Harry Chapin - Dirty Old Man lyrics
[Harry Chapin - Dirty Old Man lyrics]
In the sixties I wrote about four hundred
Songs before anybody paid any attention and
They they fit into two categories there
Were my, my protest songs which
I was known as Gapin' Chapin in those days
And uh, in my, my protest songs had the
Implication behind them
If only the world was as
Truly wonderful as I am
There'd be no problems and somehow these
Didn't go over very well
And then I had my cool
Macho stud ballads these were
Songs rather desparately intended
To get someone of the opposite sex
Horizontal for an extended period
Of time with me
And uh, I will demonstrate why you never
Heard of me in the sixties alright
This is one verse of one song of
That, the cool, macho stud period, okay
I've had pretty women in my day
Yeah, those long haired beauties
Simply ran my way
I treat 'em rotten, they just love me more
And when they gave me trouble I
Just showed them the door
I'm a dirty old man and I don't give a damn
Where were you guys during the
Sixties when I needed you?
Songs before anybody paid any attention and
They they fit into two categories there
Were my, my protest songs which
I was known as Gapin' Chapin in those days
And uh, in my, my protest songs had the
Implication behind them
If only the world was as
Truly wonderful as I am
There'd be no problems and somehow these
Didn't go over very well
And then I had my cool
Macho stud ballads these were
Songs rather desparately intended
To get someone of the opposite sex
Horizontal for an extended period
Of time with me
And uh, I will demonstrate why you never
Heard of me in the sixties alright
This is one verse of one song of
That, the cool, macho stud period, okay
I've had pretty women in my day
Yeah, those long haired beauties
Simply ran my way
I treat 'em rotten, they just love me more
And when they gave me trouble I
Just showed them the door
