Levon
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Taupin
Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
'Cause
he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town
Levon,
Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spend his days
counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on
a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's
begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today
Chorus
And he shall be Levon
And he
shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family
plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be
Levon
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
Repeat third verse
Chorus twice
