He's a statue with a walkman Knows his hemoglobin count Statue with a walkman Also the correct amount Pretty day, pretty walkman, pretty sound He's a statue with a walkman Actually, he's lying down Statue with a walkman Butterflies upon his crown Pretty day, pretty rooster, pretty sound He's a statue with a walkman Basking in the dying rays Statue with a walkman Hardly moves at all these days We're all different versions of The same thing We're all different versions of The same thing Yeah, they say that old Statue with a walkman, he don't seem to Get around like he used toDon't See him in the forest, near The clearing Where the kindly old lady livesDon't see him Moseying up to the three bears saying "Mind if I join you?" Don't see him leaning over the Shoulder of Goldilocks as she Ruffles through the hip-hop section At Sam GoodyDon't see Him perched on the Town Hall Looking sheepish with a parachute Thinking, "It's made of silkAin't made Of milkBut it won't get me to the ground 'cause I'm stuck on the roof"no Don't see him inside the library Books trying to look up Irving Berlin in the section For sixteenth century literature No!

And he Said, "You get it, boyI make More money than you" Well, i Deposited my ladle in that old barrel And I strode to the window To observe what could be taking Place outside of the window First I pealed back lovingly the French window curtains then I pushed open the windows themselvesThere Was a light summer breeze, it was July the Twenty-ninthThe stars were twinkling And on the rich jeweled Gravel terrace, there, stood that old Statue with a walkman reading a book To himself in the moonlight yeah
