I know a gal that´s got a lot to lose
She´s a pretty nice lady, kinda confused
Got muscles in her head, ain´t never been used
Thinks she owns half of this town

Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose
She beats her old man with her panty hose
Then she takes him out, buys him new clothes
It´s the way that the world goes ´round

That´s the way that the world goes ´round
One minute you´re up 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 tub just counting my toes
When the radiator broke and the water froze
I got stuck in the ice without any clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown

I was crying ice cubes, hoping that I´d croak
When the sun come through the window and the ice all broke
I said "son of a gun", man, that´s just a joke
That´s the way that the world goes ´round

That´s the way that the world goes ´round
One minute you´re up and the next you´re down
Got a half an inch of water and you think you´re gonna drown
That´s the way that the world goes ´round

Well I said that´s the way that the world goes ´round
One minute you´re up and the next you´re down
Got a 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
