Thats The Way That The World Goes round

I know a guy
Thats got a lot to lose
Hes a pretty nice fellow
But hes kind of confused
Hes got muscles in his head
That aint 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
Thats the way that the world goes round.
Thats the way that the world goes round
Youre up one day
And the next youre down
Its half an inch of water
And you think youre gonna drown
Thats 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 Id croak
When the sun come through the window
The ice all broke
I stood up and laughed
Thought it was a joke
Thats the way that the world goes round.
