[00:10.84] I been Norman Mailer'd, Maxwell Taylor'd.
[00:15.94] I been John O'Hara'd, McNamara'd.
[00:21.21] I been Rolling Stoned and Beatled till I'm blind.
[00:26.40] I been Ayn Rand'd, nearly branded
[00:29.42] Communist, 'cause I'm left-handed.
[00:32.08] That's the hand I use, well, never mind!
[00:36.88] I been Phil Spector'd, resurrected.
[00:42.19] I been Lou Adler'd, Barry Sadler'd.
[00:47.44] Well, I paid all the dues I want to pay.
[00:52.70] And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce,
[00:55.67] And all my wealth won't buy me health,
[00:58.87] So I smoke a pint of tea a day.
[01:06.89] I knew a man, his brain was so small,
[01:10.59] He couldn't think of nothing at all.
[01:13.15] He's not the same as you and me.
[01:15.72] He doesn't dig poetry.
[01:17.99] He's so unhip
[01:19.18] When you say "Dylan",
[01:21.26] He thinks you're talking about Dylan Thomas
[01:24.21] Whoever he was.
[01:26.11] The man ain't got no culture,
[01:29.57] But it's all right, ma,
[01:31.19] Everybody must get stoned.
[01:37.74] I been Mick Jagger'd, been silver daggered.
[01:43.59] Andy Warhol, won't you please come home?
[01:48.25] I been mothered, fathered, aunt and uncled,
[01:51.25] Been Roy Halee'd and Art Garfunkel'd.
[01:54.06] I just discovered somebody's tapped my phone
