That’s the Way That the World Goes.

I know a guy that’s got a lot to lose,
He’s a pretty nice fellow, but kind of confused,
He’s got muscles in his head ain’t never been used,
Thinks he own half of this town.

Started drinking heavy, gets a big red nose,
Beats his old lady with a rubber hose,
Then he took her out to dinner, bought 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 stood in the bathtub a 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.

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.

That’s the way that the world goes ’round,
You’re up one day, the next, you’re down,
It’s a ‘happy insalata’ and you think you’re gonna drown,
That’s the way that the world goes ’round.

That’s the way that the world goes ’round.
That’s the way that the world goes ’round.

“That’s the way that the world goes ’round”.
