Lyrics of Tom and Jerry Story - Live Version by Simon & Garfunkel
verse
Paul and I go back to the sixth grade, where we grew up in Queens
They cast the two of us in the elementary school graduation play "Alice in Wonderland"
And I was the Cheshire Cat, and, it's been a lot of laughs ever since
With a few interruptions
This would be the 50th anniversary of this friendship that I deeply cherish
verse
We met when we were 11 years old in Alice in Wonderland
And I was the white rabbit
It's a leading role and Artie was the Cheshire cat, it was a supporting role
A very important, very important supporting role
We started to sing together when we were 13 years old
And we started to argue when we were 14 years old
So that makes this the 47th anniversary of our arguing
verse
And now we don't argue anymore
Now we say...
Now we say, "That's your opinion and I respect that"
We made our first record when we were 16 years old
Em, they called us Tom and Jerry
And our song was called, "Hey, school girl in the second row"
And it went like this
Writer(s): Paul Simon
