He was a friend and was a foe

Sometimes high, sometimes low

A lion in fictitious realms

A childish hero - overwhelmed



Like the wizard of Oz

Part in the world of prose



The true-stories-teller was always the fool

He's often been blamed, he's never known rules

Gone now forever, he's telling no more

We wished we had listened before

(They wished they had listened before)



He made us laugh and furious, too

Never knew what's lies or truth

Superman in wonderland

Played the buffoon till the end



Like the wizard of Oz

Part in a world of prose



The true-stories-teller was always the fool

He's often been blamed, he's never known rules

Gone now forever, he's telling no more

We wished we had listened before

(They wished they had listened before)



Like the wizard of Oz

Part in a world of prose



The true-stories-teller was always the fool

He's often been blamed, he's never known rules

Gone now forever, he's telling no more

We wished we had listened before

(They wished they had listened before)
