♪♫ My chest is a 36, my overcoat is for a 42.

My trousers end 6 inches from the ground, 3 inches from my shoe,

Tied up with a piece of string and held together with fish-bone glue.

Call me an eccentric man, I don't believe I am

Call me an eccentric man, I don't believe I am.

My bed is a park bench and my sheet and blankets are newspaper pages.

The people think I'm crazy, but I know I'm wiser than all the sages,

'cos I have money they think that I'm a fool for doing what I do, but I know it's right.

Call me an eccentric man, I don't believe I am

Call me an eccentric man, I don't believe I am.

If ever I want to I can have the comfort of my country home.

But until that time I'm quite content to have walls made [out] of gravestones,

a carpet of moss, a ceiling of sky and a brown rat for a watch-dog.

Call me an eccentric man, I don't believe I am

Call me an eccentric man, I don't believe I am ♪♫

I wore this album out in high school. Underrated blues and great lyrics.

If I only had 10 songs to take to a desert island to hear forever, this would be one of them.

It's always so nice to pop on here and listen to what I grew up on. 57 now, and this really craves for some newbies who can bring it like this.
