Oh, well, i was born in alittle bitty tar hut
and they called me a man and'cause i couldnand't
keep my big, big mouth shut
so whatand's the sense of me sitting here leaving
when any ole day i might be even
and lord knows that new york cityand's got
a lot to do with it
i wish someday i could find the way
to get it out of my grain
this dirty old townand's gonna sink right down
and i donand't want to go with it
well i wish there was a way that
i knew to get even
a way to get a lick in
a and'bobbinand' and a and'weavinand'
any ole thing besides goinand' and aand'leavinand'
you can do on a train
Well, i once knew a man who sailed around
the world twice

and lord knows new york cityand's got
alot to do with it
i wish someday i could find a way to get it out
of my brain
this dirty old townand's gonna sink right down
and i donand't want to go with it
i wish there was a way that i knew to get even,
way to get a lick in
a and'bobbinand' and aand'weavinand'
any ole thing besides goinand' and aand'leavinand'
