C I know a gal got a lot to lose F9 She's a pretty nice lady but she’s kinda confused C Got muscles in her head ain't never been used G Thinks she owns half of this town C Starts drinking heavy gets a big red nose F9 And she beats her old man with her pantyhose
C And takes him out and buys him new clothes G C That's the way that the world goes 'round C That's the way that the world goes 'round F9 One minute you’re up and the next you’re down C It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown G C That's the way that the world goes 'round C Well I was sittin’ in the tub just a countin’ my toes F9 When the radiator broke and the water froze C Got stuck in the ice without any clothes G Naked as the eyes of a clown C I was crying ice cubes hoping that I'd croak F9 When the sun came through the window and the ice all broke C I said son of a gun man that’s just a joke G C And that's the way that the world goes 'round C That's the way that the world goes 'round F9 One minute you’re up and the next you’re down C It's a half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown G C That's the way that the world goes 'round
