Talk:Dirty Old Man

Here Are The Lyrics

Spoken:

Well, an old man stood on the corner,
Watching young folks come his way;
And their smiling, youthful faces
Prompted that old man to say;
"How ya' doin' kids? You're lookin' good,
Sure is a mighty fine day."
But you know they just stared at that old man 
Looked him up and down - turn and walked away.
Well, he shrugged his shoulders
And ran his fingers through his hair so grey;
And as those kids walked down the street,
Well they heard that old man say:

I've been around for eight summers
Some were winners and some were bummers,
I've loved them all - loved them all.
Once I was young and full of life like you 
I had a million dreams and some came true,
You can't win them all.  You can't win them all

Chorus:
Now I'm old and tired, bent and busted.
Grey and wrinkled I can't be trusted,
Just a dirty old man- That’s all I am 

When I look back on my younger years
I shared your hopes, I shared your fears,
Yeah, I made that scene - I made that scene.
My parents they never understood
And I never thought that they ever would
You know what I mean.

Chorus

Well I've done some livin' in this life of mine,
I laughed and I loved in the summertime
I remember it well.
There were lips to kiss and hands to hold
And I never thought that I'd get very old,
But here I am.

Chorus

But you just wait fifty years or so
You’ll be standing on the corner with no place to go
Just looking around - Just looking around.
And if some young folks pass you by
Don't say hello, don't even wave "hi"
They'll just put you down - just put you down.

Last chorus (sing twice)
Cause you'll be old, tired, bent and busted,
Grey and wrinkled  and can't be trusted,
Just a dirty old man. That’s all I am.

SPOKEN:

Times coming, Lord,
I’m just an old man,  That’s all I am
Just a dirty old man. 2603:7080:A039:3933:64C4:3150:388C:5439 (talk) 04:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
