| | | | Lyrics: | When I was a young boy in Brooklyn
Going to public school
During recess in the concrete
playground
They lined us up by twos
In alphabetical order, Reagan, Reed and Russo
I
still remember the names
And stickball and stoopball
Were the only games that we
played
And I wanted to be like my old man
I wanted to grow up just like my old man
I
wanted to be like my old man
I wanted to dress like
I wanted to be just like
I wanted to
act like my old man
I wanted to be like
I wanted to act like
I wanted to be just like my
old man
And then like everyone else I started to grow
And I didn't want to be like my
father anymore
I was sick if his bullying
And having to hide under a desk on the
floor
And when he beat my mother
It made me so mad I could choke
And I didn't want to be
like my old man
I didn't even want to look like my old man
I didn't even want to seem like
my old man
A son watches his father
Being cruel to his mother
And makes a vow to
return only when
He is so much richer
In every way so much bigger
That the old man will
never hit anyone again
Like my old man [x4]
And can you believe what he said to
me
He said, "Lou, act like a man"
Why don't you act just like a man
Act like your
daddy
Act like a man
Why don't you act like a man
Like your old man
Like my old
man | | |
