Well I'm a jitterbug boy
By the shoe-shine resting on my laurels
And my Hardy's too
Life of Riley on the swing shift
Girls follow my drift
Once upon a time I was
In show biz too
I seen the Brooklyn Dodgers
Playin at Ebbets Field
Seen the Kentucky Derby too
It'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 Fats
Burned hundred dollar bills
I eaten Mulligan stew
Got drunk with Louis Armstrong
What's that old song
I taught Mickey Mantle
Everything that he knows
And so you'll ask me
What I'm doin here
Holdin 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 talkin to you
