lyrics

Dumbo
(Words by Paul van Dijk, Music by Paul van Dijk & Eric Gracient)

They wanted me to show them the disk I bought
I didn’t like their attitude and I just said no
Then I saw their t-shirts of the mighty Status Quo
“On the level” was the disk I didn’t show

They could have been my friends
I shouldn’t have said no
I regret that forever
Oh I’m such a dumbo

He bothered me, I wanted to get rid of him
Go see your mother and get off my back
But mercy, I forgot last month she died
He broke down in tears, it’s such a drag

He could have been my friend
It will not happen though
I regret that forever
Oh my I am such a dumbo

I ran towards the man walking in front of me
Bold, a raincoat, well indeed that must be my dad,
I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to see
It was a stranger, and I blushed furiously red

I hoped to see my dad
Though he passed years ago
I regret that forever
Oh I am such a dumbo
