Well, I'm a jitterbug boy, by the shoe-shine
Resting on my laurels and my hardys 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 playing at ebbets field
Seen the kentucky derby too
It's fast women, slow horses, unreliable sources,
And I'm holding up the lamp-post if you want to know
I've seen the wabash cannonball, buddy, I've done it all
'cause 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've eaten mulligan stew
Got drunk with louis armstrong, what's that old song?
I taught mickey mantle everything that he knows
So you ask me what I'm doing here holding up the lamp-post,
Flipping this quarter, trying to make up my mind
And if it's heads I go to tennessee, and tails I buy a drink,
If it lands on the edge I keep talking to you
