It’s a little bit funny, this book about Reg
He’s not one of those who can easily lie
He’s got a great story, but, it’s more than that
He’s done more than most and wants you to know
If he was a straight man, heh, but then again no
More like a fabulous drag queen in a Broadway show
It’s often too much but it’s the least he can do
His gift is his work and it’s all for you
And you can tell everybody this is his song
It’s really well written and now that it’s done
He hopes you don’t mind, he hopes you don’t mind
That he put down in words
How wonderful life’s been for Sir Elton John
He’s sat on a bench and kicked out the stool
Well a few of the concerts, well, he can’t quite recall
The public was quite kind while he fell apart
It’s people like you that still keep him tuned on
So excuse his excesses, but these things he did
See, he hasn’t forgotten when he was so blue
Anyway, the thing is, what he really means
He loves this world, no matter how it seems
And you can tell everybody this is his song
It’s really well written and now that it’s done
He hopes you don’t mind, he hopes you don’t mind
That he put down in words
How wonderful life’s been for Sir Elton John
He hopes you don’t mind, he hopes you don’t mind
That he put down in words
How wonderful life’s been for Sir Elton John
*Forgive me, Mr. Taupin.
