“ DIRTY OLD MAN ”
Words and Music by Keith McGavern


A dirty old man is what I am, whether
Lying in bed or sitting on the can.
I play with myself all the day long, whether
Fooling in my pockets or singing a song, so you’d better

Watch out, if I’m near
You’ll probably find me calling you dear
And look out if I move
It’s only with you that I seek to groove

Pretending to be what I’m really not, you see there’s
Something I want that I haven’t got. So
If I come on with a line or two, well that’s
Just my way of really getting to know you, so you’d better

Watch out, if I’m near
You’ll probably find me calling you dear
And look out if I move
It’s only with you that I seek to groove

Now I’m a sinner and a guilt free man, why there’s
Just no escaping it in this land. So
If you find yourself looking down on me, well the
Person you see is the person you be, so you’d better

Watch out, if I’m near
You’ll probably find me calling you dear
And look out if I move
It’s only with you that I seek to groove

Now I've been living for a day or three
And there's just no time like now for you and for me
You've heard my words, you've heard me say
What else can I tell you now let up pray

Watch out, if I’m near
You’ll probably find me calling you dear
And look out if I move
It’s only with you that I seek to groove
