I know a man who's got a lot to lose A pretty nice fella, kinda confused Got muscles in his head that've never been used He thinks he owns half of this town He goes out drinkin' 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 a half-an-inch of water and you think you're gonna drown That's the way that the world goes 'round I was sittin' in the bathtub just countin' my toes When the radiator broke, water all froze I was stuck in the ice without my clothes Naked as the eyes of a clown I was cryin' ice cubes, hopin' I'd croak When the sun came through the window, the ice all broke I stood up and laughed, I 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 a 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 half-an-inch of water and you think you're gonna drown That's the way that the world goes 'round
