"I know a man who's got a lot to lose A pretty nice fella, kinda confused Got muscles in his head that've never been used He thinks he owns half of this town He goes out drinkin' gets a big red nose Beats his old lady with a rubber hose Then he takes her out to dinner Buys her new clothes That's the way that the world goes 'round You're up one day, the next you're down It's a half-an-inch of water and you think you're gonna drown That's the way that the world goes 'round"
