A Sing-along Song
Oz sent me a song. Here is what he said about it: “hey guess what bill?…i have wrote you a song based on the rolling stones tune you quoted in your blog site…’you can’t always get what you want’…
here goes…don’t forget to sing along…”
After begging and pleading with him, he has finally, with becoming humility, given me permission to post it.
So, don’t forget to sing along . . .
i saw him today at the local taste bud,
a cup of veggie stew in his hand.
i knew he surely would meet his rickshaw connection,
and discuss the fare on the way with the man.
no, you can’t always get what you want,
you can’t always get what you want,
you can’t always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes you might find,
you get what you need.
now bill went down to the local doctor,
to get his jaw tube removed with such care.
he stood in a long line full of others,
and man, he was looking quite debonair.
sandra decided to bring him some water,
his favorite, just tinted with ginger.
he wished he’d worn his new lungee
for the heat burned his thighs unbearably.
that’s when she said…
you can’t always get what you want,no!
you can’t always get what you want,
you can’t always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes you might find,
you get what you need.
so the monkeys, pigs and the cows were all happy,
as bill and his wife headed out into the day.
there is a moral to this great story,
and it’s hidden in what you meet each day…
i say, you can’t always get what you want,
you can’t always get what you want,
you can’t always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes you might find,
you get what you need.
