A Talk with George Jonathan Coulton

[Verse 1]
There's a tall thin man standing in the shadows
When he calls your name, his voice is strong and clear
It's a dark and smoky place
So you can't quite see his face
He pulls you close and whispers in your ear

[Verse 2]
And he tells you he was born into some money
But it didn't mean he had to sit around
And he knows a thing or two
About the things that you should do
If you don't want to take life lying down
First of all hang out a lot with Hemingway
Spend some time fighting bulls in Spain
You should go three rounds with
Archie Moore and Sugar Ray
So damn scary you won't mind the pain

[Verse 3]
Be ringside at the Rumble in the Jungle
Make friends with Hunter S. and Jackie O
And when they shoot poor Bobby down
You wrestle Sirhan to the ground
Love your friends and miss them when they go
You should write a book or two and start a magazine
Even if it never makes a dime
You should swing out by your feet
Above the circus ring
At the very least throw parties all the time
