James Taylor - Mean Old Man Lyrics
On my ownHow could I have known?Imagine my surpriseJust a foolFrom a tree full of foolsWho cant believe his eyesImagine my surpriseI was a mean old manI was an ornery cussI was a dismal danI made an awful fussEver since my life beganMan, it was ever thusI was a nasty tyke who was hard to likeI had to misbehaveI did things in reverseRefused to wash or shaveI was horrid to my nurseI got back what I gaveWhich only made me worseI had to have my wayWhich was bleak and gray, oh dearLiving in hereOne hundred years of rainSuch a dragThis riches to ragsWith just myself to blameA dirty low-down shameSilly meSilly old meSomewhere outside my mindClever youWalking me throughWilling to lead the blindJust in the nick of timeWho gets a second chance?Who gets to have some fun?Who gets to learn to danceBefore his race is run?Who gets to shed his skin?Who comes up born again?Who was a mean old mantil you turned him into a golden retrieverPuppy dogWhos a good boy?
