|
There is this older guy |
|
That comes around from time to time |
|
We're sure that he fought in the war |
|
The war in Vietnam |
|
Most of what he tells us |
|
No one's verified |
|
He swears that he was there |
|
The day that Brendan Behan died |
|
He also claims he trained |
|
A kid named Cassius Clay |
|
And cost Goldwater the election |
|
On election day |
|
If he was still with us today |
|
Then he would introduce |
|
Us to his closest friend |
|
The one and only Lenny Bruce |
|
The truth is what he's been through |
|
And what he's had to do |
|
What he's seen, and what he's done |
|
All things considered |
|
What he's telling us |
|
Isn't hurting anyone |
|
We knew it's true |
|
He's short a few |
|
Check out the deck, it's light |
|
Said he wrote the entire soundtrack |
|
For A Hard Day's Night |
|
On Peyton Place |
|
Played second base |
|
He says but he regrets |
|
The stadium was Shea |
|
The team the New York Mets |
|
The truth is what he's been through |
|
And what he's had to do |
|
What he's seen, and what he's done |
|
All things considered |
|
What he's telling us |
|
Isn't hurting anyone |
|
All things considered |
|
He's not bitter |
|
He's not mean |
|
No, he's not done |
|
All things considered |
|
What he's telling us |
|
Isn't hurting anyone |
|
There is this older guy |

All things considered |

What he's telling us |
|
Isn't hurting anyone |
|
Every now and then |
|
We hear our song |
