Well I ain't been home for so doggone long I almost forgot where I come from
|
Ain't got no money but I still ain't a bum I'm almost nearly but not quite plumb
|
A back last summer down by the sea I seen a pretty girl in ---
|
I snapped my fingers said son of a gun she's almost nearly but not quite plumb
|
Some people wonder how I live sometimes I pick sometimes I give
|
People say I'm a bum I'm almost nearly but not quite plumb
|
|
I met a pretty girl up in Chicago she said honey baby I love you so
|
She begged me to stay and not act like a bum
|
I've been almost nearly but not quite plumb
|
Friends ask me why I don't take a wife settle down to a married life
|
They say it's good as most and it's better than some
|
I say I'm almost nearly but not quite plumb
|
Some people wonder how I live...

Just the other night out in Tucson I had a little date with a great big blonde
|
I took her home she said didn't we have fun hmm almost nearly but not quite plumb
|
When it's time for the final date with old Saint Pete's at the pearly gate
|
He'll say I hope you're ready for your time's come
|
I'll say I'm almost nearly but not quite plumb
|
Some people wonder how I live...
