Tom Waits - Jitterbug Boy слова песни
Well, I`m a jitterbug boy, by the shoe-shineResting on my laurels and my hardys tooLife of Riley on a swing shift, gears follow my driftOnce upon a time I was in show-biz tooI seen the Brooklyn Dodgers playing at Ebbets FieldSeen the Kentucky Derby tooIt`s fast women, slow horses, unreliable sources, And I`m holding up the lamp-post if you want to knowI`ve seen the Wabash Cannonball, buddy, I`ve done it all`Cause I slept with the lions and Marilyn Monroe, Had breakfast in the eye of a hurricaneFought Rocky Marciano, played Minnesota Fats,Burned hundred-dollar bills, I`ve eaten Mulligan stewGot drunk with Louis Armstrong, what`s that old song? I taught Mickey Mantle everything that he knowsSo you ask me what I`m doing here holding up the lamp-post, Flipping this quarter, trying to make up my mindAnd if it`s heads I go to Tennessee, and tails I buy a drink, If it lands on the edge I keep talking to you(scat)
