lyrics

I was born in ’29
the Great Depression
in the heart of the dustbowl
in a tiny little town
and my Dad worked in dry goods
Ma was a tailor
they came over from Hungary
when hunger was all around

and at one time I’d have been Mickey
and today I would probably be
Juanito

Cause there is nothing new under the sun
my son
there is nothing new under the sun

Made my own way through school
learning first do no harm
and that’s one rule to live by
I’d say it works like a charm
made my way to the greatest city
locked eyes with a dream
across a garden party rooftop
a woman of some means
and it’s 50 years I’d never give back
no, not even one

Now there is nothing new under the sun
my son
there is nothing new under the sun

Lost my Ma in ’48
Dad in ’63
Lost your mother in ’08
come the day you lose me
remember nothing comes from nothing
so take something of me
keep your mind
your humor
and a wonder of all things
while there’s no use denying
that you’ll keep right on trying
to roll that stone up the hill
remember there’s

nothing new under the sun
my son
there is nothing new under the
nothing new under the
nothing new under the
