Life Accordion to Weird Al Yankovic

by Lucky Doug Fergus

/

about

Experimental song I wrote about one of my favorite entertainers, Weird Al Yankovic. At this time, this song is not distributed or available anywhere but here on Bandcamp.

lyrics

He came up through the ranks straight outta Lynwood
Tried to be an architect but that was no good
He’d rather make people laugh than draw house plans
Learned to play the squeeze box and started a band

His hair was crazy curly and his glasses really thick
He got himself a manager that did the trick
Soon he had a record out and vids on MTV
He made a bunch of bank singing songs that were funny


Chorus:
What I really want to know really, really want to know

Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool.
What I really want to know really, really want to know
Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool
Does Mr. Yankovic have an accordion shaped pool

He owns shopping centers with parking for days
Apartment complexes in the LA haze
Knows way more than just three chords
Sloopy showed him how to work a board

His house is so big he can’t get wi-fi in the kitchen
He’s adored by millions and they all say he’s bitchin’
As a kid they laughed at his uniqueness
They said being weird was his weakness

But Barry Hansen recognized him for his gift
He put him on the air right away really swift(ly)


Chorus:
What I really want to know really, really want to know

Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool.
What I really want to know really, really want to know
Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool
Does Mr. Yankovic have an accordion shaped pool

Now he rides around with rappers in the cars that go boom
The parties do not start until he enters the room

Everybody in the business loves his music contribution
If you don’t think he’s so great
Then there could be a retribution

Why not love the artist with the goal to make you happy
Smiling laughing feeling good is opposite of crappy

He works hard for his money; how he spends it is his choice
He has a psychedelically painted Rolls Royce
Do you think he spent a lot on lessons for his voice?

He doesn’t want to be out there shriekin’
Then his doctor would have to be tweakin’
Those cords have earned him several mill
He’s so healthy he’s never popped a pill

He’s never had a drink
A cig he’s never smoked
He never stuck a needle
And he never took a toke

Why would he do all that- Fool-!
He’s badder than bad
You know it you know it
He’s the only life this empty room has ever had

You know it you know it

His cabinets are made from Jacaranda
He’s friends with that Hamilton guy Miranda
Likes to take naps out on his veranda
And winter at his home way out in Uganda

The public made him a household name
Nerdy and goofy are no longer lame
He won’t eat anything with aspartame
He belongs in the rock and roll hall of fame

Chorus:
What I really want to know really, really want to know

Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool.
What I really want to know really, really want to know
Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool
Does Mr. Yankovic have an accordion shaped pool

What I really want to know really, really want to know

Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool.
What I really want to know really, really want to know
Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool
Does Mr. Yankovic have an accordion shaped pool

He never says don’t when he should say doesn’t.
He never says won’t when he should say wasn’t
A whole generation was raised on his humor.
His favorite album is Fleetwood Mac‘s Tusk!

He doesn’t rap about treating garden tools badly
Or popping caps in a homie’s rump
He has every toy ever made by Milton Bradley
He’s never ever had a creative slump

Chorus:
What I really want to know really, really want to know

Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool
What I really want to know really, really want to know
Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool
Does Mr. Yankovic have an accordion shaped pool

What I really want to know really, really want to know

Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool.
What I really want to know really, really want to know
Does Alfred have an accordion shaped pool
Does Mr. Yankovic have an accordion shaped pool

Even though his schedule is full to the max
He teaches yoga on the side
He’s the undisputed master of syntax
He practices tai chi with his bride
