lyrics

He stands ten feet tall
He's got stainless steel balls
And he carries a bible and an axe

He can see through a lie
He can float and he can fly
And he can stop a locomotive in its tracks

He wrote "Ain't Too Proud"
And "Sunday Morning Coming Down"
Then he gave the lyrics to old Kris

He was there with JFK
And he couldn't saved the day
But he was counting on Lee Harvey to miss

He's an angel from the sky
He's the devil in disguise
He's knows what happened to Jimmy Hoffa

And not to disrespect the dead
But he drives faster than Earnhardt did
And when he walks it's one part samba one part bossa

Yes you've seen him in the movies
And you've seen him with the floosies
And you've seen his mansion on the sunset strip

He's just like Visa vis a vis
He's everywhere you wanna' be
And I only met him once but what a trip
