among the many moods of murray wilson
could there be
a little joy for his little boy
or is there only bitterness and jealousy

remember when he first played at the piano
you liked the sound you heard but you wouldn't say so
there's people in the world are gonna wish on his rainbow
later people i the know are gonna hand him his halo
but he don't care
he just wants someone to be there

among the many moods of murray wilson
should there be
a little pride welling up inside
to see him doing everything he ever dreamed

playing on the tv, ladies are screaming
shadowed by his cousin, all beady and scheming
always at the mercy of his emotion
lose it in a song about a girl in the ocean
under summer sun
but what happened to the fun, fun, fun?
