It was a October morning
Near the carousel
I met a light young beauty
And we hooked up for a spell
We walked up by the green lawn
And my heart began to sing
Mad man on a victory lap

Went to a party
Everybody stood around
Thinkin' hey what she doing
With a burned out hippie clown
Young dudes were grinnin'
I can't say it didn't stink
Some punk says pops you better

Today we were strolling
By the reptile cage
I thinkin' that she needs somebody
Who's closer to her own age
Try not to worry
What tomorrow may bring
I'm just gonna do my best to
