Never Met A Man I Didn't Like Lyrics > Will Rogers Follies, The

Never met a man I didn't like
High fallutten gent or bowery bum
Yes, I've come a long way
down the pike
Never met a man I didn't like

Never shook a hand I didn't like
Royal Prince of Wales or working Joe
Though I know life's one long rocky hike
Never met a man I didn't like

In all of my wanderin'
I've bumped into all kinds of people
Fancy cinema stars, fake evangelist,
politicians, morticians

And I have reached the conclusion
while hiking the pike
Though I try and I try
Never once met a guy that I didn't like
I said I roamed along the Napa Valley,
Shubert Alley, Rue de la Paix,
Oklahoma, and Kalamazoo
And I have reached the conclusion
while hiking the pike
Yes I'll say when I'm done
No I never met one that I didn't like

Met the worst and met the best
Some who put me to the test
Almost made me change my mind
Yet somehow I always find
If you don't expect too much
There's a certain human touch
Homo sapiens have got other animals have not

Try the shoes on that are his
Feel what makes him what he is
What's it like inside his skin
Living in the skin he's in
Just like me a lump of sod
There but for the grace of God
That is the philosophy of this part time Cherokee

President and King or Pat and Mike
Folks can laugh but I can't give up hope
Spun my rope along way down the pike
Never met a man I didn't like
High tone gent, bowery bum
Prince of Wales, working Joe
Pat and Mike
Cherokee, philosophy
Never met a man I didn't like
