I know a guy 
that's got a lot to lose 
he's a pretty nice guy 
but he's kind of confused 
he's got muscles in his head 
that ain't never been used 
thinks he own half of this town 

starts drinking heavy 
gets a big red nose 
beats his old lady 
with a rubber hose 
then he takes her out to dinner 
and 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 
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. 

I was sitting in the bathtub 
counting my toes 
when the radiator broke 
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
