(I'm So) Waldo P. Emerson Jones Lyrics

You kids have such short memories
Last year you looked right through me
I was just a little man
But I used a lot of "Yes, I can!"

I used to watch and wonder how
At all the girls you would wow
But when you tried hard, then you find
That it's just a state of mind

Now, I'm so Waldo P. Emerson Jones
While you spent the summer topping up your tan
I was working on my image, now I'm a self made man
I could fill a notebook with all the paths I could have taken

I used to watch and wonder how
At all the girls you would wow
But when you tried hard Then you find
That it's just a state of mind

Now I'm so (Waldo P. Emerson Jones)
Waldo P. Emerson Jones (Waldo P. Emerson Jones)

It's not that drastic, I suppose
Just a hair cut and some different clothes
You don't change much when you change your name
You just feel better about being the same

I used to watch and wonder how
At all the girls you would wow
But when you tried hard, then you find
That it's just a state of mind

Now I'm so (Waldo P. Emerson Jones)
Waldo P. Emerson Jones (Waldo P. Emerson Jones)
Waldo P. Emerson Jones, at your service
