Al Stewart - Red Toupee feat. Tori Amos

to catalina on a fishing boat


we call it henry cisneros


we got no money but we stay afloat


the jellyfishes don't scare us


you're telling everybody life's a ball


too many pleasures to mention


you do a cartwheel in the shopping mall


you seem to get their attention





in your red toupee


in your red toupee





you take your number to a broadway play


it keeps her well out of danger


you're blowing bubbles in the matinee


you never looked any stranger





in your red toupee


in your red toupee





people say that you're unusual


you just tell them they're confused


if only they were more like you


they'd brighten up their day





in your red toupee


in your red toupee





promenades in furs and laces


people put on airs and graces


bedroom eyes in boardroom faces


oh where will it lead





to catalina on a fishing boat


we call it henry cisneros


we got no money but we stay afloat


those jellyfishes don't scare us





in our red toupees


oh we got our red toupees


in your mauve toupee


turquoise toupee


in your green toupee


cerise toupee


why are you wearing that strange toupee
