No one ever lived a thousand years   Not like things we do or say   Some of those who really changed this world   We would welcome back today   They could really light the way      So call up Otis   Call up Marvin   Call for Buddy, bring them on   Call for Ludwig   And for Johann   We need Lennon--We mean John.      Words live longer than a thousand years   Listen hard to what they say   Single voices that would change this world   We would welcome back today   They would really light the way      So call up Jimi   Let's have Stevie   Look for Miles to take the floor   Call for Billie   Yell for Ella   Call up Elvis, we'll need more      Call up Einstein   Bring back Darwin   Call for Newton, and Luther King   We need Ghandi   Call DaVinci   Call for Jesus, and ask him in      If we live another thousand years   Who could help along the way?   Some of those who came and changed this world   We would welcome back today   They would really light the way      So call up Garbo   Let's have Mansfield   Maybe Monroe, no, she's for sure   Call Sinatra   Come on Crosby   Is that Bogie at the door?      Bring on Bergman   How about Dietrich   Let's have James Dean leave the car   Call Picasso   We need Monet   Let's have Rembrandt and Renoir      Call up Groucho   Come on Gable   Bring on Hitchcock and let's get Wilde   Come on Gershwin   Let's call Porter   Maybe Duke could show some style      Call up Shakespeare   Bring on Byron   We need Shelley, and maybe Keats   Come on Wordsworth   Bring on Browning   Robert Burns, and H.G. Wells
