作词 : Waits
Well, I'm a jitterbug boy by the shoe-shine
Resting on my laurels and my 
Hardy's too
Life of Riley on a swing shift gears follow my drift
Once upon a time 
I was in show-biz too
I seen the 
Brooklyn Dodgers playin' at 
Eb bets Field
Seen the Kentucky 
Derby tooIt's fast women, slow horses, 
I'm reliable sources
And I'm holding up a lamp post if you want to know
I seen the 
Wabash Cannonball, buddy, 
I've done it all
Because I slept with the lions and 
Marilyn Monroe
Had breakfast in the eye of a hurricane
Fought Rocky 
Marciano, played 
Minnesota 
FatsBurned hundred-dollar bills, 
I eaten Mulligan stew
And got drunk with 
Louis Armstrong what's that old song?
I taught Mickey 
Mantle everything that he knows
And so you ask me what 
I'm doing here holding up a lamp post
Flippin' this quarter trying to make up my mind
And if it's heads 
I'll go to 
Tennessee, and tails 
I'll buy a drink
If it lands on the edge 
I'll keep talking to you
