School Days

School Days - Loudon Wainwright III

In Delaware when I was younger

I would live the life obscene

In the Spring I had great hunger

I was Brando I was Dean

Blaspheming booted blue jeaned baby boy

Oh how I made them turn their heads

The townie brownie girls they jumped for joy

And begged me bless them in their beds

In Delaware when I was younger

I would now upon the lake

In the Spring I had great hunger

I was Keats I was Blake

My pimple pencil pains I＇d bring

To frogs who sat entranced

My driftdream ditties I would sing

The water strider danced

In Delaware when I was younger

They thought St Andrews had sufficed

But in the Spring I had great hunger

I was Buddha I was Christ

You wicked wise men where you wonder

You Pharisees one day will pay

See my lightning hear my thunder

I am truth I know the way

In Delaware when I was younger
