Verse
The other night I had a crazy dream
Bout a man in a fishin hat, he was sellin magazines
All the way from Kingston he had worked his way down
And I bought him a drink on the night they kicked him outta town
He said, "You know I don't like the way I am
You know I don't like the way I am
You know I don't like the way I am
No, no, no I don't like the way I am"
Verse
And I saw an old fisherman swayin on the dock
Swingin a junk of somethin and the string of fish that he had caught
His wife had left him just a week before
She packed up her bags and waltzed on out the door
She said, "You know I don't like the way I am
You know I don't like the way I am
You know I don't like the way I am
You know I don't like the way I am
N.C.
And then she cried right aloud
Chorus
She sang, "Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee
Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee
Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee
Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-eeeee-eeeeee"
Verse
And you and me walked down the shores of our youth
Chasin the sunrise and challenging the truth
It's all so distant now, I've seen too many lies
Turning my vision into crumbling demise
Aww, you know I don't like the way I am
I don't like the way I am
But you know, I'm gonna change the way I am
Oh yes I am, I'm gonna change the way I am
N.C.
Right now, hear me crying
Chorus
Sing, Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee
Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-he
Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee
Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-eeeee-eeeeee
Verse
The other night I had a crazy dream
About a man in a fishin hat he was sellin old magazines
All the way from Kingston he had worked his way down
And I, I bought him a drink on the night they kicked him outta town
He said to me, he said, "You know I don't like the way I am (just like that)
You know I don't like the way I am
But I'm gonna change the way I am, yes I am
I'm gonna change the way I am"
Chorus
N.C. (This entire section is yodelled)
Then he played a song for me on a squeeze-box
N.C.
Say hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo
hooo-hooo
N.C.
hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo
hooo-hooo
N.C.
hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo
hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo-oo
N.C.
hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo hoo-oo-hoo-oo-hoo
hooo-hooo
Outro
Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-he
Yay-ee la-oo tay-ee-he-ee
