The colonel and me

from Diamond of a day by Robin Auld

/

lyrics

Me and the man get along just fine
he keeps to his and I watch mine
Sometimes we pass as we go our way
Smile and say lovely day


And it all became clear
the night I met Elvis
He didn’t look like I thought he should
but those words in my ear
I still hear them always
A little of the colonel in them
every one.

Me and the man got a special deal
I never blame him when he does not feel
I don’t scratch his back he don’t scratch mine
Everybody has a lovely time

And it all became clear
the night I met Elvis
He didn’t look like I thought he should
but those words in my ear
I still hear them always
A little of the colonel in them
every one.


Me and the man don’t fight no more
Since we both forgot what we were fighting for
Seems such a shame to spoil a lovely day
I’ll just wave and be on my way

And it all became clear
the night I met Elvis
He didn’t look like I thought he should
but those words in my ear
I still hear them always
A little of the colonel in them
every one.
