Elton John - (Gotta Get A) Meal Ticket Lyrics

I can hound you if I need to 
Sip your brandy from a crystal shoe 
In the corner, in the corner 
While the others climb reaching dizzy heights 
The world's in front of me in black and white 
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line 

I'd have a cardiac if I had such luck 
Lucky losers, lucky losers landing on skid row 
Landing on skid row 
While the Diamond Jims and the King's road pimps 
Breath heavy in their brand new clothes 
I'm on the bottom line, I'm on the bottom line 

And I gotta get a meal ticket 
To survive you need a meal ticket 
To stay alive you need a meal ticket 

Feel no pain (no pain), no regret (no regret) 
When the line's been signed, you're someone else 
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest 

Shake a hand if you have to 
Trust in us, and we will love you anyway, anyway 
Don't leave us stranded in the jungle 
With fifty percent, that's hard to handle 
Ain't that so, ain't that so 

And I gotta get a meal ticket 
To survive you need a meal ticket 
To stay alive you need a meal ticket 

Feel no pain (no pain), no regret (no regret) 
When the line's been signed, you're someone else 
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest 

Meal Ticket 

Gotta get a meal ticket 

And I gotta get a meal ticket 
To survive you need a meal ticket 
To stay alive you need a meal ticket 

Feel no pain (no pain), no regret (no regret) 
When the line's been signed, you're someone else 
Do yourself a favor, the meal ticket does the rest 

Meal Ticket 
Meal Ticket....
