I often have wandered in deep contemplation
It seems that the mind runs wild when you're all alone
The way that it could be
The way that it should be
Thing's I'd do differently if I could do them again
I've always loved spring time, the passing of
Dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
the first time I met him
he said he was a dwarfstar
cause he was small
and he was... famous
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
the second time I met him
he said I could never be a dwarfstar
because I was too tall
and I wasn't... famous
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
the thir.... the second time I mean
that I went to see him
he was not in a very good mood
he said "stop comin' around here!"
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
the last time
that I went to see him
he had passed away
I wanna tell ya
I wanna tell ya
I wanna tell ya
I wanna tell ya
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
I wanna tell ya 'bout my friend the dwarfstar
the end...
