Talking Candy Bar Blues - Peter,Paul & Mary[00:00:00]
Bought a candy bar the other day[00:00:09]
Only ate half[00:00:11]
S'gonna throw the rest away[00:00:12]
When I saw this kid playin' in the street[00:00:13]
I said, "Hey kid,[00:00:15]
You want somethin' to eat?"[00:00:16]
He said, "Whut?"[00:00:17]
I said "Candy, son", he said, "Help"[00:00:19]
Then he started to[00:00:21]
Run and I stood there[00:00:22]
Watchin' him go[00:00:24]
Half a bar of chocolate[00:00:26]
Runnin' down my fingers[00:00:28]
Well, the kid comes back[00:00:32]
In a minute or two[00:00:33]
But his mom's with him[00:00:35]
And the neighbors too[00:00:36]
And they got the kid scared[00:00:37]
It's plain to see[00:00:37]
They say, "Which one done it?"[00:00:38]
He points at me[00:00:40]
He says "Him", I say[00:00:41]
"What do you mean?"[00:00:43]
He says "You!"[00:00:43]
Then he starts to scream[00:00:44]
And I'm standin', everybody's lookin'[00:00:46]
Everybody's starin' at me[00:00:49]
Howdy doody,[00:00:53]
Y'all waitin' for the bus[00:00:55]
Ah, a little late isn't it,[00:00:57]
Anybody got a watch[00:01:02]
We could uh see how late it is[00:01:03]
I got a better idea,[00:01:06]
Let's find somebody with a watch[00:01:07]
And stare at him[00:01:08]
Well some start pickin' up baseball bats[00:01:12]
And the others are[00:01:14]
Pullin' the pins from their hats[00:01:15]
"I think this thing's[00:01:16]
Gone a little too far[00:01:17]
Hell, I only offered him a candy bar",[00:01:18]
I said, "Wait"[00:01:19]
I said, "What are you doin'?"[00:01:22]
They said, "Prevert the kid's life is ruined"[00:01:23]
"Oh oh well, then you better check[00:01:26]
What he's chewin'[00:01:28]
'Cause I got the feelin'[00:01:29]
He's in the middle[00:01:30]
Of a bubble gum orgy"[00:01:30]
Well, they're comin' at me[00:01:34]
And I'm backin' away[00:01:36]
And then I hear this policeman say[00:01:37]
"Are you positive he's the right man?"[00:01:39]
I quick flicked the candy bar[00:01:41]
Out of my hand[00:01:42]
He says, "Show me", I says,[00:01:43]
"Show ya what?"[00:01:45]
He says the candy bar[00:01:46]
You degenarut and he grabs me[00:01:47]
He grabs both my hands,[00:01:50]
Pretty easy to see[00:01:53]
Which hands got the chocolate[00:01:55]
Well, I've had some troubled times before[00:02:04]
But none like the trip[00:02:06]
From the candy store[00:02:07]
Sympathize with the kid all right[00:02:09]
Somebodys nice to ya,[00:02:11]
Probably aint right[00:02:12]
I'll grow up, I'll learn the way[00:02:13]
I'll learn so that my later days'll[00:02:16]
Be prosperous[00:02:18]
Chocolate covered[00:02:20]
If I don't bite off[00:02:22]
More than I can hide[00:02:24]
