THINKING 'BOUT THE TIMES YOU DROVE IN MY CAR,
THINKING THAT I MIGHT HAVE DROVE IT TOO FAR.
AND I'M THINKING 'BOUT THE LOVE THAT YOU LAID ON MY TABLE.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO WANDER 'ROUND IN THE DARK,
I TOLD YOU 'BOUT THE SWANS THAT THEY LIVE IN THE PARK.
THEN I TOLD YOU 'BOUT "OUR KID", NOW HE'S MARRIED TO MABEL.
YES, I TOLD YOU THAT THE LIFE GOES UP AND DOWN,
DON'T YOU NOTICE HOW THE WHEEL GOES 'ROUND?
AND YOU'D BETTER PICK YOURSELF UP FROM THE GROUND
BEFORE THEY BRING THE CURTAIN DOWN,
YES, BEFORE THEY BRING THE CURTAIN DOWN.
OO - OO -
GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!
TALKING 'BOUT A GIRL THAT LOOKS QUITE LIKE YOU,
SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO WAIT IN THE QUEUE.
SHE CRIED AWAY HER LIFE SINCE SHE FELL OFF THE CRADLE.
