The Alan Parsons Project - Call Up lyrics

No one ever lived a thousand years Not like things we do or say Some of those who really changed this world We would welcome back today They could really light the way So call up Otis Call up Marvin Call for Buddy Bring them on Call for Ludwig And for Johann We need Lennon We mean John Words live longer than a thousand years Listen hard to what they say Single voices that would change this world We would welcome back today They would really light the way So call up Jimi Let's have Stevie Look for Miles To take the floor Call for Billie Yell for Ella Call up Elvis We'll need more So call up Einstein Bring back Darwin Call for Newton And Luther King We need Gandhi Call Da Vinci Call for Jesus And ask Him in If we live another thousand years Who could help along the way? Some of those who came and changed this world We would welcome back today They would really light the way So call up Garbo Let's have Mansfield Maybe Monroe No, she's for sure Call Sinatra Come on Crosby Is that Bogie At the door? Bring on Bergman How about Dietrich? Let's have James Dean Leave the car Call Pica**o We need Monet Let's have Rembrandt And Renoir Call up Groucho Come on Gable Bring on Hitchco*k And let's get wilde Come on Gershwin Let's call Porter Maybe Duke Could show some style Call up Shakespeare Bring on Byron We need Shelley And maybe Keats Come on Wordsworth Bring on Browning Robert Burns
