And I want to meet him one day
I heard Dick Gregory one time
And I want to tell him one day

Lyrics

Well now
The first time I saw Dick Gregory
Was down by the Seabrook site
There were other speakers the same day speaking but they didn't make me
Feel quite right

Well then on came Mr Gregory
He said what I was waiting to hear all the time
So I heard Dick Gregory talk
And it made me feel just fine

And instantly, I loved him so
And I wanted him to know
I heard him talk
And it made me feel all right

Oh oh I loved his way
Yeah that's what I say
I heard Dick Gregory speak that time
And I want to meet him one day

Well now the second time I heard Dick Gregory
Was at a service for Luther King
They had choirs singing and it was a beautiful thing

When I went I had a fever
I say I didn't feel so good that day
But then I heard him speak
And he took it all away

Oh and I loved him so
I wanted him to know
I heard him talk
And it made me feel all right

Oh oh I loved his way
Yeah that's what I say
I heard Dick Gregory speak some times
I want to tell him one day
Heard Dick Gregory speak a second time
And I wanted to meet him one day
I heard Dick Gregory speak now three times
And I want to meet him one day

Lyrics

[I gotta do one more, I forgot we're in St Louis and that's well, someone who I admire very much grew up here
I have a song called 'Dick Gregory']

Well I'll tell ya
The first time I heard Dick Gregory speak
It was New Hampshire by the Seabrook site
Well there were other speakers that day speaking
But didn't make me feel quite right

Then on came Mr Gregory
He said the words I wanted to hear all the time
So the first time I heard him speak
It just made me feel so fine,

And instantly
You'd say I loved him so
And also, I wanted him to know
I heard him talk and it made me
Feel so right

Well I loved his way
Yeah that's what I say
I heard Dick Gregory speak the first time
And I wanted to meet him one day

[The second time]

The second time I heard Dick Gregory
It was at a service for Luther King
There were other speakers now
And the choirs in it was a beautiful thing

And all the speakers they moved me
Both the black ones and also the white
So the second time I heard him talk
It made my heart inside feel right

And instantly
I loved him so
I wanted him to know
When I heard him talk it made me
Feel all right

You'd say I loved his way
Yeah folks, that's what I say
I heard Dick Gregory speak the first time
And I wanted to tell him one day
I heard Dick Gregory speak two times
And I wanted to tell him one day

[My name is Jonathan Richman
I call myself the modern lover
I'll see you later]

Lyrics

[I'm gonna tell you about the two times I saw Dick Gregory
First, I'm gonna tell you about the first time
Then the second time

Ok now
??? First time]

Well
The first time I heard Dick Gregory
It was down by the Seabrook site
Well there were other speakers that day speaking
But didn't make me feel quite right

But then on came Mr Gregory
He said what I was waiting to hear all the time
So the first time I heard him talk
It made me feel so fine,

And instantly
I loved him so
Oh yeah, I wanted him to know
[That's true]
I heard him talk and it made me
Feel all right

Well I loved his way
Yeah that's what I say
I heard Dick Gregory speak the first time
And I wanted to tell him one day

[So now the second time
The second time]

Well now
The second time I heard Dick Gregory
Was at a service for Luther King
Well they had choirs singing and
It was a beautiful thing

And all the speakers there moved me
Both the black ones and the white
So the second time I heard him talk
It made my heart feel right

And instantly
I loved him so
[That's right]
And I wanted him to know
I heard him talk it made me
Feel all right

Well
I loved his way
Yeah, that's what I say
I heard Dick Gregory speak one time
And I wanted to tell him how I felt one day
I heard Dick Gregory speak two times
And sometime if I get the chance
I want to tell him one day
