Tonart: A minor

What is up?
Things sure are different

young skinny boys with their pants

below their rears,
Ab

young pretty girls who cov
Ab

er up their hair,
bearded lumberjacks

everywhere.
Nowadays things aren't
what they used to be.

you used to see.
This wasn't what the place was meant to be.

But I'm not sure about the
sound of the sea
Gm
That's the kind of thing
that could really get to me
Cm
Call me a curmudgeon,
call me a nuisance
When I was a boy,

a hot dog cost a few cents
A jar of pickles cost a dollar and a half

Now I see a jar for ten,
don't make me laugh
Ab

It's artisanal?

Bbm
What does that mean?
It's medicinal?
Bb

When I was a young man

Every bar I step into has another

An d what's with those kids

Don't they know that's
their prettiest part?
Bb
The best way to reach a
young man's heart
Eb
And these boys on skateboards
with hats and sunglasses

Loose -fitting jeans
that sag below their asses

I can't think of nothing more obnoxious
Bb
Than the sight of a teen

ager's boxers

son on Long Island
Ab

Bbm
There at least the streets are silent
Cm
But what would I do?
Cm
It's too quiet there,
Cm
Now don't get me started
on the guys with bushy beards
Bb
That's a look that I find a little weird
Every guy's a mix
Fm
of Paul Bunyan and Walt Whitman
Bb
It's enough to make me
want to call a hitman
Ab
Db
Like we used to do in the good old days
Cm
Bbm
There was nothing wrong

I'm too old to change,

Db
On my bench here by the park
Cm
Bbm
Where I've always left my mark
maybe I'll exchange a couple sneers
With the skinny kids with their

pants below their rears
Smile at the Muslim girls
Bbm
Fm
and sweet young dears
Bb
Try me one of them fancy beers
Cm
Say how are you to a passing lumberjack

See if he might say how are you back
Decide things aren't quite as bad as I feared

But I won't, won't, won't, won't,
Cm
Csus4
Cm
won't, won't, won't
Forget about it
