Simon Lyrics

Rosie Simpson took a foreign cruise just before the war She met a man in the fatherland cruising the Salzburg bars Al was a dove and a math whiz a product of German science He and Rosie laid down that night ?Couldn't care?, worked it out on paper (chorus) Simon never knows why he gets A's and the others just beat their heads Simon never had a care 'til he heard all the stories about his dad Stories about his dad Rosie went back to the states The world was catching fire She discovered she was three weeks late Simon showed up nine months later (chorus) Simon never knows why he gets A's and the others just beat their heads Simon never had a care 'til he heard all the stories about his dad Stories about his dad He read the headlines every day A secret for him to share And he realized in a flash of white light His dad equaled M-C-squared (chorus) Simon never knows why he gets A's and the others just beat their heads Simon never had a care 'til he heard all the stories about his dad Stories about his dad Simon finally found his roots though he never met his dad But we now heard Simon's name He said to himself, "that's the best idea I ever had." (chorus) Simon never knows why he gets A's and the others just beat their heads Simon never had a care 'til he heard all the stories about his dad Stories about his dad (repeat "Stories about his dad" and fade)
