From the recording The Cutting Room Floor
Lyrics
He was standing there, jus‘ standing there
like a bump on a log jus‘ lookin’ down
he was standin there, jus‘ standin there,
but I didn't say a thing
He's a sensational American talk show host
That's his claim to fame
He was a quiet sort
And really short
And Cavett is his name
He was standin there, just standin there
backstage at a gig
He was standin there, just standin there,
also not very big
It was American rock star icon Jim
Morrison by me
Just before he died
I looked into his eyes
But there was no repartee
Solo
Bridge
And once in Seattle at a restaurant
Speaking French to a table nearby
I Thot I recognized the man that's all
And our waiter said its Gore Vidal !
Joanne Worley, Bobby Sherman, Sajid Kahn and Tommy Boyce
Mark Lindsay, Willy Nelson
Who was wearing a rhinestone suit
They were standin there, just standin there
My celebrities
They were standin there, just standin there
Cuz they’re jus like you an‘ me
Desi Arnaz, Eric Burden
My celebrities
They were standin there, just standin there
Cuz they’re jus like you an’ me
