show business giants – you can count the rings lyrics
you can count the rings around your collar when you’re
naked
slip into your dressing gown and write a cheque and
make it out for cleaning
you can count the rings around anything at all
lapping the competition
holding down the pole position
you can count the names you know on the backs of the
chairs in the theatre when you see the show, i’ll bet you
find they do those cushions fit your bottom, too
and how’d you like your own
comfy little throne
see your beaming face
in the trophy case
then no one could say that you did not do all that you
could do
you can count the rings to see how long
this type of thing’s been going on
you can count the rings and you can
feed the world, tuppence a bag
huddlеd masses in a row all snapping for the bones you
throw thеm
god forbid that…
you could count the rings around your eyes from lack of
sleep
if they thought you’re being cheap
what’s it that you do, up in xanadu
whyn’t you come on down, spread the wealth around?
when you’ve mopped all the milk you’ve spilt up, raise
another glass free of guilt
you can count the rings inside the tallest tree that
towered
when it’s been cut down ’ and died, a monument to
power, wealth and pride
you can count the rings inside
anything at all
acrobats and matadors
know what the center ring is for
but if your ring should turn to brass
that’s no skin off your ass
