Hey, where did we go? Days when the rains came Down in the hollow Playin’ a new game Laughin’ and a-runnin’, hey, hey Skippin’ and a-jumpin’ In the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts a-thumping and you My brown-eyed girl And you, my brown-eyed girl
And whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow? Going down the old mine with a Transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing Hiding ‘hind a rainbow’s wall Slipping and sliding All along the waterfall with you My brown-eyed girl You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing? Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da Just like that Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da, la-tee-da
So hard to find my way Now that I’m all on my own I saw you just the other day My, how you have grown Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometimes I’m overcome thinking ’bout it Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown-eyed girl You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing? Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin’ high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
“We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I
Proud ’neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
“Rip down all hate,” I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
Girls’ faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
A self-ordained professor’s tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
“Equality,” I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
In a soldier’s stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I’d become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
Before this dance is through, I think I’ll love you, too, I’m so happy when you dance with me.

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I’m not sleepy and there ain’t no place I’m goin’ to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning, I’ll come followin’ you
Take me for a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship All my senses have been stripped And my hands can’t feel to grip And my toes too numb to step Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin’
I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade Unto my own parade Cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me I’m not sleepy and there ain’t no place I’m goin’ to Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come followin’ you
Lady Madonna, children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet Who finds the money when you pay the rent? Did you think that money was heaven sent?
Friday night arrives without a suitcase Sunday morning creeping like a nun Monday’s child has learned to tie his bootlace See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
See how they run
Lady Madonna lying on the bed Listen to the music playing in your head (head)
Tuesday afternoon is never ending Wednesday morning papers didn’t come Thursday night, your stockings needed mending See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
