Lyrics
Hey man, sitting alone in your mansion,
Hey man, counting up coins for the pension that you never had,
Don?t worry; you?ll always be cool to me!
Hey man, no one could sing in the way that you could,
And playing guitar was what kept you in beautiful cars,
So don?t worry; you?ll always be cool to me!
Everybody wanted you to sing them serenades,
But you never wanted to just randomly get laid.
Hey man, don?t ever think of the money you lost,
Your favourite guitar sold for millions more than it cost,
So don?t worry; you?ll always be cool to me!
Hey man, sitting alone in your mansion,
Hey man, counting up coins for the pension that you never had,
Don?t worry; you?ll always be cool to me!
