wild man fischer - wild man on the strip again lyrics

[we find wild man back on sunset strip performing for p-ssersby, again ably overdubbed by arthur dyer tripp iii in the studio]

neil: i don’t have a dime but i’ll give you—
wmf: what’s wrong? they’re good songs!
neil: okay, play it!
wmf: no, you give me a dime, i’ll sing it to you

mudslide: [sings] merry go, merry go, merry go round, ha ha . . . ah hrmm . . . rrrhrrmm . .

[lots of street noise, with traffic, music, and inaudible conversation, then we hear the following exchange repeated several times thanks to the magic of the tape loop]
