I came to this world like everyone My mother had me and I was born I went to school like all the rest Tried real hard and did my best I flunked out But that's not really where I went wrong It was when I started singin' folk songs I had Phil on the brain, Woody in my skin I changed my name to Bobby Dylan I was a real folksinger Humdinger But I knew if I were gonna be like them I had to meet the people and see the land So I packed up all the songs I know Said goodbye and was down the road I landed in Oglethorpe That's a small town down in Georgia Mighty fine place Hoo hoo! Well, I fell in love and I fell right out SongtexteTexas way or thereabouts And I played in front of all sorts of crowds And someone always seems to shout "You know any Lynyrd Skynyrd?" If I got a dime every time I heard Someone out there shoutin' "Free Bird" I'd be a rich man Probably richer if I knew it So I headed up west to the coast And through them mountains I almost froze But soon I saw Seattle's light It rained too much I left that night You know, there's a lot of things you can do in Seattle I can't think of 'em right now Whoo! Yeah, I rambled up and I rambled down And I landed in New York Town Where they kicked me out of there with mean words 'n' stuff Said I didn't come early enough Should've been about, here about thirty years ago All that folk stuff's come and gone What are you tryin' to be? Bob Dylan? Yeah, I'm tellin' you, bein' a folksinger today Is like bein' a dinosaur with somethin' to say Oh m'god! Burl Ives, get outta the way I'm a real folksinger Humdinger Woo hoo hoo!
