P.F. Sloan (feat. Jackson Browne) Lyrics

Na na na na na na na na na na na
Don't sing this song
Don't sing this song
I have been seeking P.F. Sloan
But no one knows where he has gone
No one ever heard the song
That good old boy sent winging
Now you might sigh
And you might moan
And you might sweat
About the skin and bone
You just smiled
And read the Rolling Stone
While he continued singing
Yeah, now listen to him singing
Na na na na na na na na na na na
Don't sing this song
No, people, don't you sing this song
Don't sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
Oh from now on
My old friend Trigger up and died
Now they've got him stuffed and dried
You know they've tanned his hide
And crucified
Got him starin' glassy eyed
Out through the portable door
Nixon's come and bound to stay
He's taken all my sins away
I heard it on the news today
But it set my ears to ringing
Can't you hear the people singing
Na na na na na na na na na na
Don't sing this song
No, people, don't you sing this song
Na na na na na na na na na na
Don't sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
Oh from now, from now on
Last time I saw P.F. Sloan
He was summer burned and winter blown
He turned the corner all alone
But he continued singing
Yeah now, listen to him singing
Na na na na na na na na na na
Don't sing this song
No, people, don't you sing this song
Na na na na na na na na na na
Don't sing this song
It belongs to P.F. Sloan
Oh from now, from now on

Jimmy Webb (born August 15, 1946 in Elk City, Oklahoma) is an idiosyncratic American popular music composer.

Jimmy Webb is responsible for writing numerous popular and Top 10 hits sung by a disparate group of artists, including Glen Campbell ("Galveston"); Art Garfunkel ("All I Know"); Donna Summer and many others.

Webb's father was a Baptist minister and a former Marine. His mother died when he was a teenager. His most popular songs were all composed when he was between 19 and 21 years of age.

"By the Time I Get to Phoenix" is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century.

He is noted for having written songs that were hits in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and is the only person to receive Grammy Awards in all three categories: music, lyrics and orchestration. Webb has also written the music for the animated film The Last Unicorn.

Webb is also a performer of his own music, although his solo output has never matched the commercial success of recordings of his work by other performers.

He was elected to the National Academy of Popular Music Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1986. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
