See the Beatniks...

"See the Beatniks (An Ode to Non-Conformity)" written by Burt Siegel:

See, the beatniks in the Village
See, the beatniks on Macdougal Street,
See the beatniks in the Village,
And they all look just the same.

There's a tall one and a short one,
And a white one and a Negro one.
And they all go to the Village and they all look just the same.

And the boys all wear dungarees, and the girls all wear sandals,
And they're all non-conformists,
And they all dress just the same.

And they go to the university,
And they major in philosophy,
And they're all deep thinkers,
And they all think the same.

And they all read their Satre,
And they all read their Kierkegaard,
And they all talk about it,
But they all sound the same.

And they all like folk music
And they dig Woody Gutherie,
And just like Bob Dylan, 
They all sound the same.
