Never met a man I didn't like
High fallutin? gent or bowery bum
Yes, I've come a long way
Down the pike
Never met a man I didn't like.
Never shook a hand I didn't like
Royal Prince of Wales or working Joe
Though I know life's one long rocky hike
Never met a man I didn't like.
In all of my wanderin'
I've bumped into all kinds of people
Fancy cinema stars, false evangelists,
Politicians, morticians,
And I have reached the conclusion
While hiking the pike
Though I try and I try
Never once met a guy that I didn't like.
I said I've roamed along the Napa Valley
Shubert Alley, Rue De La Play,
Oklahoma and Kalamazoo, oh oh oh
And I have reached the conclusion
While hiking the pike
Yes I'll say it till I'm done
No I never met one that I didn't like.
Met the worst and met the best
Somebody put me to the test
Almost made me change my mind
Yet somehow I'd always find
If you don't expect too much
There?s a certain human touch
Homo sapiens have got~ other animals have not
Try the shoes on that are his
Feel what makes him what he is
What's it like inside his skin
Living in the skin he's in
Just like me a lump of sod
There but for the grace of God
That is a philosophy of this part time Cherokee ~
President and King or Pat and Mike
Folks can last but I can't give up hope
Spun my rope a long way down the pike
Never met a man I didn't like.
High tone gent, bowery bum
Prince of Wales, working Joe
Pat and Mike
Cherokee, philosophy?.
I never met a man I didn't like.
