Chorus:
|
And you think you've seen trouble
|
Well you're lookin' at the man ah ha
|
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
|
And a hard time losin' man
|
|
Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy
|
And sometimes skies are blue
|
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
|
But sometimes the bear eats you
|
And sometimes I feel like I should go
|
Far far away and hide
|
'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in
|
And all that ever comes is the tide
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Oh I saved up all my money
|
I gonna buy me a flashy car
|
So I go downtown to see the man
|
And he smokin' on a big cigar
|
Well he must'a thought I were Rockefeller
|
Or an uptown man of wealth
|
He said "Boy I got the car that's made for you
|
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"
|
Then I got on the highway...oh, I feelin' fine...I hit a bump
|
Then I found I bought a car held together
|
By wire, and a couple a' hunks of twine
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Oh, Friday night, feelin' right
|
I head out on the street
|
Standin' in the doorway
|
Was a dealer known as Pete
|
Well he sold me a dime of some super fine
|
Dynamite from Mexico
|
I spent all that night
|
Just tryin' to get right
|
On an ounce of Oregano
|
|
