Ray Stevens



Ray Stevens is the guy who wrote "Everything Is Beautiful"

Of course, he also did "Ahab the Arab" back in the 60's.  It turns out that most of his stuff is humorous.  Most of it is quite funny.  You have to pay attention to the lyrics.  He's a very clever lyricist.  I guess my favorite among these is "I Am My Own Grandpa"
