When I was just a boy the girls found it cute
When their favorite bands wore matching suits
And they sang about love and how much it hurt
Then came the man in the Rorschach shirt
He had newspaper taxis and green tambourines
Matchstick men in yellow submarines
All those skipping reels of rhyme we heard
Were thanks to the man in the Rorschach shirt
And mystic mellow yellow
Girls with kaleidoscope eyes
Clutched surrealistic pillows
And danced ‘neath diamond skies
And we sported Nehru collars
And striped bell-bottom pants
Medallions as big as silver dollars
‘Cause we gave peace a chance
I awoke one morning to a world gone gray
Everybody wearing jeans and torn chambray
They were singing ‘bout the joys of working in the dirt
Gone was the man in the Rorschach shirt
I miss the man in the Rorschach shirt
