Hurdy Gurdy Fandango Lyrics

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
