Son of a b**h he took me like he did before I had a little cash but I don't got no more I'm talking bout the man I met the other day I was just walking along the street liked the things he say He said now son I can remember back *cold o.r*. Back in the grand old days when they had real good stuff I held a holdy Hurdy Gurdy for a nickel or dime We made the people dance and a real good time And oh Oh you kids today Don't appreciate the thing that you don't have And when he said this I appreciated him and I began to laugh And if he had the chance he'd like to make you dance And you would be a victim time of this circumstance He liked hurdy gurdy just like you never heard He went on to tell an interesting little tale and why It was so interesting that I could just not go He told me how played for kings and how he cried And back in '68 its just his monkey died He asked me if I had a dollar then I finally replied I knew I had the cash he'd gone on all night * *Every now and again And in such great detail he knew where and when And he said Ohhh You kids today Don't know what's up and I'm too tired to tell you why And of course I just laughed it off but secretly I wished that he would try Because if he had the chance he'd like to make you dance And you would be a victim time of this circumstance He liked hurdy gurdy just like you never heard Well hours combined it was getting light And the hurdy gurdy man and me were getting tight I thought like I was making a brilliant friend for life Like he would take me to his house and I'd be meeting his w ife Now I was left a fool and all my money was gone He got up to go like he was moving on I was stalling all I said was hey where have you go And in a dark brown voice he said perhaps I'll let you know Yea you kids today Let this be a lesson to you boy Oh Oh my bongos and my bangy drums My life and not some goddamn toy Yeaaa you kids today Let it be a lesson to you all Ohhh do not find misery to avoid Because everybody falls Because if he had the chance he'd like to make you dance And you would be a victim time of this circumstance He liked hurdy gurdy just like you never heard
