Mr. Wilson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I believe you Mr. Wilson
I believe you anyway
And I'm always thinking of you
When I hear your music play
[Chorus]
And you know it's true
That Wales is not like California in any way
And when I listen to your music
You're still thousands of miles away
[Verse 2]
Take your mixes not your mixture
Add some music to our day
Don't believe the things they tell you
Don't let them get in your way
[Chorus]
And you know it's true
That Wales is not like California in any way
And when I hear your music
You're still thousands of miles away
[Bridge]
Whisper, whisper
Got a monkey on my back
Whisper, whisper
Tell your tale, scratch my back
Annette Funicello
Though I never met you once
I know your movies
In the sea and sentiment
[Chorus]
And you know it's true
That Wales is not like California in any way
And everytime I hear your music
You're still thousands of miles away
[Outro]
California wine tastes fine
California wine tastes fine
California wine tastes fine
California wine tastes fine
California wine tastes fine
California wine tastes fine
