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".
