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
