Jimmy Buffett - Death of an Unpopular Poet слова песни
By: jimmy buffett1973I once knew a poetWho lived before his timeHe and his dog spoonerWould listen while hed rhymeWords to make ya happyWords to make you cryThen one day the poet suddenly did dieBut he left behind a closetFilled with verse and rhymeAnd through some strange transactionOne was printed in the timesAnd everybodys searchinFor the king of undergoundWell they found him down in floridaWith a tombstone for a crownEverybody knows a lineFrom his book that cost four ninety-nineI wonder if he knows hes doinQuite this finecause his books are all best sellersAnd his poems were turned to songHad his brother on a talk showThough they never got alongAnd now hes called immortalYes hes even taught in schoolThey say he used his talentsA most proficient toolBut he left all of his royaltiesTo spooner his ol houndGrowin old on steak and baconIn a doghouse ten feet roundAnd everybody wondersDid he really lose his mindNo he was just a poet who lived before his timeHe was just a poet who lived before his time
