Lyrics
Mary's Tune
Feel like a crow
picking up a brand new dime
Feel like a crow
picking up a brand new dime
Darn well know
he found him something good this time
Thought I was pretty smart
I guess I didn't know enough
Thought I was pretty smart
I guess I didn't know enough
you taught me mercy
baby when the game got rough
You know me better
sometime than I know myself
You know me better
sometime than I know myself
and I'm not afraid to ask you
for a little help
Your blue eyes girl
see how they shine
Your blue eyes girl
see how they shine
like a couple of stars
in a glass of champagne wine
You could be the lightning
I could be the thunder clap
You could be the lightning
I could be the thunder clap
you'd talk so bright
and baby I could answer back
If I were Fidel Castro
you could light my big cigar
If I were Fidel Castro
you could light my big cigar
shine on like my glowing coal
shine on like my lucky star
If I were Harry Houdini
there'd be no escaping you
If I were Harry Houdini
there'd be no escaping you
because that would be
a crazy thing to do
If I were the Dalai Lama
you know that you would be my smile
If I were the Dalai Lama
you know that you would be my smile
cool and calm
and laughing all the while
Feel like a crow
picking up a brand new dime
Feel like a crow
picking up a brand new dime
Darn well know
he found him something good this time
Darn well know
he found him something good this time
Darn well know
he found him something good this time
