| Let me sing you a song about Vegas town and poor old Howard
|
| Locked up there in his hotel suite
|
| trying to find his shoes
|
| Well he’s got so much to lose
|
| Poor ol Howard Hughes and all of his pues
|
| Well his nurses and his chauffers all stand around and sigh
|
| Watch the door and wait on him
|
| Whatever’s on his mind
|
| And that’s a hell of a lot to do
|
| Just To gaurd old Howard Hughes and all his blues
|
| And if he didn’t have a nickel
|
| if he didn’t have a dime
|
| He could do whatever he damn well please
|
| And do it all the time
|
| But success is just a mess of overdue news
|
| Poor old Howard Hughes and all of his blues
|
| Well he’s always in the appers
|
| He’s awlays one the news
|
| But no one knows Hughes are who
|
| Or even what’s the truth
|
| or who is getting screwed
|
| Indtead you know who and all of his blues
|
| And way down younder on the Vegas strip where the regular people pass
|
| Someone said he’s not to well
|
| Heard he’s sinking fast
|
| But that’s unoffical sources to the news
|
| About poor old Howard Hughes and all of his blues
|
| And if he didn’t have a nickel
|
| if he didn’t have a dime
|
| He could do whatever he damn well please
|
| And do it all the time
|
| But success is just a mess of overdue news
|
| Poor old Howard Hughes and all of his blues
|
| Now everybody is writing them books about him
|
| And some of them are awful long
|
| Didn’t really have that much time
|
| So I thought I’d just write this song
|
| Kind of get in a few licks too
|
| About poor old Howard Hughes and all of his blues
|
| And if he didn’t have a nickel
|
| if he didn’t have a dime
|
| He could do whatever he damn well please
|
| And do it all the time
|
| But success is just a mess of overdue news
|
| Poor old Howard Hughes and all of his blues |
