Never met a man I didnt like
High fullutent chant or a Bowery bum
Yes, Ive come a long way down the pike
Never met a man I didnt like
Royal Prince of Wales or working Joe
Though I know lifes one long rocky hike
Never met a man I didnt like
In all of my wonderin
Ive 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 didnt like
I said, I roamed along
A Nappy Valley
Schubert Alley, Ru De la Play
Oklahoma and Camalazo
And I have reached the conclusion
While hiking the pike
Yes Ill say when Im done
No I never met one that I didnt like
Met the worst and met the best
Somebody put me into the test
Almost made me change my mind
Yet somehow I always find
If you dont expect too much
Theres a certain human touch
Homosapiens have got
Other animals have not
Try the shoes on that are his
Feel what makes him what he is
Whats it like inside his skin
Living in the skin hes in
Just like me a lump of sod
There what for the grace of God
That is a philosophy
Of this part time Cherokee
Present into king or Pat and Mike
Folks can last but I can give up hope
Spun my rope along way down the pike
Never met a man I didnt like
High tone gent, Bowery bum
Prince of Wales, working Joe
Pat and Mike, Cherokee, philosophy
I never met a man I didnt like
