作词 : Waits Well I'm a jitterbug boy, by the shoeshine 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 Ebbets Field Seen the Kentucky Derby too It's fast women, slow horses, unreliable sources And I'm holding up a lamppost, if you wanna 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 So you'll ask me what I'm doin' here holdin' up a lamppost Flippin' this quarter, tryin' to make up my mind If it's heads, I'll go to Tennessee, tails, I'll buy a drink If it lands on the edge, I'll keep talkin' to you [scat]
