1. Walking through the park, it wasn't quite dark,

                                                   Em

    there was a man sitting on a bench,

      G                                  Am

    out of the crowd as his head lowly bowed,

                 Em                    Am         Em               D

    he just moaned and he made no sense. And he'd just go …

 

  G                                  Am                         Em

Um um, um um um um, um um um, um um um.

  G                                  Am                         Em

Um um, um um um um, um um um, um um um.

 

    G

2. I just couldn't help myself,

                                             Em

    I was born with a curious mind,

       G                               Am

    I asked this man, just what did he mean,

                    Em                  Am      Em           D

    when he moaned, if he'd be so kind. And he'd just go …

                           + Em ~ ~    Am  Bm   C    D

    + CHORUS                       Ah,  ah,  ah,  ah !

 

      G

2. Now that I've grown up,

                                                      Em

    and the woman I love she has gone,

                   G                           Am

    now that I'm a man, I think I understand,

                      Em                    Am         Em                  D

    sometimes everyone must sing this song, so listen to me now…

                                   D                                              D

+ CHORUS  + Come on now ! + CHORUS + Everybody ! + CHORUS
