Like Young

(album: Get Happy! - 1959)

I'm out doing the usual places
And I'm living it, like young
Then I dig me this face of all faces
He's the craziest, like young

He drinks coffee at Cafe Espresso
He reads Kerouac, like young
He goes where all the angry young men go
Recites poetry, like young

We start blowing the pad around 'leven
And we're homing it, like now
We spin records on cloud number seven
And he's reaching me, like wow

I'm all unstrung 'cause, man
He's got me feeling like young
If he were to brush me and go
I'm starting to wear my hair again
Like a square again

I keep getting the kookiest notion
I think maybe it's like love
I've been feeling a crazy emotion
I think, baby, it's like love

Now we're riding a rainbow to Cloudsville
And we're making it like young
Love soft as April snow
Love warm as candle glow
Love, love is easy to go

I'm all unstrung 'cause, man
He's got me feeling like young
Without him I'm no good at all
Without him I'm less than a decimal
Infinitesimal

I keep getting the kookiest notion
I think maybe it's like love
I've been feeling a crazy emotion
I think, baby, it's like love

Now we're riding a rainbow to Cloudsville or Wowsville
We're making it, making it like, like, like young
