Time Travelin' Man
A comic wanderer visits eras for romance, then hides the evidence by returning seconds after he left.

Lyrics
Time Travelin' Man
By Smartass Amoeba
I'm a time travelin' man
Made a lot of stops all over time
And in every year I found
A pretty gal who said that she was mine
Time travelin' man
Yes, I'm goin' when I can
From the ancient past to days to be
Every year has a gal for me
Met a lass in ancient Rome
Loved the way she called me home
Had an Egyptian queen
Prettiest I've ever seen
Danced with a dolly in the roarin' twenties
Loved that Charleston cutie too
Then I slipped away again
I'm a time travelin' man
Time travelin' man
Yes, I'm goin' when I can
From the ancient past to days to be
Every year has a gal for me
Met a French dame so refined
Powdered cheeks and laughing eyes
A prairie girl in the ye olde West
Sunlight shining on her dress
Met a hippie in the summer sun
Thought maybe she'd be the one
But I kept moving right on through
Like time travelin' men will do
Time travelin' man
Yes, I'm goin' when I can
From the ancient past to days to be
Every year has a gal for me
Met an ace in days to come
Under stars and engine hum
She said stay and don't be gone
But the current pulled me on
So I ride the years again
Never knowing where or when
That's the way it's always been
For a time travelin' man
My wife wants to know
Where all my time really goes
So I adjusted my return
Only a few seconds passed
Time travelin' man
Yes, I'm goin' when I can
From the ancient past to days to be
Every year has a gal for me
Time travelin' man
Yes, I'm goin' when I can
From the ancient past to days to be
Every year has a girl for me
