I wanna be a Billy Joel Song

Catchy and cool and underdog chic

Self Important, sure, but subtle enough that people agree

There are a lot of things that I'm not

Not too pretty, not too smart,

But neither is Billy

And I guess he's doing fine!

 

And what would be nice about being a Billy Joel Song

Is

Even people who hate them

Sway in the grocery store-

Unconsciously, thoughtlessly,

When "Uptown Girl" plays
