Where’s Wally? Where's Waldo? (Poem into Music) Lyrics by Simon Camilleri

[Verse1]
Amidst the crowd there is a man
Unique among the rest
To seek and find his funny face
Was always quite a test
You might search among the palm trees
In their leaves he might be hidden
Or behind a stack of papers
Of the poems he has written
[Chorus]
Amidst the crowd there is a man
Unique among the rest
To seek and find his funny face
Was always quite a test.
[Verse2]
Take a peek around the guitars
You can listen for his sound
For behind a tune and heartfelt words
He often can be found
You could look among the larrikins
He’s the best amongst those blokes
With his lightning wit and cheeky grin
And even cheekier jokes
[Chorus]
Amidst the crowd there is a man
Unique among the rest
To seek and find his funny face
Was always quite a test.
[Verse3]
Though if you a see a glorious sunrise
You won’t his find his face within
Cos he’ll be behind the cameraÂ
Capturing that which captures him
And you might not find him there at all
If he received an invitation
He would show he cared by being there
For a special occasion
[Chorus]
Amidst the crowd there is a man
Unique among the rest
To seek and find his funny face
Was always quite a test.
[Verse4]
But now my eyes are scanning
For his face amongst the crowd
Past palms and poems and old guitars
He now can not be found
Where’s Wally? He is missing
So I’ll take one final look
And entrust him to the Author
Of this sadly now-closed book
[Chorus]
Amidst the crowd there is a man
Unique among the rest
To seek and find his funny face
Was always quite a test.
Amidst the crowd there is a man
Unique among the rest
To seek and find his funny face
Was always quite a test.
