Well there was an old hermit named dave
Who lived by himself in the woods in a cave
Ate from a turtle shell, slept on a bath skin had a seven foot beard growing out of his chin
He'd been dodging the draft for twenty-three years and he'd say:
That. Ain't never getting me, they ain't never gonna find me in here, err that doebeats i'm too smart for them, them dumbs a fools, fools all of them fools, society bar

And to complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,

climbing trees free as a song.

We were sittin' in the front row, holding hands
But then she dropped my hand and stared to stare,
At the handsome star and his curly hair.
And when he kissed the girl in the love scene
My baby's eyes were glued to the screen.

But we spent Saturday night at the movies,
