Lyrics

[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
