| He calls his child Jesus |
| 'Cause he likes the name |
| And he sends him to the finest school in town |
| Levon, Levon likes his money |
| He makes a lot they say |
| Spends his days counting |
| In the garage by the motorway |
| He was born a pauper to a pawn on aChristmas Day |
| When the New York Times said God is dead |
| And the war’s begun |
| Alvin Tostig has a son today |
| And he shall be Levon |
| And he shall be a good man |
| And he shall be Levon |
| In tradition with the family plan |
| And he shall be Levon |
| And he shall be a good man |
| And he shall be Levon |
| Levon sells cartoon balloons in town |
| His family business thrives |
| Jesus blows up balloons all day |
| Sits on the porch swing watching them fly |
| And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus |
| Leaving Levon far behind |
| Take a balloon and go sailing |
| While Levon, Levon slowly dies |
| He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day |
| When the New York Times said God is dead |
| And the war’s begun |
| Alvin Tostig has a son today |
| And he shall be Levon |
| And he shall be a good man |
| And he shall be Levon |
| In tradition with the family plan |
| And he shall be Levon |
| And he shall be a good man |
| And he shall be Levon |
| And he shall be Levon |
| And he shall be a good man |
| And he shall be Levon |
| In tradition with the family plan |
| And he shall be Levon |
| And he shall be a good man |
| And he shall be Levon |
| And he shall be Levon |
