Mr. Smooth - Michael Franks

Mr. Smooth - Michael Franks
In every city whether it be large or small
His tired playlist drones
But some of us remember how much choice there was
Before he took the throne
He's Mr Smooth His Hipness the Great
For Mr Smooth's verdict we must wait
So Mr Smooth when our turn comes round
Dear Mr Smooth we only hope it won't be thumbs down
His power and reputation he earned cleverly
Play fifteen-second tracks
Then just tape the electrodes to the average Joe
To see how he reacts
The rest of us mere mortals on the treadmill trace
Out work-a-day gulag
And strive for the tome until the day he falls from grace
And rivals fold the flag of Mr Smooth
We bow to Mr Smooth
Kowtow to Mr Smooth
We're stuck with Mr Smooth
Don't mess with Mr Smooth
