Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
A man walks down the street
He says, "Why am I soft in the middle now?
Why am I soft in the middle
When the rest of my life is so hard?
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at redemption
Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a cartoon graveyard"
Bonedigga, bonedigga
Dogs in the moonlight
Far away from my welded room
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly
Get these mutts away from me, you know
I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al
A man walks down the street
He says, "Why am I short of attention?
Got a short little span of attention
All my nights are so long
Where's my wife and family?
What if I die here?
Who'll be my role model
Now my role model's gone, gone?"
Duck back down the alley
With some roly-poly
Little bat-faced girl
All along, all along
There were incidents and accidents
There were hints and allegations
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al
You can call me Al
A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the third world
Maybe it's the first time around
Don't speak the language
Holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by
The sound, the sound
Of cattle in the marketplace
A scattering of orphanages
He looks around and around
He sees angels in the architecture
"Spin me in infinity," he says
"Amen, hallelujah"
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al
You can call me
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can call you Betty
If you'll be my bodyguard
I can call you Betty
