The Morley Man

(to Sammy Davis Jr.'s The Candy Man)

Who’s a very sly guy
Smoking up a room
Hides a lot of secrets and an alien or two
The Morley Man
Oh, the Morley Man can
The Morley Man can cause he’s sneaky and a thug
And has his own world view

Who’s the one with no soul
Dupes the F-B-I
See him havin’ fun
When takin’ Mulder for a ride
The Morley Man
The Morley Man can
The Morley Man can cause he’s gotta grander goal to save the world, he’s shrewd

The Morley Man breaks any law he hates,
He’s defiant and malicious
If you snitch about the old man’s wishes,
You’ll be swimmin’ with the fishes

Oh, who could write a novel
Filled with his routines
Documents so out there, the rejections come in reams
The Morley Man
The Morley Man can
The Morley Man can cause he writes about his love to make the world askew

The Morley Man fakes, ev-ee-dence he makes
Falsifying is his mission
Subterfuge is his volition
Writers bring him in for tension

Dallas and the Rat Boy
Things you can’t conceive
Fantasy on steroids that you never could believe
The Morley Man
The Morley Man can
The Morley Man can cause we like the super villain who’s a world class hood
