lirik lagu alan klein - i wanna be a beatnik
i’m getting tired of them people
who keep asking what i’d like to be
don’t wanna be an engine driver, or even a deep sea diver
there’s only one thing that appeals to me
i wanna be a beatnik like me brother
i wanna do the things that beatniks do
wander ’round all day in sandals, sit in jazz clubs lit by candles
then lay about ’til dawn comes creeping through
i wanna say goodbye to all convention
and live me life exactly how i please
spend some nights in old bum houses, wear a pair of velvet trousers
with a big thick jumper way down past me knees
then i’d never need to have another haircut
well think of all the time and money that would save
i tried to grow a beard, but nothing’s yet appeared
though i’ve gone for weeks and weeks without a shave
but i wanna be a beatnik like me brother
i wanna feel footloose and fancy free
read me poems ‘neath the arches, go on “ban the h-bomb” marches
then pretend i’ve studied greek philosophy
me parents try to stifle my ambitions
they send me out to find a job to do
each employer that i meet shows me the door out to the street
with a “don’t phone me, i’ll get in touch with you”
but all things done and everything considered
i thought it over very carefully
and i still wanna be a beatnik like me brother
’cause that’s the only one thing that appeals to me, oh yes
that’s the only thing in life i wanna be
