I came to this world like everyone   My mother had me and I was born   I went to school like all the rest   Tried real hard and did my best   I flunked out      But that's not really where I went wrong   It was when I started singin' folk songs   I had Phil on the brain, Woody in my skin   I changed my name to Bobby Dylan   I was a real folksinger      Humdinger      But I knew if I were gonna be like them   I had to meet the people and see the land   So I packed up all the songs I know   Said goodbye and was down the road      I landed in Oglethorpe      That's a small town down in Georgia   Mighty fine place   Hoo hoo!      Well, I fell in love and I fell right out   Texas way or thereabouts   And I played in front of all sorts of crowds   And someone always seems to shout   "You know any Lynyrd Skynyrd?"      If I got a dime every time I heard   Someone out there shoutin' "Free Bird" I'd be a rich man      Probably richer if I knew it      So I headed up west to the coast   And through them mountains I almost froze   But soon I saw Seattle's light   It rained too much   I left that night      You know, there's a lot of things you can do in Seattle      I can't think of 'em right now      Whoo!      Yeah, I rambled up and I rambled down   And I landed in New York Town   Where they kicked me out of there with mean words 'n' stuff   Said I didn't come early enough   Should've been about, here about thirty years ago   All that folk stuff's come and gone      What are you tryin' to be?      Bob Dylan?      Yeah, I'm tellin' you, bein' a folksinger today   Is like bein' a dinosaur with somethin' to say   Oh m'god!      Burl Ives, get outta the way      I'm a real folksinger      Humdinger   Woo hoo hoo!
