"Six Man Band"
(Terry Kirkman)
Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master
Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):
This song, "Along Comes Mary", and "Cherish", were probably closer to
what THE ASSOCIATION was really about than any other recordings. The
release of this song was accompanied by one of the first American Pop
Videos, although at that time done on 16mm film.

Verse 1:
[N..]
Well I'm a day at a time
I'm a day at a time
Well, I'm a seeker and a knower in a six man mind
[N..]
[intro riff, 1X]
Verse 2:
[2: 'Cause] I'm a travelin' man
Yes, I'm a travelin' man
I'm a comer and a goer in a six man band
[N..]
[Intro riff, 1X]
Bridge:
Well I'm a California man, my instrument in hand
I'm electrified
On a fast flyin' trip, dirty laundry in my grip
Mostly drip-dry
We got the seventeen jewels that dictate the rules
And the time to fly as we're passin' by
We just got the time to say hello and then a fast
Goodbye
[repeat verse 2]
Coda:
[repeat intro riff to fade]
