And he was there at every function Party, Birthday, Bar Mitzvah, barbecue In fact if he wasn't there It just wasn't considered a do. When asked why he was famous He’d give an enigmatic smile And the question was forgotten In a very little while. And then the police arrested him On suspicion of a long past crime And some said they’d had Their suspicions all the time. And then the police released him With not stain on his name People said no smoke Without fire just the same.

For weeks it was the topic Of our quiet village life Until a certain worthy was found In bed with the wrong wife He'd been famous for being famous Nobody knew what he’d dome But he was famous for being famous And that was good enough some.
