Things I learned in a hobo jungle
Were things they never taught me in a class room Like where to find a handout While thumbing through Chicago in the afternoon Hey I'm not bragging or complaining I'm just talking to myself man to man This old lentil fat I'm chewing Didn't take a lot of doing But I take a lot of pride in what I am I guess I grew up a loner Don't remember ever having any folks around But I keep thumbing through the phonebooks And looking for my Daddy's name in every town And I meet lots of people But I always end up leaving on the lam Hey where I've been, where I'm going I didn't take a lot of knowing But I take a lot of pride in what I am I never travel in a hurry 'Cause I got nobody waiting for me anywhere Home is anywhere I'm living If it's sleeping on some vacant beach or city square Or if I'm working on some road gang Or just living off the fat of our great land I never been nobody's idol but at least I have a title And I take a lot of pride in what I am This old lentil fat I'm chewing Didn't take a lot of doing I take a lot of pride in what I am |

The wealthy ones like you look down
On the common folk like me Makin' bets to what degree of fool we are Through your rose-coloured windows You see yourself above us Standin' in the mud and gazin' at the stars But the rich and poor have in common The common cold, the heartburn and the heartache Put our pants on just the same Your worth don't make you better, babe 'Cause I can tread water, babe As long as you think you make it rain While you got your raisin', girl And your diamond-studded world I got pulled up on the hungry side o' town I cut my teeth on bacon rind There ain't no hide as tough as mine But it might be fun awhile to be your clown So, get your whip and do your thing And I'll run around the ring Ride my white horse, wear my armour too Aah, but I don't easy blister, babe I'll be your Court Jester, babe Don't think you won't pay the fiddler too I put your hand in mine It was a shockin' time to find The water hot, the current strong and deep and wet You had me strugglin' for a time A-draggin' on your line But never fear, this fish will never swim While you're playin' with my mind I'll be payin' with your money, honey As long as your account can stand the drain I'll fan the flame and make it hotter 'Cause I think I can walk on water As long as you can make it rain Aww, I'll hang around awhile Study your style Come out a whole lot wiser man indeed 'Cause the last time anyone as grand As you appeared and looked around Found the grandest star up in the East Hey, but I don't see no halo Just a little girl with a lot of gold Wantin' one more trinket for her golden scene Aah, but you got a hot one hangin', kid Don't let him say you never did your best Be my guest, make it rain Aah, make it rain Babe, make it rain Make it rain Oh, make it rain |

Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear
It's the only place I know where the blue and lonely go The street light served to light my way as I make my way downtown To one of many nightspots I know where they're all found Yes I'm back again to the lonely life a life that many know Soon I'll be there with a glass of wine where the blue and lonely go Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear... There was a time when I had love and I tried so to be free From the life that I was used to it was just too hard for me Now as I try to keep my heart from letting mem'ries show I pretend that I'm so happy here where the blue and lonely go Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear... (Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear It's the only place I know where the blue and lonely go Where the blue and lonely go where the music's loud and clear It's the only place I know where the blue and lonely go) |

Well you fall in love with every boy you talk to
But they always turn around and set you free Have you ever stopped to think of what could happen If you ever get around to loving me Well you say they always shut you out completely To their hearts you never seemed to hold the key But you'd be surprised how many doors will open If you ever get around to loving me Loving me loving me if you ever get around to loving me Well they made you think that happiness is coldless And your world is dark and full of misery I'll do anything at all to make the sunhine If you ever get around to loving me Loving me oh loving me if you ever get around to loving me |

The woman next door has gone to the PTA
And stopped to see her best friend's husband on the way The folks down the street have a different thing So everyone is putting them down Do you believe this town? Deacon Jones preaches brotherly love every Sunday And forecloses loans on widow's homes every Monday But the smart guys say it's the only way To keep the economy sound Do you believe this town? Do you believe they voted this town dry? Well you won't believe it when I tell you why The mayor and his cousin and the chief of police have the bootlegging all nailed down Do you believe this town? Do you believe they burned a house down yesterday You won't believe the reason that they gave If the folks who lived there had a known their place They could still be hanging around Do you believe this town? Do you believe this town? |

Say, waiter, would you kindly stop, take my order please
Tonight I'm full of emptiness and old-time memories So I need somethin' special that'll chase the blues away And help me to forget about the dreams of yesterday Just bring me one, one cup of happiness and one peace of mind I'll take the biggest slice of life that you can find I think that's all I'm gonna need to leave the blues behind One cup of happiness and one peace of mind Say, Waiter, I just thought of somethin' that I've never tried I'd like to have a little bit of heaven on my side You know it may sound funny, but when I was passin' by The sign up in your window is the thing that caught my eye I don't recall exactly, but I do believe it said We guarantee to satisfy, so you go right ahead And bring me one cup of happiness and one peace of mind I'll take the biggest slice of life that you can find I think that's all I'm gonna need to leave the blues behind One cup of happiness and one peace of mind I hope that's all I'm gonna need to leave the blues behind One cup of happiness and one, one peace of mind |

Oh it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darling That it won't be long before it's crying time Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder And that tears are only rain to make love grow Well my love for you could never grow no stronger If I lived to be a hundred years old Oh it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darling That it won't be long before it's crying time Now you say you've found someone you love better That's the way it's happened every time before And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow Crying time will start when you walk out the door Oh it's crying time again, you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes |

And I wake up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes and she says hi And I stumble to the breakfast table While the kids are gonna to school goodbye She reaches out and takes my hand And squeezes it and says how you feeling hon And I look across at smiling lips That warm my heart and see my morning sun And if that's not lovin' me then all I've got to say God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime There's no such thing as Doctor Suess Disneyland or Mother Goose is no nursery rhyme God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime And when myself is feelin' low I think about her face aglow and ease my mind Sometimes I call her up at home knowing she's busy And ask if she could get away and meet me and grab a bite to eat Then she drops what she's doin' and hurries down to meet me and I'm always late But she sits waitin' patiently And smiles when she first sees me cause she's made that way And if that ain't lovin' me then all I've got to say God didn't make little green apples It don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes There's no such think as make believe Puppy dogs and autumn leaves and BB guns God didn't make little green apples And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime When myself is feelin' low I think about her face aglow and ease my mind To ease my mind to ease my mind |
