I know a guy that's got a lot to lose
He's a pretty nice fellow, kind of confused
Got muscles in his head, ain't never been used
Thinks he owns half of this town
Started drinking heavy got a big red nose
Beats his old lady with a rubber hose
Then he took her out to dinner, bought 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, the next you're down
It's a half an inch of water,
you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes round
I sat 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
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, you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes round
That's the way that the world goes round
You're up one day, the next you're down
It's a happy inch of lighter
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
That's the way that the world goes round
That's the way that the world goes round
I know a guy that's got a lot to loseThat's the Way the World Goes Round Lyrics
He's a pretty nice fellow, kinda confused
Got muscles in his head, ain't never been used
Started drinking heavy, got a big red nose
Beat his old lady with a rubber hose
Then he took her out to dinner, bought 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
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
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
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
I said, I was playing in this club in San Francisco
And this girl come up to the stage
So I leaned over and asked her what I could do for
her
And she said, she said, "Would you please sing that song
Of yours about the happy enchilada?"
And I said, "Geez, I've never written a song about any kind
Of enchilada, let alone a happy enchilada"
I said, "You might have me confused with somebody else"
She said, "No", she said, "You wrote a song about a happy enchilada"
I said, "Well, how's it go?", and
She says,
"It's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown"
That's the way that the world goes 'round
You're up one day, the next you're down
It's a happy enchilada 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

I know a guy
that's got a lot to lose
he's a pretty nice fellow
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.
