft in the middle
The rest of my life is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard
Bonedigger Bonedigger
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away my well-lit door
Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al

A man walks down the street
He says why am I short of attention
Got a short little span of attention
And wo my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family
What if I die here
Who'll be my role-model
Now that my role-model is
Gone Gone
He ducked back down the alley
With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
All along along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al

Review about You Can Call Me Al

a | Reviewer: Jimmy | 6/5/09

Did someone just claim Dylan's Desolation Row is gibberish? There is a a distinct difference between a lack of understanding and lack of meaning. Many of Dylan's songs are simply songs, but Desolation Row is not unintelligible by any means.



the best | Reviewer: sam | 3/27/09

Paul Simon you are one of my favorite singers and i am 11 years old so you are still a hit.My favourite songs are diamonds on the soles of her shoes , you can call me al , homelless, the obvious child and me and julio down by the school yard I listen to them over and over again there the best so thanks for the great songs.



hmm | Reviewer: jackholden | 3/12/09

Sometimes I think Simon is playing with us. Close study of these lyrics seems to indicate they're just words thrown on a page. Same thing with Dylan. Study "Desolation Row" sometime. Once the drugs wear off, it appears to be gibberish.

Can't get it out of my head! :) | Reviewer: Briezy | 11/24/08

I love this song! I first heard it a few years ago at a University of Florida basketball game (it's kind of a theme song/tradition for the b-ball games). Anyways, my husband I have been listening to it for the last week or so pretty consistently and I can't get it out of my head! I keep humming, bouncing around the house to the beat, and blasting it in the car. It still hasn't gotten old yet. Great song!!!



great | Reviewer: XXXXX | 11/7/08

yeah the video is kind of ambivalent sad but uplifting its like hey lifes crazy and rough but its so beautiful to i think the song also speaks of the different moods and faces that we see life in this crazy corroded conflicting culture that loves all the great stuff in life and the garbage that comes with it, and helps us stick to the better parts, 1



thanks, Paul | Reviewer: howard hart | 3/10/08

Images, message and a great river of rythym to flow upon. Yeah, ...why I am soft in the middle, I've got a short little span of attention. Mr. Simon, you have left the world a much better place!



Real Art | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/5/08

Paul Simon is realy what we call ARTISTIC ARTIST compare to others that we should call BUSINESS ARTISTS. Paul Simon will stay forever as a reference.
Thank you Paul!



bat-faced-girl | Reviewer: celeste | 11/8/07

that's a pretty story
and you can call me all is a great song, I have to admit I laugh every time I see the video, even when it's the 15 time I watch it... it's kind of sad, but I don't know, it's encouraging somehow.
