I know a gal got a lot to lose
Shes a pretty nice lady but shes kinda confused
Got muscles in her head aint never been used
Thinks she owns half of this town
Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose
And she beats her old man with her pantyhose
And takes him out and buys him new clothes
Thats the way that the world goes round
Thats the way that the world goes round
One minute youre up and the next youre down
Its a half an inch of water and you think youre gonna drown
Thats the way that the world goes round
Well, I was sitting in the tub just a counting my toes
When the radiator broke and the water froze
Got stuck in the ice without any clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying ice cubes hoping that Id croak
Then the sun came through the window and the ice all broke
I said son of a gun man thats just a joke
And thats the way the world goes round
Thats the way that the world goes round
One minute youre up and the next youre down
Got a half an inch of water and you think youre gonna drown
Thats the way that the world goes round
Well, thats the way that the world goes round
One minute youre up and the next youre down
Got a half an inch of water and you think youre gonna drown
Thats the way that the world goes round
Thats the way that the world goes round
Thats the way that the world goes round
