I know a guy that's got a lot to lose!
he's a pretty nice fellow;
kinda confused.
Got muscles in his head;
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
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,
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 icem
without my clothes,
naked as the eyes of a clown.
I was crying ice cubesm
hoping I'd croakm
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.
