A Ridiculous Man

He stands by the out bank
With his hat and his glove
And the tattered old grey coat
That he’s so proud of
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man

And everybody wants to know
Why he seems so glad
Why he feels so good when he looks so bad
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man

He’s got a cattle ranch in Argentina
He’s got an art museum in Pasadena
He’s got a bank in Switzerland
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s got a room full of Picasso
A library full of Rambeau
He goes swimmin’ with Cousteau
He’s a ridiculous man

He once thought everyone was acting and Everyone was strange
He thought еveryone was lying
Though it can be arrangеd
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man

So, he sat night and day
In a chair made of steel
Nothing bothered him
‘Cause he thought nothing was real
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man

He’s got a cattle ranch in Argentina
He’s got an art museum in Pasadena
He’s got a bank in Switzerland
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s got a room full of Picasso
A library full of Trousseau
He goes swimmin’ with Cousteau
He’s a ridiculous man

Now he walks through the dreams
Where Klieg lights stood
For the voluptuous allure of Hollywood
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man

And he laughs at himself in a city gone insane
He runs through burning buildings
Pulling people from the flames
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man
Such a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man
He’s a ridiculous man
