How it goes
Cripple whitey was a fight spotter
He could give ya the time, he could give ya the place
But one day he fell for a farmer’s daughter
And got punched in the eye an’ shot in the face
Well, I guess that’s how it goes
Ya better keep on the tip of your toes
And enjoy the race
Uncle marty was a helluvaguy
With his ol’ guitars and his model trains
No one could believe when he left his wife
To live with a friend who survived the good reuben james
Well, I guess that’s how it goes
Ya better keep on the tip of your toes
And stay true to your aims
Shady sadie was a go-go dancer
Who at sixteen met and married captain sal
All was fine until she slept with a fixer
And sunset strip turned into o.k. Corral
Well, I guess that’s how it goes
Ya better keep on the tip of your toes
And lift your morale
John hardy was a desperate man
Some say the devil once took over his mind
Of his sins he just couldn’t repent
But he missed his wife and the other girls he left behind
Well, I guess that’s how it goes
Ya better keep on the tip of your toes
And embrace what you find
Benjy was an exchange student
Who fell in love with a girl from his block
She had the hots for this guy with a scooter
That two weeks before hit her in the head with a rock
Well, I guess that’s how it goes
Ya better keep on the tip of your toes
And close your heart with a lock
