Tom Waits - Jitterbug Boy Lyrics

Send "Jitterbug Boy" ringtone to your cell

Well, I'm 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

Playin at Ebbets Field

Seen the Kentucky Derby too

It's fast women, slow horses, I'm reliable sources

And I'm holding up a lamp post

If you want to know

I seen the Wabash Cannonball,

Buddy, I've done it all

Beause 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,

I eaten Mulligan stew

Got drunk with Louis Armstrong

What's that old song?

I taught Mickey Mantle

Everything that he knows

And so you ask me

What I'm doing here

Holding up a lamp post

Flippin this quarter,

Trying to make up my mind

And if it's heads I'll go to

Tennessee, and tails I'll buy a drink

If it lands on the edge

I'll keep talking to you
