Im not the wreck of the Hesperus Feel more like the Wall of China Getting old as Methuselah Feel tall as the Eiffel Tower
Im not a power of attorney But I can rock as good as Gibraltar Aint no more no spring chicken Been plucked but Im still kicking
(But its all right Its all right)
Poison penmen sneak, have no nerve to speak Make up lies then they leak em out Behind a pseudonym, the rottenness in them Reaching out, trying to touch me
Met some Oscars and Tonys I slipped on a pavement oyster Met a snake climbing ladders Got out of the line of fire
(But its all right)
Brainless writers gossip nonsenses To other heads dense as they is Its the same old malady What they see is faulty
Im not the wreck of the Hesperus Feel more like Big Bill Broonzy Getting old as my mother But I tell you, I got some company
(But its all right)
But its all right, its all right But its all right, its all right Its all right, all right Its all right
