Art Garfunkel - Mr. Shuck 'n' Jive lyrics

Tell us once again this morning, old friend how did you win the war? Everybody loves a hero, it won't matter if we've heard your tale before Tell us of the time when almost everybody knew you were a star And how intelligent you are Prove that you're alive Mr. Shuck 'n Jive Tell us of the man who stole your for- tune and nearly ruined your life. Or better still-the one about the t.v. and the couch and your best friends' wife Tell us of grand projects never finished with somebody else to blame And all the reasons that your fame never did arrive Mr. Shuck 'n Jive If you can get yourself together kindly write a criticism of this song How it's exquisitely constructed, yet mechanical, and somehow slightly wrong Put it in your book about the enemy you never even met You know, you just might make it yet- But I don't think you'll survive Mr. Shuck 'n Jive You know, you just might make it yet- Mr. Shuck 'n Jive
