Pretzel Log

on Live At The Beacon (1991), The New York Rock and Soul Revue: Live at the Beacon (1991)

I would love to tour the south land
In a traveling minstrel show
I would love to tour the south land
In a traveling minstrel show

'Cause I'm dying to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on a phonograph
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago

I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time, find the time
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time, find the time

'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely, he's lonely still
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago

I stepped up on the platform
The man gave me the news
He said you must be joking
Where did you get those shoes?
Where did you get those shoes?

I've seen them on the TV, the movie show
They say the times are changing, but I just don't know
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago
