Emulating Howard Hughes
Won't you leave me alone
Won't you leave me
Alone
Movies, Kleenex and the Telephone
Are all I need to feel at home

Women come when money beckons
Money buys my toys and presents
Planes, trains and the biggest stars
Won't all fit in my ten cars

Emulating Howard Hughes
This could be something I could do
So, will you all please gather 'round
Because I the best in this great big town

Please leave me alone
Can't you leave me alone
I scrub and wash but can't keep clean
With all the germs that close in on me

Rita, Greta, Kathryn and Liz
Their all products of my biz
I see them, want, and then their mine
My money snags them every time

Leave me alone
Leave me alone

They all laugh and scoff, but they will see
I'm the most they'll every be

Leave me alone
Leave me alone

Leave me

I'm

Alone.
