I know a guy
|
that's got a lot to lose
|
he's a pretty nice guy
|
but he's kind of confused
|
he's got muscles in his head
|
that ain't never been used
|
thinks he own half of this town
|
|
starts drinking heavy
|
gets a big red nose
|
beats his old lady
|
with a rubber hose
|
then he takes her out to dinner
|
and buys her new clothes
|
that's the way that the world goes 'round.
|
|
That's the way that the world goes 'round
|
you're up one day
|
and the next you're down
|
it's half an inch of water
|
and you think you're gonna drown
|
that's the way that the world goes 'round.
|
|
I was sitting in the bathtub
|
counting my toes
|
when the radiator broke
|
water all froze
|
I got stuck in the ice
|
without my clothes
|
naked as the eyes of a clown
|
|
I was crying ice cubes
|
hoping I'd croak
|
when the sun come through the window
|
the ice all broke
|
I stood up and laughed
|
thought it was a joke
|
that's the way that the world goes 'round
|
