I want to look at the lyrics to "Levon"

Search: Levon

Why: Elton John and David Furnish are now fathers to a baby boy they've named Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. (Baby was born to a surrogate mother in California on Christmas Day.)

The first time I ever heard "Levon" was when Taylor Hicks sang it on American Idol, so I don't know it so well. It's from 1971 and named after Levon Helm, the drummer for The Band.

Answer: They go like this:

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies

Well, how about that. Christmas Day.

The More You Know: More Lydia Deetz:

It is not known who is the father, but Natalie Gamble, a specialist in fertility law at Gamble and Ghevaert LLP, said that one or both men will have provided sperm.

She said that in all Californian cases of which she was aware, prospective parents must provide the sperm, and the egg would come not from the surrogate but a second woman.

They tried to adopt a Ukranian baby last year, but it didn't work out.
