tom waits - jitterbug boy lyrics
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
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
beause 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 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
