Tom Waits - Jitterbug Boy Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Well, Im 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

Its fast women, slow horses, unreliable sources,

And Im holding up the lamp-post if you want to know

Ive seen the wabash cannonball, buddy, Ive 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, Ive eaten mulligan stew

Got drunk with louis armstrong, whats that old song?

I taught mickey mantle everything that he knows

So you ask me what Im doing here holding up the lamp-post,

Flipping this quarter, trying to make up my mind

And if its heads I go to tennessee, and tails I buy a drink,

If it lands on the edge I keep talking to you

(scat)
