Try Some, Buy Some
David Bowie · Other Songs - David Bowie
- Album: Reality
- Lyrics and music by George Harrison
Way back in time
Someone said try some
I tried some
Now buy some
I bought some
Oh, ho
After a while
When I had tried them
Denied them
I opened my eyes and I saw you
Not a thing did I have
Not a thing did I see
'Till I called on your love
And your love came to me
Woh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Woh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho
Through my life
I've seen gray sky
Met big fry
Seen them die to get high
Oh, ho, ho
And when it seemed that I would
Always be lonely
I opened my eyes and I saw you
Not a thing did I feel
Not a thing did I know
'Till I called on your love
And your love sure did grow
Woh, ho, oh, ho, ho, ho
Woh, ho, ho, ho, oh, ho
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho
Won't you try some?
Baby, won't you buy some?
Won't you try some?
Baby, won't you buy some?
Woh, woh, woh, ho, oh
Woh, woh, woh, ho, oh
Woh, woh, woh, oh
Woh, woh, woh, ho, oh

Try Some, Buy Some
David Bowie's "Try Some, Buy Some" stands as a quintessential example of his early glam rock and pop sensibilities, released during the mid-1960s. The track showcases Bowie's signature theatrical flair and melodic craftsmanship, blending catchy hooks with a playful, consumerist theme that reflected the cultural zeitgeist of the era. As part of his formative discography, the recording demonstrates his ability to craft memorable pop structures while establishing the artistic persona that would later define his career. The song remains a staple of his early catalog, illustrating the transition from his initial rock roots to the more complex and experimental sounds he would soon explore.
