A Long, Long Time Ago
In an ISLAND - Far Away
COLOMBO was - under an ATTACK ¹
And I thought ME and OBAMA ²
Could talk the LTTE into
MAYBE - cutting them - a little slack
But their RESPONSE, it didn't thrill us
They loaded MORTAR BOMBS - and tried to HIT us ³
WE ESCAPED from that blast
Then met M R and Hansa ⁴
We took a CHOPPER from the scene ⁵
And we went to KANDY - to see Teeth ⁶
We all wound up in a PERAHERA ⁷
That's where, we found, this BOY-...
-Oh-
My, My, This Here - LEHAN guy
May be TRUMP someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI goodbye
Sayin', "SOON I'm Gonna Be A MASON":
"Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".
Did You Know This THIRD-WORLD THUG
Isn't even COOL enough to snort? ⁸
"But he can SPEAK ENGLISH", they say
Ah, do you see HIM hit'n on "Casi"? ⁹
Though he's TOO PEAKY- and she's an AKKI
Yeah, he's probably gonna 'HIRE' her someday
Well, I Know he built a WIX website ¹⁰
And I've heard how QUICK his mouth can go
And we were BROKE, it's true
So we made a WAGER or two ¹¹
He was a good-for-nothin' lyin' THIEF
And The Minute THILANGA signed off that deal
Well, I knew who would STEAL proceeds ¹²
Oh Yes!, it was - our BOY!
WE Started Singin'
My, my, this here LEHAN guy
May be HEFNER someday later, now he's just a jerk off
And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI* goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm Gonna Be A MASON":
"Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".
Now We FINALLY Got To "Pricing Talks"
The Telco Chairman we KNEW would want
To see how GOOD - the boy could be
So We Took him there - and we told the TALE -
How his IMAGINATION was off the scale
And he might - fulfill 'that PROPHECY' ¹⁴
Oh, The PRESIDENT was impressed, of course-
Could he bring balance to the FORCE?
They interviewed the KID
Oh, BRIBERY they forbid! ¹⁵
Because CHANNA sensed in him much fear- ¹⁶
And BHANTE said "Now LISTEN here ¹⁷
Just STICK it in your pointy ear
I still will TEACH this boy"
HE Was Singin'
My, My, This Here LEHAN guy-
May be ZUCKERBERG later, now he's just a startup
And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm Gonna Be A MASON":
"Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".
We Caught A Ride Back HOME To DC-
'Cause JAGATH Sumathipala wanted to
I FRANKLY would've liked to STAY
We All Fought in that CIVIL WAR -
And it wasn't LONG AT ALL before
Little HOTSHOT - signed his deal and - saved the day!
And In The END, some haters cried-
Some FIRMS closed up and some CEOs fired
WARNAKULASURIYA was croakin' ¹⁸
-The, bitch, was, ritually, stoned- ¹⁹
And The MASON I admire most
Met up with SHAVENDRA - and now he's TOAST ²⁰
Well, I'm still HERE - and he's a GHOST
I GUESS, I'll TRAIN, this BOY...
And I Was SINGIN'
My, My, this here LEHAN guy
May be LEE KUAN YEW later, now he's just a small guy
And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm Gonna Be A MASON":
"Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".
We Were SINGIN'-
My, my, this here LEHAN guy
May finish UPALI's dream, now he's just DREAMIN'
And he left his HOME - and kissed his AMMI goodbye
Sayin', "Soon I'm Gonna Be A Mason".
