Bought a candy bar the other day,
Only ate half, sgonna throw the rest away
When I saw this kid playin in the street,
I said hey kid, you want somethin to eat?
He said whut?
I said candy, son. he said help!
Then he started to run,
And I stood there,
Watchin him go,
Half a bar of chocolate
Runnin down my fingers.
Well the kid comes back in a minute or two
But his moms with him and the neighbors too,
And they got the kid scared its plain to see,
They say which one done it? he points at me.
He says him. I say what do you mean?
He says you! then he starts to scream,
And Im standin, everybodys lookin,
Everybodys starin -at me- ... (nervous laugh)
Howdy doody...yall waitin for the bus?
Ah ... a little late isnt it ... anybody got a watch? ...
We could uh see how late it is ...
I got a better idea, lets find somebody with a watch
And stare at him!
Well some start pickin up baseball bats
And the others are pullin the pins from their hats -
I think this things gone a little too far,
Hell, I only offered him a candy bar! I said wait!
I said what are you doin?
They said pre-vert the kids life is ruined!
Oh...oh well then you better check what hes chewin
Cause I got the feelin
Hes in the middle of a bubble gum orgy!
Well theyre comin at me and Im backin away
And then I hear this policeman say
Are you positive hes the right man?
(I quick flicked the candy bar out of my hand).
He says show me.
I says show ya what?
He says the candy bar you degen-a-rut and he grabs me.
He grabs both my hands.
Pretty easy to see ...
Which hands got the chocolate!
Well Ive had some troubled times before,
But none like the trip from the candy store ...
Sympathize with the kid all right,
Somebodys nice to ya, probably aint right.
Ill grow up, Ill learn the way.
Ill learn so that my later daysll be prosperous.
(chocolate covered) ...
If I dont bite off more than I can hide.
Peter, Paul and Mary is an American folk music trio formed in 1960 in New York City. Composed of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers, the group rose to fame in the 1960s for their folk-rock music, often featuring politically and socially conscious lyrics. Among their most notable hits are "If I Had a Hammer", "Blowin' in the Wind" (a cover of Bob Dylan), and "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Peter, Paul and Mary participated in numerous events for the American civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963. Their musical style influenced generations of folk and rock artists, contributing to the spread of folk music throughout the United States and the world. After a hiatus in the 1970s, the group reunited on several occasions for concerts and recordings until 2018, when Mary Travers passed away.
