All My Friends Are Semi-Famous Lyrics

All my friends are semi-famous More than Andy, less than Amos The Guinness book can't quite claim us My ex-backup singer's ex-husband's brother in law Invented velcro He sold the patent She disowned him My ex-neighbor's ex-husband's great great uncle Was a supreme court justice who determined That the tomato is a fruit Or at least it was at the time According to U.S. law And my ex-girl friend sued the power company for muzzling her freedom of speech she's a reporter She won - they issued an order - she can't talk about it But I can...but I don't know anything about it All my friends are semi-famous Some people sometimes sort of acclaim us less than Spins but more than Martys people look up when we show up at parties My mom went to high school with the ex-wife of the ex-Director of the CIA She wasn't ex til thirty years later And thirty years later Pete Seeger stepped on her foot It was my mom's foot But the CIA made him do it My friend Chris talked James Watt into using bamboo stakes at an angle Instead of chemicals straight in To keep the dogs off his rhododendrons And not only that, Jerry Brown cleaned his truck All my friends are semi-famous Even to an ex-ignoramous The government would like to blame us But they can't quite name us And I........... I gave a speech when I was 19 and Zbigniew Brzezinski asked 3 questions, and I don't remember what they were cause they were really really really dumb, OK? And also, I was interviewed on the BBC World Service And 40 million people heard me, all over India and two of them still remember it and I'll never meet them And one's probably a professor of popular culture With a focus on political satire And the other's probably really, really really cute But it's all right I'm very very very very semi-famous in my own house All my friends are semi-famous More than Andy, less than Amos The Guinness book can't quite claim us
