LEVON

Le-von wears his war wound like a crown
4    7    7    -7  -6 65-45
He calls his child Je-sus
6      5    6    5   7-6
'Cause he likes the name
5   -5   6    6   6  5  -6   6     6   6  5-4
And he sends him to the fin-est school in town
5   6   -6 -6   -6    4   5  5  
Le-von, Le-von likes his mon-ey
4    7   7  -7  -6  -66
He makes a lot they say
6      6   6    7     -6
Spend his days count-ing
5 -5  6   6  5   6  -6  6   5
In a gar-age by the mo-tor-way

5   6   -6 -7*-8   8  -8 8  7
He was born a pau-per to a pawn 
-6 7   -8    8   7
on a Christ-mas day
-6    7  -8   8     7    -6  -8  8   7
When the New York Times said God is dead 
-6   7   -8    8  7
And the war's be-gun
-8  8   7  -6  -8  8  7  -6 -66
Al-vin Tos-tig has a son to-day
-6  -6   7   7   8  7
And he shall be Le-von
6   -6  7    7 -6  8  -66-6
And he shall be a good man
6   -6  7    7   8  7
And he shall be Le-von
6   -6 7   -6   7   -6   8   -8  7-8
In tra-di-tion with the fam-‘ly plan
6   -6   7   7   8  7
And he shall be Le-von
6   -6   7   7 -6  8  -66-6
And he shall be a good man
-9   8   7  -6  6
He shall be Le-von

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies
