Simon - Glass Moon

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
