Captain Lou (feat. Aesop Rock)

When Michael died, people all over the world did the moon walk and the thriller
 When Patrick died, people all over the world tried to do that lift
 When Farrah died, people all over the world feathered their hair and put on hot pants
 When John Hughes died, people all over the world said Bueller, Bueller
 Well today we lost another hero
 Today we lost another friend
 Today we lost the world's greatest manager
 Today we lost the captain, yeah
 Today we lost the captain
 I hope a million elbows drop and a million heads get locked
 And a million beards get banded and a million bodies slammed
 A million piles driven and a million lives start living because you never, ever know when it will be your time to go
 No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go
 He was often imitated but you cannot duplicate the one who thought you how to win, the one who taught you how to have fun
 Really, really changed me as a kid back in the 80's
 The first time I saw him he seemed colorful and crazy
 In my baggy jams and my different color sneaks they could do what I could do and even if I got teased I know I'm not the only kid my age who feels they have to owe you
 You set a generation of freaks free with your persona
 With your rubber banded face and your rubber banded beard
 You gave a lot of kids permission to let out their inner weird
 So here's to you
 Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah
 Captain Lou, Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah
 Captain Lou, Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah
 Captain Lou, Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah
 Captain Lou, Captain Lou yeah, I love you yeah
 I hope a million elbows drop and a million heads get locked
 And a million beards get banded and a million bodies slammed
 A million piles driven and a million lives start living because you never, ever know when it will be your time to go
 No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go
 No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go
 No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go
 No you never, ever know when it will be your time to go
