"The way I see it," he said "You just can t win it... Everybody s in it for their own gain You can t please em all There s always somebody calling you down I do my best And I do good business There s a lot of people asking for my time They re trying to get ahead They re trying to be a good friend of mine I was a free man in Paris I felt unfettered and alive There was nobody calling me up for favors And no one s future to decide You know I d go back there tomorrow But for the work I ve taken on Stoking the star maker machinery Behind the popular song I deal in dreamers And telephone screamers Lately I wonder what I do it for If l had my way I d just walk through those doors And wander Down the Champs Elysees Going cafe to cabaret Thinking how I ll feel when I find That very good friend of mine I was a free man in Paris I felt unfettered and alive Nobody was calling me up for favors No one s future to decide You know I d go back there tomorrow But for the work I ve taken on Stoking the star maker machinery Behind the popular song." |
