JumboXL Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Paul Simons' 50 ways to leave your lover has some names in the text. I once read somewhere that the song was written to explain to his son what exactly "rhyme" is. "Just slip out the back, Jack Make a new plan, Stan You dont need to be coy, Roy Just get yourself free Hop on the bus, Gus You dont need to discuss much Just drop off the key, Lee And get yourself free" Edited October 26, 2009 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
