I would have liked to have been
A guest on The Johnny Carson Show
With host Johnny Carson
and his guests, Tiny Tim, Cher, and the Dalai Lama
It is a dream
Which will never be
Tiny Tim passed away
November, nineteen ninety-six
I remember watching him
Marry Miss Vickie, live,
On the Tonight Show in sixty-nine
What a glorious night
Johnny Carson passed away
January, two thousand five
He hosted The Tonight Show for thirty years
Until his retirement in ninety-two
I’ve driven through his hometown
Norfolk, Nebraska
Many a time
Corn fields and rolling hills
Cher, our American Queen, has reigned supreme
Fifty years on the Billboard Charts
I would like to meet her
Hat in hand, and give a bow
The Dalai Lama
Tenzin Gyatso
Now in his eightieth year
Spreading his message of peace and love for all the world to hear
