In Delaware when I was younger
I would live a life obscene
In the spring I had great hunger
I was Brando, I was Dean
Blaspheming booted blue jeaned baby boy
Oh, how I made them turn their heads
The townie brownie girls, they jumped for joy
And begged me bless them in their beds
In Delaware when I was younger
I would row upon the lake
In the spring I had great hunger
I was Keats, I was Blake
My pimpled pencilled pains I'd bring
To frogs who sat entranced
My drift dream ditties I would sing
The water striders danced
In Delaware when I was younger
They thought St. Andrew had sufficed
But in the spring I had great hunger
I was Buddha, I was Christ
You wicked wise men, where's your wonder?
You Pharisees one day will pay
See my lightning, hear my thunder
I am truth, I know the way
In Delaware when I was younger
End on
