Don't Write Naughty Words On

I Went From Adolescence To Senility, Trying To Bypass Maturity.

I Figure I Wrote 37 Songs In 20 Years, And That's Not Exactly A Full-time Job. It Wasn't That I Was Writing And Writing And Writing And Quit.

I'm Not An Original Composer. The Tunes Are Not Stolen From Other Tunes Necessarily Except In A Few Cases, But They're In The Style Of Songs That I Grew Up With.

I Always Like To Make Explicit The Fact That Before I Went Off Not Too Long Ago To Fight In The Trenches, I Was A Mathematician By Profession. I Don't Like People To Get The Idea That I Have To Do This For A Living. I Mean, It Isn't As Though I Had To Do This, You Know, I Could Be Making, Oh, Three Thousand Dollars A Year Just Teaching.

The Poor Folks Hate The Rich Folks, And The Rich Folks Hate The Poor Folks. All Of My Folks Hate All Of Your Folks, It's American As Apple Pie.
