Now I`ve had a hard life
I been through two wives
And I`ve lived where the rats run wild
But now I`m much better and I`m writin` this letter
Just to tell you `bout your baby child

So Ma, I been busy and I know you`ve missed me
So I`m writin` this letter to you
I knows it`s been ten years but save up those sad tears
Mama let me tell ya whets new

Look at me I`m BACK ON MY FEET
Pulled myself right outa the street
So glad to be BACK ON MY FEET right now
I`m gettin` smiles from the people I meet

Wontcha tell me bout Dad now
Is he still doin` bad now
Workin in the same drugstore
Lookin` for praise now
Did he ever get that raise now
He`s been waitin twenty years for

And poor brother Billy is he still so silly
Livin with that girl crosstown
Livin off her job
I still love that poor slob
Tell him someday I`ll be round

Look at me I`m BACK ON MY FEET
Pulled myself right outa the street
So glad to be BACK ON MY FEET right now
I`m gettin` smiles from the people I meet
So glad to be BACK ON MY FEET

Well I married this girl she was a rich girl
Took her checkbook & a fountain pen
Wrote my name so fast now
Knew my luck couldn`t last now
I wrote myself three years in the pen

So I prayed to the Saviour
Got a year off for good behavior
Read the Bible so I`d understand
Now I`m workin` steady & I`m married to Betty
Doin` my best to be her good lovin` man

Mama so long now I know I was wrong now
Not to write in such a long long while
But I`ll save some money and you won`t think it`s funny
If I put you & Dad up in style

Look at me I`m BACK ON MY FEET
Pulled myself right outa the street
So glad to be BACK ON MY FEET right now
I`m gettin` smiles from the people I meet
Don't have to worry bout nothin` to eat
Now doncha think it`s kinda neat
Ya know I pulled myself right up by the seat
Of my pants
Look at me I`m BACK ON MY FEET
