Lyrics : That’s the Way That the World Goes Round (Live)
I know a guy that's got a lot to lose
He's a pretty nice fella, kinda confused
He's got muscles in his head, ain't never been used
Thinks he owns half of this town
Started drinking heavy, got a big red nose
Beat his old lady with a rubber hose
Then he took her out to dinner, bought her new clothes
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
You're up one day, the next, you're down
It's half an inch of water, you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
I was sitting in the bathtub a-counting my toes
When the radiator broke, water all froze
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying ice cubes, hoping I'd croak
When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke
I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
You're up one day, the next, you're down
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
I was sittin' in a—
I was playing in this club in San Francisco
And this girl come up to the stage
So I leaned over and asked her what I could do for her
And she said, uh
She said, "Would you please sing that song of yours about the happy enchilada?"
I said, "Geez, I've never written a song about any kinda enchilada
Let alone a happy enchilada"
I said, "You might have me confused with somebody else"
She said, "No"
She said, "You wrote a song about a happy enchilada"
I said, "Well, how's it go?"
And she says, uh
"It's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown"
I said, "I'm glad you like the words"
That's the way that the world goes 'round
You're up one day, the next, you're down
It's a happy enchilada and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
He's a pretty nice fella, kinda confused
He's got muscles in his head, ain't never been used
Thinks he owns half of this town

That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
