1970
--------------------------
If I could read their minds
I kind of think I`d see
a lot of little questions there concerning me
For instance . . .
Has he aged, or did he lose weight?
I think I read somewhere that he`s 38!
He hasn`t lost his hair, he could stand a little dye!
He looks relaxed up there but what`s he like inside?
How does old Perra-la unwind?
I could almost read their minds!
From my publicity
I`ll bet you`d like to know,
if I`ll stay awake thru the entire show?
You wonder what`s beneath that Florida tan
deep down inside is he . . .
a dirty old man?
What does it really take to make him lose his cool?
Does he go anywhere without that tired stool?
Does he notice girl`s behinds?
I can almost read your minds!
It doesn`t take a guy equipped with ESP
to see what`s cookin` with your curiosity!
Is "Mister Nice Guy" just a press agent`s pitch?
his dearest friends say he`s a . . .
You never thought you`d see me in Las Vegas `live`
I haven`t played a "club" since 1885!
It`s spelled out in dollar signs ( you better believe it! )
I can almost read your minds!

Now this may sound cliché, but clichés are often true
I`m glad you let me come an` sing my songs to you
and I`m happy that I find
that I could almost read your minds!
