Bobby Darin - Me & Mr. Hohner Lyrics

Standin' on the corner

Not doin' nothin' to no one.

When a squad car stops

And out jump cops

You one of them, if I ever saw one.



Wonder what I said

As my face turned red

Up against the wall, says the tall one.



That's a cute mustache

Have ya got any hash?

I'd like to make a buy, says the small one.



Now da whole thing's silly

But I'm starin' at the billy

Quietly askin' myself now will he …



Use that thing

To make my eardrums ring

It's all a bad dream

And I'm in South Philly

Now tell ‘em, Mr. Hohner …



Me and Mr. Hohner

In Yuma, Arizona

Tryin' to hitch a ride to Denver.



Well, out of a toll

Comes the highway patrol

To check up on my gender.



Is it her or him

Or maybe Tiny Tim?

Now up against the fence, says the dense one.


You have picked a bad spot

To smoke your pot

Whatcha gonna do two against one?



Now da whole thing's silly

But I'm starin' at the billy

Quietly askin' myself now will he …



Use that thing

To make my eardrums ring

It's all a bad dream

And I'm in South Philly

Now tell ‘em, Mr. Hohner …



Me and Mr. Hohner

Relaxin' out at Kona

Hawaiian sun can be groovy.



When a pair of MPs

Yell out, freeze!

And I think I gotta part in a movie.



Hey! I'm talkin' to you

Tell me what did I do?

You're a draft card burner, says the thin one.



We can tell by your looks

That you read too many books of wars

And that's because ya ain't been in one.



Now the whole thing's silly

But I'm starin' at the billy

Quietly askin' myself now will he …



Use that thing

To make my eardrums ring

It's all a bad dream

And I'm in South Philly

Now tell ‘em, Mr. Hohner …
