His Majesty the Pedestrian |
||
The Pedestrian is a love song to the people. And it happened one time we were driving down Hollywood Boulevard. And we had a rather fashionable car and there were Rolls Royces to the right and there were Jaguars to the left and all of a sudden vrrrpppttt the whole line had to stop. So, I looked around the corner to see what the hang up was. And I saw one little pedestrian, hinka da dink, dink ka da dink, dink ka da dink. So, I looked at this cat and I figured he must be a very important man to stop this whole parade. So I did a little research on him and found out he built the buildings, he built the bridges, he built the airplanes, he built all the fine cooking recipes, he even built the automobiles that were trying run him down. So, I thought it would be nice if we said a little love song for him. So, it goes like this: His Majesty the Pedestrian You must never hit, ewww! a pedestrian Say, remember that nobility Here they come, who beh dee doop You'll never win a case against a pedestrian from "Studs Terkel Interview With Lord Buckley 1958" Transcribed by Michael Monteleone |
