[00:21.70]In Delaware when I was younger

[00:27.15]I would live the life obscene

[00:33.41]In the Spring I had great hunger.

[00:39.77]I was Brando. I was Dean

[00:44.21]Blaspheming, booted, blue-jeaned baby boy

[00:50.66]Oh how I made them turn their heads

[00:56.08]The townie, brownie girls, they jumped for joy

[01:01.49]And begged me bless them in their beds

[01:21.27]In Delaware when I was younger

[01:27.60]I would row upon the lake

[01:33.03]In the Spring I had great hunger

[01:39.31]I was Keats. I was Blake.

[01:43.81]My pimple pencil pains I'd bring

[01:50.18]To frogs who sat entranced

[01:55.50]My drift-dream ditties I would sing

[02:00.05]The water strider danced

[02:17.26]In Delaware when I was younger

[02:27.15]They thought St. Andrew had sufficed

[02:31.66]But in the Spring I had great hunger

[02:37.98]I was Buddha. I was Christ.

[02:43.42]You wicked wise men where you wonder

[02:48.82]You Pharisees one day will pay

[02:54.23]See my lightning, hear my thunder

[02:57.88]I am truth. I know the way

[03:18.63]In Delaware when I was younger

[03:23.10]🎵
