Lyrics
They call me Lenny
Identification as "Lenny," a personal or possibly fictional name.
I could spell that but hey what for
Questioning the purpose of spelling the name.
I met the strangest man singing show tunes right out my door
Encounter with an eccentric man singing show tunes near the narrator's home.
He's like a modern Costanza with that stature and those crooked eyes
Comparing the man to a modern-day Costanza, noting physical attributes.
Oh my my my
Expressing surprise or emphasis.
Just a backhanded contrarian with a penchant for disparagingly off remarks
Describing the man as a contrarian with a tendency for critical and unconventional remarks.
My name's the breeze so please won't you take a shot at me
Introducing the narrator as "the breeze" and inviting criticism.
I got some news for you but it ain't gonna be what you wanna hear
Forewarning about upcoming news that may be unwelcome.
Oh my oh my
Reiteration of surprise or emphasis.
Is that a pie in the sky?
Rhetorical question about an ambitious goal, possibly unattainable.
Looking big and right
Describing something as impressive or significant.
Moving dynamite
Highlighting movement with energy and impact.
I'm gonna give it to you
Expressing intent to share something, withholding specifics.
But I ain't gonna tell you what to think
Refusing to dictate thoughts, encouraging individual interpretation.
I'm on my knees please oh please
Appealing for mercy or assistance while in a vulnerable position.
Don't leave me here take me with you
Expressing a desire not to be left alone, seeking companionship.
I'll meet you in that breezy field by the noisy creek where the willow weeps
Suggesting a meeting place in nature, using vivid imagery.
Let's fly into the countryside, rain or shine, day or night
Proposing an adventurous journey regardless of weather or time.
Oh my my my
Reiteration of surprise or emphasis.
Just call me by my name and I'll call you a friend of mine
Proposing a friendly relationship based on mutual acknowledgment.
Let's fly into the countryside, rain or shine, day or night
Reiteration of the adventurous countryside journey idea.
Let's fly into the countryside, rain or shine, day or night
Repetition of the suggestion for a countryside journey, emphasizing spontaneity.
Let's fly into the countryside, rain or shine, day or night
Continued emphasis on the idea of a countryside journey.
Oh my my my
Final expression of surprise or emphasis.
Let's fly into the countryside, rain or shine, day or night
Repetition of the countryside journey idea, emphasizing its viability day or night.
