Run That Body Down

Words & music by Paul Simon
Went to my doctor yesterday
A-a-a-a-ah, she said I seem to be O.K.
A-a-a-a-ah, She said
";Paul, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been do-o-in'
Who, now who you foolin?";
I came back home and I went to bed
Ah, I was resting my head
My wife came in and she said
";What's wrong, sweet boy, what's wrong?";
Ah, I told her what's wrong
I said ";Peg, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been do-o-in'
Who-o, now, who you foolin?";
Kid, you better look around
How long you think that you can
Run that body down?
How many nights you think that you can
Do what you been do-o-in'
Who-o, now, who you foolin?";
Who-o, now, who you foolin?";
