Renaissance Man Lyrics & Music by George Douglas Lee I did my show at a fancy party, it was the place to be You know they couldn’t get enough of me They thought that I was famous, they were honored, they were proud! Well I’m no celebrity, I’m just tall and loud… But didn’t you used to be…?” one asked, “No, I never was.” It’ ain’t from lack of tryin’, nobody heard my buzz “So much talent, what a shame”, she said, it’s just appalling! Fame and fortune passed my by -- I missed my calling They tell me I’m a renaissance man They say that I’m a pearl among the swine Don’t you know, that I’m my biggest fan I could’ve been, I should’ve been, but I’m proud of what I am Could I get a hand? I’ll be damned, I’m a renaissance man There’s so much I could’ve done, but I chose fun Now I’m a thumbtack, and life is the thumb I was in the right place at the wrong time I’ve been in the wrong place for a long time Don’t tell mama I’m a busboy, still waiting for a lucky break I’m still in the race, but I’m stuck in second place They tell me I’m a renaissance man They say that I’m a pearl among the swine Don’t you know, that I’m my biggest fan I could’ve been, I should’ve been, take me as I am Could I get a hand? I’ll be damned, I’m a renaissance man BREAK So I do magic for the children, I’m a curiosity Entertainer at your party for a reasonable fee I’ll tell some jokes, make you laugh, play a song on my guitar I’ll always be a star in my backyard… They tell me I’m a renaissance man They say that I’m a pearl among the swine Don’t you know, that I’m my biggest fan I could’ve been, I should’ve been, but I’m proud of what I am Could I get a hand? I’ll be damned, I’m a renaissance man Repeat Chorus
