{ Verse 1 }
When he was young, he sang in the band
And the fans all looked the same
And the fans he had were younger than he
And they loved to scream his name
They'd leave at the end of the third show
Go home to talk of the fun
"Well isn't it nice," the parents would say
"Well isn't nice you've got someone?
Someone to idolize, he must look twice his size
I think it's great you're going through a phase
And I'm awfully glad it'll all be over
In a couple of days"
{ Verse 2 }
Well, the calendar changed and the pages fell off
But the singer remained the same
And he never grew tired of singing his song
And his fans still called his name
They'd leave at the end of the second show
Go home to talk of the fun
For most of the fans were married by then
So they had to be in by one
"I'm awfully glad," the husbands would say
"I'm awfully glad you got someone
Someone I realize, who used to look twice his size
I think it's great you still remember his name
And I'll bet if he knew you were there for the show
He'd be awfully glad you came"
 
{ Verse 3 }
"The time has come," the Walrus said
"To speak of other things
Like a fallen star who works in a bar
Where yesterday is king
The fans will stay for an hour or so
They still remember his fame
But the time has come," the Walrus said
"To call your fans by name"

Biography:

Harry Edward Nilsson III (June 15, 1941 – January 15, 1994), usually credited as Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s. His work is characterized by pioneering overdub experiments, returns to the Great American Songbook, and fusions of Caribbean sounds. A tenor with a three-and-a-half octave range, Nilsson was one of the few major pop-rock recording artists of his era to achieve significant commercial success without ever performing major public concerts or undertaking regular tours.
 
Born in Brooklyn, Nilsson fled to Los Angeles as a teenager and landed a job as a computer programmer at a bank. It was there that he cultivated an interest in musical composition and close-harmony singing, and was successful in having some of his songs recorded by various artists such as the Monkees, and later, Three Dog Night, who had a No. 5 hit with his song “One”. In 1967, he debuted on RCA Victor with the LP Pandemonium Shadow Show, followed with a variety of releases that include a collaboration with Randy Newman (Nilsson Sings Newman, 1970) and the original children’s story The Point! (1971). After a brief period of widely publicized, alcohol-fueled antics with John Lennon—the two collaborating in 1974 for the album Pussy Cats—Nilsson left RCA, and his record output subsequently diminished. In response to Lennon’s 1980 death by shooting, he took a hiatus from the music industry to campaign for gun control. For the rest of his life, he recorded only on sporadic occasions. In 1994, Nilsson died of a heart attack while in the midst of recording new material for a since-unreleased comeback album.
