We made it down to New York   with everything intact   but as for getting back -   it was Boo who made the joke,   they don’t give you any hope   but they’ll give you plenty of rope   And Dan came in from Jersey   he went to get the drums   and if Buddy ever comes   we can get it off the ground   I hope someone’s coming down   ‘else I can’t see hanging around      Oh, experience is cheap   if that’s the company you keep   and a chance is all that I need   and I’ve had it   I’ve had it      So we all just started playing   and then something strange occurred -   not a person stirred   oh, it started out one way   but it turned out to be okay   and I felt that someone should say -      Oh, experience is cheap   if that’s the company you keep   and before you know that it’s free   you’ve had it   you’ve had it      Like most amazing things   It’s easy to miss and easy to mistake   For when things are really great   It just means everything’s in its place   When everything was over   and we loaded up the van   I turned and said to Dan,   Dan, I guess this is our prime   like they tell us all the time   weren’t you expecting some other kind?      Oh, experience is cheap   if that’s the company you keep   but I’ll never get that disease   ‘cause I’ve had it   I’ve had it
