(Warren Zevon and Larry Klein)
I`ve got a bitter pot of je ne sais quoi
Guess what-I`m stirring it with a monkey`s paw
Since I saw you coming out of my barber`s shop
In that skimpy little halter top
Did you light the candles? Did you put on `Kind of Blue?`
Did you use that Ivy League voodoo on him, too?
He thinks he`ll be alright but he doesn`t know for sure
Like every other unindicted coconspirator
Mata Hari had a house in France
Where she worked on all her secret plans
Men were falling for her sight unseen
She was a genius
There`s a a face in every window of the Songwriters` Neighborhood
Everybody`s your best friend when you`re doing well-I mean good
The poet who lived next door when you were young and poor
Grew up to be a backstabbing entrepreneur
Albert Einstein was a ladies` man
While he was working on his universal plan
He was making out like Charlie Sheen
He was a genius
When you dropped me and you staked your claim
On a V.I.P. who could make your name
You latched on to him and I became
A minor inconvenience
Your protege don`t care about art
I`m the one who always told you you were smart
You broke my heart into smithereens
And that took genius
You and the barber make a handsome pair
Guess what-I never liked the way he cut your hair
I didn`t like the way he turned your head
But there`s nothing I can do or say I haven`t done or said
Everybody needs a place to stand
And a method for their schemes and scams
If I could only get my record clean
I`d be a genius Send " Genius" Ringtone to your Cell
