That's the Way That the World Goes Round - Live

Lyrics

I know a guy that's got a lot to lose
 He's a pretty nice fellow, but kinda confused
 He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used
 Thinks he own half of this town
 Started drinking heavy, got a big red nose
 Beat his old lady with a rubber hose
 Then he took her out to dinner and 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 was sittin' in the bathtub countin' my toes
 When the radiator broke, the 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 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
 That's the way that the world goes 'round
 (This song here, about a fella and his wife
 Uh, he's a real nice guy
 And, uh, she's a real nice girl
 She's got a whole bunch of friends
 That thinks she's the best gal in the whole world
 When they get together as a couple
 Uh, they kinda form a, a, as a couple
 They form a third personality
 And, uh, nobody can understand them
 You know, ha
 I guess it's call love, ha
 It's called "There She Goes")
