We made it down to New York

with everything intact

but as for getting back -

it was Boo who made the joke,

they don't give you any hope

but they'll give you plenty of rope

And Dan came in from Jersey

he went to get the drums

and if Buddy ever comes

we can get it off the ground

I hope someone's coming down

'else I can't see hanging around

Oh, experience is cheap

if that's the company you keep

and a chance is all that I need

and I've had it

I've had it

So we all just started playing

and then something strange occured -

not a person stirred

oh, it started out one way

but it turned out to be okay

and I felt that someone should say -

Oh, experience is cheap

if that's the company you keep

and before you know that it's free

you've had it

Like most amazing things

It's easy to miss and easy to mistake

For when things are really great

It just means everything's in its place

When everything was over

and we loaded up the van

I turned and said to Dan,

Dan, I guess this is our prime

like they tell us all the time

weren't you expecting some other kind?

Oh, experience is cheap

if that's the company you keep

but I'll never get that disease

'cause I've had it

I've had it
