Son of a bitch 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
