That’s the Way the World Goes ’Round

[Verse 1]

I know a gal that's got a lot to lose

She's a pretty nice lady, but she's kind of confused

Got muscles in her head, ain't never been used

Thinks she owns half of this town

Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose

She beats her old man with her pantyhose

Then she takes him out, buys him new clothes

It's the way that the world goes 'round

[Chorus]

That's the way that the world goes 'round

One minute you're up 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

[Verse 2]

Well, I was sittin' in the tub, just counting my toes

When the radiator broke and the water froze

I got stuck in the ice without any clothes

Naked as the eyes of a clown

I was cryin' ice cubes, hoping that I'd croak

When the sun come through the window and the ice all broke

I said, "Son of a gun, man, that's just a joke"

And that's the way that the world goes around

[Chorus]

That's the way that the world goes 'round

One minute you're up 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

[Chorus]

Well, I said that's the way that the world goes 'round

One minute you're up and the next you're down

Got a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown

That's the way that the world goes 'round

[Outro]

That's the way that the world goes 'round

That's the way that the world goes 'round
