Dirty Old Man

Harry Chapin

[Spoken]
In the sixties I wrote about four hundred songs before anybody paid any attention. And they, they fit into two categories. There were my, my protest songs. Which, I was known as Gapin' Chapin in those days. 

And uh, in my, my protest songs had the implication behind them
If only the world was as truly wonderful as I am, there'd be no problems. And somehow these didn't go over very well. 

And then I had my cool, macho stud ballads. These were songs rather desparately intended to get someone of the opposite sex
Horizontal for an extended period of time with me. 

And uh, I will demonstrate why you never heard of me in the sixties. Alright, this is one verse of one song of that, the cool, macho stud period, okay. 

[Verse 1]
I've had pretty women in my day
Yeah, those long haired beauties simply ran my way
I treat 'em rotten, they just love me more
And when they gave me trouble I just showed them the door
I'm a dirty old man and I don't give a damn

[Spoken]
Where were you guys during the sixties when I needed you?
