《Death Of An Unpopular Poet(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Death Of An Unpopular Poet - Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:10] I once knew a poet

[00:00:15] Lived before his time

[00:00:20] He and his dog Spooner

[00:00:25] Listen while he'd rhyme

[00:00:30] Words to make you happy

[00:00:34] Words to make you cry

[00:00:41] Then one day the poet

[00:00:46] Suddenly did die

[00:00:50] But he left behind a closet

[00:00:55] Filled with verse and rhyme

[00:01:00] Through some strange transaction

[00:01:04] One was printed in the Times

[00:01:11] And everybody's searchin'

[00:01:14] For the king of underground

[00:01:21] Well they found him down in Florida

[00:01:26] With a tombstone for a crown

[00:01:32] Everybody knows a line

[00:01:37] From his book that cost four ninety nine

[00:01:42] I wonder if he knows he's doin'

[00:01:47] Quite this fine

[00:01:51] 'Cause his books are all best sellers

[00:01:56] And his poems were turned to song

[00:02:00] Had his brother on a talk show

[00:02:05] Though they never got along

[00:02:12] And now he's called immortal

[00:02:15] Yes he's even taught in school

[00:02:22] They say he used his talents

[00:02:28] A most proficient tool

[00:02:32] But he left all of his royalties

[00:02:37] To Spooner his old hound

[00:02:42] Growin' old on steak and bacon

[00:02:46] In a doghouse ten feet 'round

[00:02:53] And everybody wonders

[00:02:56] Did he really lose his mind

[00:03:03] No he was just a poet who lived before his time

[00:03:13] He was just a poet who lived before his time
