Never met a man I didn't like

High fallutten gent or bowery bum

Yes I've come a long way

Down the pike

Never met a man I didn't like

Never shook a hand I didn't like

Royal Prince of Wales or working Joe

Though I know life's one long rocky hike

Never met a man I didn't like

In all of my wanderin'

I've bumped into all kinds of people

Fancy cinema stars fake evangelist

Politicians morticians

And I have reached the conclusion

While hiking the pike

Though I try and I try

Never once met a guy that I didn't like

I said I roamed along the Napa Valley

Shubert Alley

Rue de la Paix

Oklahoma and Kalamazoo

And I have reached the conclusion

While hiking the pike

Yes I'll say when I'm done

No I never met one that I didn't like

Met the worst and met the best

Some who put me to the test

Almost made me change my mind

Yet somehow I always find

If you don't expect too much

There's a certain human touch

Homo sapiens have got other animals have not

Try the shoes on that are his

Feel what makes him what he is

What's it like inside his skin

Living in the skin he's in

Just like me a lump of sod

There but for the grace of God

That is the philosophy of this part time Cherokee

President and king or Pat and Mike

Folks can laugh but I can't give up hope

Spun my rope along way down the pike

Never met a man I didn't like

High tone gent bowery bum

Prince of Wales working Joe

Pat and Mike

Cherokee philosophy

Never met a man I didn't like
