lyrics

somethin about matty van
struck a chord with the everyman
sideburns, small frame
he had a lot of nicknames
that don’t prove a thing

The little magician
a mistletoe politician
old kinderhook
I guess he was OK
OK, he had a lot of nicknames
but that don’t prove a thing

there's something about matty van
a ginger with a balding head
it was a different time,
the past is a different place
he had a lot of nicknames
that don’t prove a thing

They call him King Matty Van
The American Tallyrand
the red fox, the enchanter
i could go on all day
but that don't prove a thing
he had a lot of nicknames
that don’t prove a thing
