my friend parker is a painter a poet and a groove
he came around on wednesday
and made me think about you
now he seemed to be a daddy-o
and yes i am too
this is for you m.b.
you made me so happy

now lenny's got trousers
and bobby's got the wig
there's a lot of friendly people
i'm not so sure about this
now little prince has got the cream
i've got a new drum machine
hey you m.b.
you taught us all how to be groovy

all the children now are dancing to the music
and the music never stops
do they think that they know something we know not
we're gonna rock
just like marc
we're gonna rock
just like marc
we're gonna be groovy
