lyrics version 1
Well whaddaya know
Local boy makes good
All his life a hood
And now he's a star
Showing far with his guitar
And strange looks
He even put his mind in a book
He's got wealth and fame
He's a household name
We never thought he'd make it
But you know he came out of nowhere man
He crossed the finish line
Says he's feeling fine
Drinking Japanese wine
And signing autographs
Just for a laugh
You know he never stops
For cops or hops on teeny bop
He drops his clothes
And blows his nose
Says all you need is love
And then gives you the flying glove
Ah
Local boy makes good
All his life a hood
And now he's a star
Showing far with his guitar
And strange looks
He even put his mind in a book
He's got wealth and fame
He's a household name
We never thought he'd make it
But you know he came out of nowhere man
He crossed the finish line
Says he's feeling fine
Drinking Japanese wine
And signing autographs
Just for a laugh
You know he never stops
For cops or hops on teeny bop
He drops his clothes
And blows his nose
Says all you need is love
And then gives you the flying glove
Ah
"Flying glove" is a reference to the Dreadful Flying Glove, a character in the Beatles animated movie Yellow Submarine
