story behind the song: once upon a time and tonight's invasion of the locker room by horde of young swimmers with extremely loud noise capability. some honking horns and sirens on the way home and a meandering mind.
Lyrics
those little guys told me from the start
"gonna be hard minin' love from her heart"
they said, "that you will never do.
gotta give back, not takin' you fool."
those little guys seem to be right
i think they've got some sort of second sight
they said,"treat her as a precious jewel
a finished one, you dim witted mule"
those little guys taught me a lot
but they laughed when they saw what i'd brought
they said, "she's not a trophy for your display case
no wonder you never even got to first base"
for love to be real, now i understand
love lives in your heart, not mined in gnome man's land.
