Death Of An Unpopular Poet - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]

I once knew a poet[00:00:10]

Lived before his time[00:00:15]

He and his dog Spooner[00:00:20]

Listen while he'd rhyme[00:00:25]

Words to make you happy[00:00:30]

Words to make you cry[00:00:34]

Then one day the poet[00:00:41]

Suddenly did die[00:00:46]

But he left behind a closet[00:00:50]

Filled with verse and rhyme[00:00:55]

Through some strange transaction[00:01:00]

One was printed in the Times[00:01:04]

And everybody's searchin'[00:01:11]

For the king of underground[00:01:14]

Well they found him down in Florida[00:01:21]

With a tombstone for a crown[00:01:26]

Everybody knows a line[00:01:32]

From his book that cost four ninety nine[00:01:37]

I wonder if he knows he's doin'[00:01:42]

Quite this fine[00:01:47]

'Cause his books are all best sellers[00:01:51]

And his poems were turned to song[00:01:56]

Had his brother on a talk show[00:02:00]

Though they never got along[00:02:05]

And now he's called immortal[00:02:12]

Yes he's even taught in school[00:02:15]

They say he used his talents[00:02:22]

A most proficient tool[00:02:28]

But he left all of his royalties[00:02:32]

To Spooner his old hound[00:02:37]

Growin' old on steak and bacon[00:02:42]

In a doghouse ten feet 'round[00:02:46]

And everybody wonders[00:02:53]

Did he really lose his mind[00:02:56]

No he was just a poet who lived before his time[00:03:03]

He was just a poet who lived before his time[00:03:13]
